I'm In Love With Her (Record Collection)

wilderness years

Liner notes

Friend Miriam helped me get hold of an MP3 for a woman I fancied, and I wrote this by way of thanks. There's a bit of High Fidelity in this, and the 'escape' line rubs me the wrong way now.

There’s a girl I’ve never seen before
Browsing in the record store
She’s behaving like an obsessive fan
Looking for some Bowie on import from Japan
And I’m in love with her... record collection
I’m in love with her... record collection, yeah

I’m going to introduce myself
Once she moves away from the country shelf
I don’t think I can let her escape
Until I promise to make her a tape
Because I’m in love with her... record collection
I’m in love with her... record collection, yeah.

I hope the shine’ll
Never fade from her vintage vinyl
Like it did with all my Neil Young
Oh the needle and the damage done *Ouch.
I’m in love with her... record collection
I’m in love with her... record collection, yeah
