Richard is important to Richard and
|
his most important friends
|
He doesn't take phone calls he sits in
|
his office and pretends
|
He's Atticus Finch, he's everybody's mensh
|
When It comes to clients he counts
|
himself among the very best
|
But when it comes to stature he only counts
|
the size of other mens desks
|
He's counting every inch, he's counting every inch
|
|
CHORUS: And It's only entertainment
|
It's only entertainment
|
Don's make it so hard
|
Don't make it so hard
|
|
Amanda of the underground brings high art
|
to her lo-fi sound
|
Her nifty hipster friends agree a band's
|
only as good as its scene
|
Save us Polly Jean, we know not what we mean
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
BRIDGE:
|
Freddie's demographic grows,
|
angry boys in baggy clothes
|
As critics eulogize the songs,
|
and record store clerks mourn along
|
And the years go by and the chords don't change
|
We're all Pat Boone by different names
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Dishes
|
She gets off work the other side of evening
|
She counts her tips and tells me that she's leaving
|
I scrape the plastic plates and dry the glasses
|
My apron is a testament to madness
|
Years of washing dishes and she's gone
|
|
Her boyfriend brags how many ways he's had her
|
The busboys and the lines cooks crack with laughter
|
And I pretend I don't know what they're saying
|
And they pretend our fate is not the same thing
|
Years of washing dishes and we're gone
|
