[00:16.34] |
I never wanted any children |
[00:17.92] |
|
[00:19.02] |
Just a nice apartment with open air |
[00:21.76] |
And big windows and all the flowers |
[00:24.63] |
And I could only ever see myself there |
[00:27.13] |
Yeah I guess I was too hard for my own good |
[00:30.36] |
|
[00:31.52] |
And then my friends began to fall in love |
[00:33.82] |
First with themselves and then with each other |
[00:35.90] |
|
[00:36.82] |
I met my despair at midday light |
[00:38.93] |
|
[00:39.50] |
And it was amazing and I almost cried |
[00:42.17] |
|
[00:43.40] |
Nothing that comes and goes is you |
[00:45.46] |
|
[00:46.86] |
But you can compensate for love's sake |
[00:49.11] |
And say yes and make something together |
[00:51.24] |
Something new |
[00:51.91] |
|
[00:52.65] |
In times of roses who amaze our now & here |
[00:55.44] |
And friends in dresses interference fits |
[00:58.72] |
A thousand little ceremonies we admit |
[01:01.33] |
|
[01:02.06] |
We dress up to confront the coming year |
[01:03.96] |
|
[01:04.85] |
There's something present that wasn't before |
[01:07.18] |
|
[01:09.18] |
We fade into the background man |
[01:11.20] |
|
[01:12.11] |
Of filtered light where and when we can |
[01:14.41] |
|
[01:15.52] |
And live out a thousand weird lives |
[01:17.43] |
In conversations of churches and veils and wives |
[01:20.34] |
|
[01:21.21] |
And it makes me strong and unsinkable |
[01:23.57] |
It makes me sick it makes the water undrinkable |
[01:25.92] |
|
[01:27.09] |
It feels like singing badly in the clear |
[01:29.10] |
|
[01:30.19] |
Since we began to dress to meet the year |
[01:32.25] |
|
[01:32.80] |
When did we all decide to give up |
[01:34.60] |
|
[01:35.67] |
Since when do we say yes to love |
[01:37.34] |
|
[01:39.09] |
He broke in and he'll take what he can |
[01:42.32] |
It burns like a curse and it fits on my hand |
[01:45.17] |
A cluster of opals and diamonds and scenes |
[01:47.83] |
|
[01:48.35] |
Pay you a penny and stay where i stand |
[01:51.57] |
Trading the diamonds for some golden band |
[01:53.83] |
God what am I doing with somebody's son |
[01:57.18] |
|
[01:57.93] |
In the same way a bulldozer studies an orchid |
[02:00.76] |
Yes I am a student of the teachings of love |
[02:03.18] |
|
[02:03.77] |
In the same way that shame |
[02:05.10] |
Changes love as we know it |
[02:06.89] |
Like your body moves into mine and outgrows it |
[02:09.34] |
And splits me from mouth down to thigh like a gun |
[02:13.40] |
What am I doing with somebody's son |
[02:15.96] |
|
[02:16.59] |
We knew better we knew we would break |
[02:19.97] |
We gave it until we gave up and we know |
[02:22.80] |
That we compensate for love's sake |
[02:25.03] |
Now we say yes |
[02:26.62] |
|
[02:29.08] |
And so |
