Miss Fantasy

 

Written by L. Buckingham

I had another dream of you last Sitting on a sea of blue You were grievin' for someone else I was grievin' for you

Miss Fantasy It may be you don't remember me But I remember you

In between the shadow and the song
In between the black and blue
From a window, I heard your voice Telling me you were through Miss Fantasy It may be you don't remember me But I remember you

Miss Fantasy I can see you don't remember me But I remember you

Do you still tremble when I fall?
Will you still answer when I call?
Would you still love to linger Up against the wall...

Everyone whispers when you go Into the silence, soft and low Ten thousand voices crying "On with the show!"

Everybody's seen you shine your light
Everybody knows it's true
You're the queen of the underground
Never leaving a clue

Miss Fantasy It may be you don't remember me But I remember you

Miss Fantasy I can see you don't remember me But I remember you

I remember you
I remember you

I remember you
I remember you

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

This one's confirmed to be about Stevie, just like Sad Angel, by Lindsey himself. As he told HitFix.com, the song was inspired by "a moment when I’d had some interaction with Stevie where I felt like I was tapping into the whole lexicon of memories and of emotional connections going all the way back to before she and I were a couple. She was really much caught up in the world of her solo effort. It was right at the end of that and I felt like it was hard to kind of find her in all of that or that perhaps more accurately, it was harder for her to find me, and the person that she knew and trusted and so you know, 'Miss Fantasy,' it may be 'you don’t remember me/but I remember you' and that’s really what that’s about."

What more needs to be said? I do find it fascinating, however, how open Lindsey is about it. There was a time when he kept such things very close to the vest.
