Competition Smile Lyrics


Looking up I saw nothing but blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless so help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine, emulate the style, a competition smile
Now I'm running, not looking and opening up my brain
Where it's easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
I'm hoping you'll notice that no one else helps me grow
Oh, it's not easy to let you know
What I'm dying to show, dying until you know
Pretending all the while, a competition smile
Now I've thrown something far and it haunts me like a curse
I'm like a stone falling hard and I'm only getting worse
Looking up I saw nothing but blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye

And going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless so help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine, pretending all the while
A competition smile, I'm hiding high

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Gin Blossoms are an alternative rock band formed in 1987, in Tempe, Arizona, United States. The band originally consisted of Robin Wilson (vocals, guitar), Jesse Valenzuela (guitar, vocals), Doug Hopkins (guitar), Bill Leen (bass) and Phillip Rhodes (drums). Shortly after finishing their debut record "New Miserable Experience", the band fired Hopkins (who was also the band's principal songwriter and penned their hits "Found Out About You" and "Hey Jealousy") and replaced him with Scott Johnston. Sadly, Hopkins committed suicide in December of 1993. Rhodes left the band shortly after their 2002 reunion, and returned for a brief period in 2005. Currently the band does not have a permanent drummer.

They took their name from a photo of W.C. Fields which bore the caption "W.C. Fields with gin blossoms," referring to the actor's gin-ravaged nose. The band, who were musically weaned on The Byrds and Tom Petty, released three albums and had several hits in the mid 1990s, before breaking up in 1997. Five years later in 2002, the band reunited, released a DVD, resumed touring, and promised a fourth album. Major Lodge Victory, the Gin Blossoms' first album in ten years, was released on August 8, 2006 on the Hybrid Recordings label.
