Matinee idol from the first
He's somewhat forgetful but alert They call you angelic but you feel like such a jerk You watch all his keepers claim the purse Doer this make you feel worse? To wirness this foray Reservoir dies and he's just prey Or do you feel fine with confusion and decay? Just pleasantries keep us afloat Make us wait outside, turn delusion into pay It's hour by hour it's note by note |

Rails set up in stacks of eight
Guess it's on-time but it still feels late o.k. o.k. Not much chance but you take a swing Gulf coast league with a bottle of drink o.k. o.k. (chorus) 2 3 5 9 everyday o.k. o.k. Hey Nineteen playing on T.V. Six minute songs are the remedy Seems pretty good but it still feels late o.k. o.k. Fflied on out but we should have stayed Bought your bridge but it never played Trenton makes what Trenton made o.k. o.k. (chorus) |

No harm dirt floor charm
Low rafters keep the bass tone on Band starts can of PBR It's all so sub-par This place just might be through It's good for drinks and a game of forty-two But hey you know that's all They're booking Nashville Rather hear Chris Wall This band just drinks all day Suck up that rider and every song you play Guitar so bright it stings Deserve that suit and the abuse it brings |

Minor damage detailed in a guide to repair, home repair
Corrosive or clean, gutters and screens Conversions and squares, it's all there Helpful glossary and a fee box of nails Nicks and scratches collected through years of neglect, pur neglect Assembled in haste, abused and defaced It's all that's left, just a shell A chipboard base with a coating that's scratched all to hell Minor damage detailed in a guide to repair, home repair Compression and drains, pressure and stains Tiling and flare, it's all there Helpful glossary and a free box of nails |

Uncluttered sidewalks and trees
Zone parking five blocks from a nice grocery Maybe five-thousand CD's On custom-mad shelves filed from box-sets to Z [Chorus] Everything seems just fine in the house of Klein Cookies and treats sealed for keeps It's a decent sized store, who could want more? Weird silver thing on the door Floors have somewhat of a creak Silver is shy but Talulah's a freak Toastmaster next to the sink unused Right by the catfood and water they drink [Chorus] Repeat First Verse |

Never have much to say
I get lost in these conversations Might be slow and I've already worked a ten hour day Be a shame just to let you go Interpretation's always late you never blame it on Just a tendency to wait Your reputations's not at stake I doubt it ever was It's hardly ever what you say [Chorus] Can't see your cause for aggravation I wouldn't mind simplification I'd always counted on your faults to lead On a tendency to wait It's just a masquerade to hide your needs A need to keep this all at bay [Chorus] |

Take 3 to place say that it feels right
Same mistake you make every odd race But you say that it feels right I know that you need this Hope it can end your dry spell since the Preakness Line 'em up again (chorus) These waves of smoke make me fell high It must be too late to even up the score You'd rather bet on this some more There's no secrets hidden in the form Take 3 to win sure you should try this Like the speed bias it lengthens those odds You're sure you should try this like the spees bias (chorus) |

This street's been closed foe seven years and counting
It's just as fair as it seems I thought it'd only be two days to see this through So they're still here and you're just waiting, hoping But you can't tell what they mean I thought it'd only be two days yo see this throught I need you too |

Neighbors argue all night feel it through the floor
Every pointed remark you can't help but absorb Irreproachable, I'm not one to condemn Lifeless stare empty eyes blameless to the end Declared twice over this quarantine is your new home Dull reactor your head feels like it might implode |

Dear John thanks for your letter
And if you must know i still wear you sweater And gee it's nice how your miss me so much But through it all I feel I've lost touch Got more confident out here on my own And one thing I'm starting a home (chorus) A Lovelier man you'll never meet has come and swept me off my feet Suits my interests in every way we'll be making babies someday It all happened with little ado In fact when i fell off a gnu A mysterious man dressed up in a sack Soothed my aches as he massaged by back Told me its difference between riding a horse Took me away for a meat pie and sauce (chourus) Before I knew it I was deep in romance He took my hand and we started to dance Led me off to his house in the mountains I fell asleep in his garden of foutains When I awoke amongst chshions and drapes He was smilingly eating some grapes ▶이 곡은 호주밴드 나이스(Nice) 곡의 리메이크. 보통 '존에게'로 시작한다고 하여(존이란 알다시피 영어권에서 가장 흔한 남자이름의 대표격) 여자가 사귀던 남자에게 이별을 고하는 편지를 'dear John letter'라고도 하는데, 이 곡 역시 그 맥락에서 읽을 수 있음. |

Seem carved from stone tonight
Stuck in some odd relief painless every time Just say where it's been Just say what it costs Just say what you want Think they'll be home tonight Explains some empty streets seamless every time |

Can't be your day
Fend all serenades away Shape that was your shade (Chorus) Brief summer rains Flooding the streets but it's not the same As a tide rolling in Ready for news but it's just a hint Nights by the lake Ribs and lemonade Tom Verlaine Tape on auto-play (chorus) |
