about
As is tradition for dream pop outfit Spaceface, they present us with a snappy hit in time four our Season’s Greetings: “Nicky (Holiday Song)”. In this utmost catchy, Wall of Sound-esque essay, Penny Pitchlynn from Labrys and Broncho leads the way with a delicate vocal performance, which gently slides atop fluffy snow-like arrangements reminiscent of The Shirelles, The Ronettes or The Shangri-Las. Is this the year “Nicky” makes the naughty list yet?
lyrics
Lyrics:
“Wait, isn’t that Nicky?”
‘Mmhmm he comes around this time every year’
“You’re not still hung up on him are you?”
‘Uh-uh’
“I thought we agreed… we put him on the naughty list.”
‘Well I put him on my hottie list’
Does he notice that I love him
That I want him around
Does he even know my name
Or am I just some girl from town
Oh Nicky!
You’re driving me insane
Is love just a big game?
Nicky won’t you love me like I love you
(love me, I love you)
Won’t you make my wish come true
(make my wish, make my wish, make my wish come true)
It’s getting hard to know it
So Nicky let it show
I want to hear bells in the snow
My friends warn me
That you’ll hurt me
(you better not)
That you’ll only break my heart
(better not, gonna break your heart)
I know better
(you think you really do)
That together
We will never be apart
Oh Nicky!
Every year’s the same
Is love just a big game?
Nicky won’t you love me like I love you
(love me, I love you)
Won’t you make my wish come true
(make my wish, make my wish, make my wish come true)
It’s getting hard to know it
So Nicky let it show
I want to hear bells in the snow
“Every year the same thing, he breaks my heart
“again and again. What is it about him I can’t resist?
“All year long I long for just one kiss. His rosy cheeks
“That silly suit... I can’t help it!
“He’s just so darn cute”
Nicky won’t you love me
Like I love you
(I love you, I love you)
Nicky won’t you love me
Like I love you
(I love you I love you)
Nicky won’t you love me
Like I love you
(I love you, I love you)
Nicky won’t you love me
Nicky won’t you love me
Nicky won’t you love me
Nicky won’t you love me
