Emmy The Great - Canopies And Drapes lyrics

rate me

I wanna see you tonight

What's the point?

All we do is fight

I've loved you

So long

I don't know who I'd be without

My head hurts

I wish I'd never woke up

I feel worse

Than when S Club 7 broke up

I hate the day

It hates me

So does everybody else

I sit here drooling on my own again

And like a routine episode of Friends

What does it mean to be American?

Is it

Feelings, coffee and

I'll be there for you?

Later on me and a bottle will hook up to have some fun

Then I'll call your house at twelve to let you know

That I'm drunk

Say I'm sorry Mr C, I was just looking for your son

How are you, incidentally, do you know if he's out

Alone?

There is this book he lent to me something like seven

Months ago

I'm gonna burn it in the street be so kind as let him

Know

That I'm dealing

With this badly

And

Could he please get back to me?

Since you've gone my only friends are Billy Bragg and

The Jam

Though my time with you has got me feeling oh so k.d.

Lang

I think you're right about the New Kids on the Block

And I agree now Billy Joel does not rock

Wish I could tell you all the things that Woody Allen

Helps me see

How Annie Hall is starting to seem quite a lot like you

And me

It took a while to come around to David Bowie's new CD

And it's much too late to give back your Magnetic

Fields EP

Can I keep it

By my pillow?

Fucking loved it

How I long to tell you so

When I get to sleep I'll dream again of canopies and

Grapes

And wake shaking from the knowledge that the mattress

Holds your shape

I assume my phone is dead because it hasn't rung for

Months

If tomorrow is the funeral do you think that you could

Come?

I could give you back your music and your t-shirts and

Your socks

Walk to Jazz's house in SOHO cry into her letter box

Spend some time out to resuscitate my soul

Take up smoking and drink carrot juice and grow

Teach the mattress to expel you from it's folds

Then dry my eyes and keep on walking til the motion

Makes me strong

Until one day I realise I don't remember that you're

Gone

We'll be strangers

Who were lovers

I'll recover

It's so weird how time goes on
