The evening before at a literary party, |
| [00:13.91] |
With warm intellectuals who listen to Francoise Hardy, |
| [00:18.16] |
Asked a poet about his summer, he said up and down |
| [00:22.37] |
Cleverly transforming adverbs into nouns. |
| [00:26.56] |
And I thought it probable that there had been more of the last, |
| [00:30.66] |
but being socially intelligent, I changed the subject fast, |
| [00:34.90] |
We had a card made of gold, could have bought us anything, |
| [00:39.27] |
But there was no time before we had to get up and sing. |
| [00:43.52] |
And I wished I was Andrew Bird just younger, |
| [00:47.68] |
I wished that this crush would last a little bit longer, |
| [00:52.29] |
And in spite of the dreadful design, |
| [00:55.68] |
I remember fragments of an island, |
| [00:59.49] |
With a fake coastline. |
| [01:17.68] |
The next few days during shifting weather, |
| [01:21.57] |
Enjoying the sun or hoping it would get better, |
| [01:25.57] |
i saw two people kissing at the funeral, |
| [01:29.81] |
They were not good-looking, but oh so beautiful. |
| [01:34.17] |
We stole three pens and a poncho and got out of that tent, |
| [01:38.47] |
To go play some ping-pong with balls from heaven sent, |
| [01:42.52] |
I wrote letters to you whenever I could find the time, |
| [01:46.72] |
And they were touching like nothing, but far from sublime. |
| [01:51.26] |
And I wished I was Andrew Bird just younger, |
| [01:55.36] |
I wished that this crush would last a little bit longer, |
| [01:59.61] |
And in spite of the dreadful design, |
| [02:03.35] |
I remember fragments of an island, |
| [02:07.58] |
With a fake coastline. |
| [02:33.97] |
There's a bridge you have to cross as the rain starts to pour, |
| [02:38.42] |
You're in the middle of eight thousand people or more |
| [02:44.44] |
It might seem forced at first but you get into it after a while, |
| [02:49.31] |
And then to come inside and see a man with such style. |
| [02:53.20] |
And I wished I was Andrew Bird just younger, |
| [02:57.52] |
I wished that this crush would last a little bit longer, |
| [03:01.53] |
And in spite of the dreadful design, |
| [03:05.32] |
I remember fragments of an island, |
| [03:08.99] |
With a fake coastline. |
