Juno movie - Piazza, New York Catcher lyrics

rate me

Song by Belle & Sebastian<br /><br>

Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world<br>

I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl<br>

How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?<br>

How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?<br>

Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze<br>

A trail for the devil to erase <br>

San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play<br>

Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?<br>

We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay<br>

We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell<br>

About the saddest book you ever read<br>

It always makes you cry<br>

The statue’s crying too and Well he May.<br>

<br>

I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face<br>

I love you my responsibility has found a place <br>

Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words<br>

Come wave upon me from the family why not that's absurd<br>

“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”<br>

Maybe, but not what she deserves<br>

Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake<br>

We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates<br>

A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960's style<br>

We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by<br>

And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate<br>

In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare<br>

The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day<br>

The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays<br>

He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor<br>

He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for <br>

a doorway <br>

Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench<br>

Life outside the diamond is a wrench<br>

I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend<br>

I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend<br>

A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day<br>

You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”<br>

The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like <br>

a flower<br>

Meet you at the statue in an hour<br>

Meet you at the statue in an hour<br>

<br>
