Sun Kil Moon - The Moderately Talented Yet Attractive Young Woman vs. The Exceptionally Talented Yet Not So Attractive Middle Aged Man lyrics

rate me

Your simple song, a small creation

Always needing validation

Your pouty face, your great photos

Without them baby, who would notice?

We met once, we were ___, back stage in dallas

Got your phone number, what a good kisser

I left her for Tampa, and I missed her

But on stage you weren’t strong

I don’t recall any songs

But when you sang you hit the notes

I'll give you that, you didn’t choke

And you looked so good

Like a actress from Hollywood

And your eyes they glistened

But no one listened

One day you’ll be forty

Trust me baby it ain't sporty

You’ll be pleased to be reviewed

Cause there’s always something new

Someone young, press-friendly, you’ll be searching

Are there any?

Travel hard, around the globe

But does anyone know?

Moderately talented young woman,

Dreams that she once had

You’re a dream, a burning star

The way you sing and play guitar

The way your words cut through

You cast a spell on a room

But your eyes are far

And you hide many scars

Lost friends, ex-lovers, hidden dads, buried mothers

I could only love you like a friend, Dark Soldier

cos I got someone else and you’re older

I didn’t mean to go alone

But god I love your songs

What a night, what a moment

But don’t read it wrong

Moderately talented young woman vs the

Exceptionally talented old man.
