Car Lily damaged - wax it, perhaps, if feeling enthusiastic? (7)
I believe the answer is:
lyrical
'enthusiastic?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'car lily damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'car'+'lily'='carlily'
'carlily' anagrammed gives 'LYRICAL'.
'wax it perhaps if feeling' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lyrical that I've seen before include "To wax - is to enthuse" , "Song-like, imaginative or expressive" , "Using poetic language, wax thus (7)" , "We may wax this" , "Relating to song's words" .)
