[00:02.54] Sprout Prefab - Last Of The Great Romantics
[00:06.53] Here comes the last of the great romantics.
[00:11.45]
[00:12.46] Faithful and true, believing in you,
[00:17.72]
[00:21.48] regardless of the things you do.
[00:24.04]
[00:29.11] Here comes the last of the great romantics,
[00:34.10]
[00:34.97] feet planted wide, defying the tide.
[00:40.20]
[00:43.77] Come on Gatsby, stand aside.
[00:46.82]
[00:51.50] People see me walking down the street
[00:55.88] and I hear them saying 'here he comes'
[01:01.07]
[01:01.76] That boy makes a banquet from
[01:05.80]
[01:06.49] a table of crumbs...
[01:10.30] He hears romantic music in
[01:14.36] unanswered phones,
[01:16.48] in the angry slamming of a door,
[01:20.47]
[01:21.41] and the girl that he's mad about
[01:25.52]
[01:26.29] does not care any more.
[01:29.91]
[01:32.15] Here comes the last of the great romantics.
[01:38.69]
[01:44.21] Defying the tide.
[01:45.71]
[01:47.08] Come on Gatsby, stand aside.
[01:50.32]
[01:55.32] Here comes the last of the great romantics.
[02:01.23] Not foolish, not grand, taking a stand.
[02:06.55]
[02:10.62] Out of touch? No, in command!
[02:14.62]
[02:36.90] So people, never ridicule the lovesick fool
[02:42.47] or say he's only carrying a torch,
[02:47.27]
[02:48.02] in his hands it's a flamethrower
[02:52.19]
[02:52.82] and his judgement is scorched.
[02:56.76]
[02:58.81] Here comes the last of the great romantics.
[03:04.93] Not tortured, not wracked. Illusions intact.
[03:10.67]
[03:14.29] Undiscouraged by the facts.
[03:17.04]
[03:21.98] Here comes the last of the great romantics.
[03:28.31] Feet planted wide, defying the tide,
[03:33.19]
[03:37.18] come on Gatsby, stand aside.
[03:40.54]
[03:44.91] Here comes the last of the great romantics.
[03:50.93]
