Says she likes my hair ’cause it’s down my back/Says she likes the group ’cause we pull in the slack/Oh yeah, oh yeah
from Teenage Fanclub lyrics by Ben Gibbard
Gibbard‘s cover of Teenage Fanclub‘s “The Concept” is as straightforward as the original, at least lyrically — he didn’t make any ‘creative changes’. Musically, Gibbard’s version is a little slower and more chill, but still has the same yearning for a girl who “won’t be forced against her will” and who wears denim everywhere. The yearning is there, but so is the pain — the whole chorus is a regret of hurting this woman.
