Today's Song: Fun & Games by The Connells

The Connells are, of course, one of my all-time favorite alternative rock/pop bands. They qualify as power pop at least some of the time, so I've had some of their songs in my recent power pop rotations. I was listening to one of their songs tonight when I noticed how nasty the lyrics really ware... and it occurred to me that this song is a perfect theme song for some villain...

Let me tear down into your heart
Let me take a seat and stay awhile
Let me tear down into your heart
Ah, fun and games.

Let me steal a glimpse from your eyes
Let me pin it up and stare awhile
Let me steal a glimpse from your eyes
Ah, fun and games.


Let me have a half of your whole
Let me keep it for myself awhile
Let me have a half of your whole
Ah, fun and games.

Let me take the words from your mouth
Let me swallow them and speak awhile
Let me take the words from your mouth
Ah, fun and games.

Didn't I offer less than I lost?
Didn't I mean to find it all?
Look, don't let me size it up.
Hey, right.
