ok so there was a song all over the radio at a certain time that i'm trying to get my hands/ears on, i don't know it's name or what band it was by, but it was around early '03 that it was getting played several times a day on major stations. it was kinda melancholy, kinda low-tempo (think emo meets softened aic, or maybe ben harper) and mostly acoustic. the only line i can recall clearly is from the chorus "something old and something new (catchy guitar fill) something borrowed something blue"

ring any bells with anybody? please tell me if so :)
cheers

    Polystyrene, I wanna daydream, I need an enemy to get me through,
    Prodigal sunscreen, our love's a guillotine, something borrowed, something blue.
    Another ship sunk, family tree trunk, deep scar diving, I look for you,
    And we're hoping and we're choking, something borrowed, something blue.

    I get the feeling I could leave you on the interstate,
    I get the feeling like I just broke through.
    I get the feeling like you never mattered anyway,
    Something borrowed, something blue.

    It gets harder, my father, the weight you manage and the damage too,
    Polystyrene, I wanna daydream, something borrowed, something...

    I get the feeling I could leave you on the interstate,
    I get the feeling like I just broke through.
    I get the feeling like you never mattered anyway,
    Something borrowed, something...
    I get the feeling I could leave you on the interstate,
    I get the feeling like I just broke through.
    I get the feeling like you never mattered anyway,
    Something borrowed, something blue; something borrowed, something blue,
    Something borrowed, something blue; something borrowed, something blue.
    Ten floors, I'm falling, guess who I'm recalling?
    Oh yeah, it's true, my life begins and ends with you.
    I get the feeling I could leave you on the interstate,
    I get the feeling like I just broke through.
    I get the feeling like you never mattered anyway,
    Something borrowed, something...
    I get the feeling I could leave you on the interstate,
    I get the feeling like I just broke through.
    I get the feeling like you never mattered anyway,
    Something borrowed, something blue; something borrowed, something blue,
    Something borrowed, something blue; something borrowed, something blue.






    great song!

    Love Ben Lee :)

    He has such a charismatic personality...and hes very very talented, writed all his own stuff (i think) and plays a shitload of instruments.
    and he's an Aussie!!
    he who forgets will be destined to remember

    hey i scored 2 or maybe 3 out of 4! i'm aussie, write all my own stuff, can play a bunch of instruments depending on the definition of "play". i have no talent at all though. still, as i said before, the wiggles became millionaires so there's hope for anybody! why couldn't i have been the one to make a fortune out of acting an imbecile as a grown man? should have never grown up at all! if i had known then what i know now...
