Sophie : What'll you be when you grow up?
Julien : A tyrant!
Sophie : A tyrant? Your people subjugated?
Julien : Totally! With a harem, slaves, and torture every Thursday!
Sophie : Cool!
Julien : And you?
Sophie : Well, I... No, it's too dumb.
Julien : Tell me!
Sophie : You won't like it.
Julien : I told you! Tell me!
Sophie : I'd like to be a flan. A flan with apricots, or even a plain one. Lukewarm at the bakery. In the window.
Julien : A flan? As in cake?
Sophie : Of course! What else! A flan is a flan!
Julien : A flan... Yeah, of course, a flan! That's brilliant!

it's not the first time i heard of camera obscura- was it 'books for girls' that i heard? Can't remember, but it was one of those random weekend afternoons/weekday nights that i was bored with my current playlist and was exploring indie bands/songs to listen to and had chanced upon it. Didn't appeal to me much then, but-

just had to find out what this song when it came on N's playlist while we were listening to it together.



Spent a week in a dusty library
Waiting for some words to jump at me
We met by a trick of fate
French navy, my sailor mate

We met by the moon on a silvery lake
You came my way
Said, "I want you to stay."

You and your dietary restriction
Said you loved me with a lot of conviction
I was waiting to be struck by lightning
Waiting for somebody exciting


Like you
Oh, the thing that you do
You make me go, "Oooh"
With the things that you do, you do, you do

I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it

I'll be criticized for lending out my art
I was criticized for letting you break my heart
Why would I stand for disappointed looks
Fooling all but I'm on tender hooks, ooh with the looks
On tender hooks,
Ooh, with the looks, the looks, the looks

I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it

Relationships were something I used to do
Convince me they are better for me and you
We met by a trick of fate
French navy, my sailor-

I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
