I challenge anyone to read the following lyrics and say with certainty whether they were written by Del Rey or Nowell: вЂњOh, take this veil from my eyes / My burning sun will someday rise.вЂќ All of which is to say that the little Venice bitch appears additionally well qualified to represent the LBC I might even suggest that her version of вЂњDoinвЂ™ TimeвЂќ improves upon the original, with its slinkier arrangement and fluttering bridge, but IвЂ™ve always been more of a вЂњWrong WayвЂќ loyalist myself.
