    LYRICS: "Lloyd I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken"
    He said "I'll protect you like you are the crown jewels" yet
    Said he's feeling sorrier for me the more I behave badly
    I can bet
    Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
    I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
    Jealousy is more than a word now I understand
    I know you can stay a girl by holding a boy's hand
    Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
    I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
    Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
    I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
    I've got my life of complication here to sort out
    I'll take myself to an east coast city and walk about
    Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
    I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
    Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
    I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
    Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
    I can't see further than my own nose at the moment

      @@huesos_azules you are obviously confused. The song is no 10 on Lloyd Coles album Rattlesnakes, from 1984. I also heard an intervju with Lloyd Cole after the release of Camera Obscuras song Lloyd, Im ready to be heartbroken and he was a bit proud of that. All this is facts. So go on with Your own theories, but Keep me and Lloyd Cole out of it. Case closed.

    Saw them in 09. Most humble band I’ve ever seen live. There was a no photography policy at the venue and the band made a point to make an amendment to the rules for the night. When I was leaving I saw them on their tour bus, and right before they closed the door I noticed they had a full bar on board. 🎉

    This thrilling musical hyper-Spector "wall of sound", and stylistic mashup of 50s Eisenhower kitsch, and Pop-Art, and 60s psychedelia, is one of the most grating, mocking and cynical parodies of air-headed surrender to teenage heterosexual fantasies, and drivelous bourgeois domestic bliss, I have ever had the chuckling pleasure to watch.
    A salutary reminder of just how much of our culture and the very core of our facilely-supposed authentic selves is ruthlessly manufactured by capitalistic technicians, seeking to dismantle our real humanity, and sell us material and psychical junk. Just to ensure that their ever-accumulating piles of Alberichean Gold grow even faster!
    What a civilisation, ehh.

    RUclips not recommending "Lloyd I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken" by Camera Obscura in the sidebar for the video for "Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken" by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions is a HUGE fail on the part of the algorithm.

      The old film clip at 2:00 is from "Till the Clouds Roll By" (1946).
