«You’re the sweet scent on an envelope»

Después del psicodélico debut de los Mystery Jets, muchos se preguntarían que pasaría con ellos. Se tomaron su buen tiempo en sacar su segundo disco, además de que el primero no había sido particularmente exitoso. Blaine Harrison, cantante y líder de la banda, respondió cambiando totalmente el sonido del grupo, y de paso llegando a un acuerdo con su papá para que saliera de la banda.  Así es como este año, si bien fama y fortuna no llegaron de manera abundante, al menos si de mejor manera que con su primer disco, además del reconocimiento casi uniersal de la crítica. Este fue el tercer y último single de su muy exitoso disco 21. Buen video aparte.

Mystery Jets – Half In Love With Elizabeth

Some things are too painful to say out loud
Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud
Words fly through his mouth
Like paper butterflies
Well they flutter around and put holes in your side

And he’s half in love with Elizabeth
And he’s half in love with you

I knew that you were thinking of him last night
‘Cos I saw the blood seep down to your toes
Yes, hideaway if you must
But how can you put your trust
In a man who always sleeps in his clothes?

And he’s half in love with Elizabeth
And he’s half in love with you

And he’s half in love with Elizabeth
And he’s half in love with you

You’re the sweet scent on an envelope
Or the photo in its book
But if you pin your hopes to his
I’m afraid the bubble will burst
I’m afraid that the bubble just might burst

The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst

And he’s half in love with Elizabeth
And he’s half in love with you

And he’s half in love with Elizabeth
And he’s half in love with you
