“Love Is a Camera” was the third single of ‘Wanderlust’, the third album of English singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor. According to Sophie, the song tells the story of a witch who takes photographs of individuals only to trap them behind picture frames.
The song is a baroque-inspired tango which culminate...
[Verse 1]
A winter morning black as any night
A landscape held in time under the ice
There's a house on the hill
She's living there still
Rooms are full of pictures black and white
So, the story goes, she lives alone
Her company is framed in monochrome
She keeps them alive
Long after they've died
No one ever knows until they've gone
[Chorus]
Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity, with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories
[Verse 2]
I once went to her house when I was young
The spell to be her subject was too strong
Now, from here, behind glass, I see more fools pass
Flies caught in a secret web she's spun
[Chorus]
Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity, with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories
[Bridge]
Every photograph is a cenotaph
Won't you stay here a while?
In a flash, you'll see
You belong to me
All I need is a smile
[Chorus]
Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity, with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories
Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity, with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories
[Outro]
Run, run away from the house on the hill
There's a witch in the house and she's living there still
Run, run away from the house on the hill
There's a witch in the house and she's living there still
