Wait I Have Never Ever Ever Seen This!

[David]

The Buckingham-Nicks saga (whose exaltedly melodramatic qualities are usually characterized by the hyperromantic Nicks) was laid out in "Over My Head":

Your mood is like a circus wheel
You're changing all the time
Sometimes I can't help but feel that I'm wasting all of my time

Nicks gets labeled the prescient one--the one who foretells the future in song. But Chris McVie has earned that title more than Nicks.

As I think back over McVie's songs, they describe the saga more clearly than Nicks does in her own songs.

Although I'm not making plans
I hope that you understand there's a reason why . . .
No more broken hearts
We're better off apart

***
If you love me, let me know
Why don't you show me which way to go?
Please don't leave me all alone
Because I can't make it on my own

***
Are you just a bad loser?
You'll never let go
