From Jeff Litman’s, Crowded Hour EP (out March 28), "Next Affair" executes that impossible fusion of Prince and Elvis Costello, its falsetto and subterranean moisture telegraphing cynical acceptance of post-Tinder erotic roundelays, where liaisons end as begun.
lyrics
I want to tickle your fancy
I want to make you relax with reckless abandon
well how about that
now, was it so random that you chose to wear that hat
was it a statement of fashion or just a sign of the times
or was it religion?
well, that’d be just fine
now let’s break this tension before I outgrow my mind
I never said I would give my heart
it isn’t mine to share
sooner or later we’ll be back at the start and it’s not that far
so let’s get on with the next affair
I never said I would give my heart
it isn’t mine to share
sooner or later we’ll be back at the start and it’s not that far
so let’s get on with the next affair
let’s get on with the next affair
let’s get on with the next affair
