from Under The Rainbow (live) / Weightless Double Single by The Jane Austen Argument / Neon Bogart
about
A censored song about vengeance and coffee.
lyrics
Couldn't you see?
When we went out for coffee, I was so nervous
Our eyes couldn't meet
You were the coolest kid on Lygon St
But what do you know -
Turns out you really [bleeped] up the whole show
Just as I was starting to regret
That I hadn't really gotten to know you yet
Oh, what the [bleep] happened?
What the [bleep]?
Oh, you've got to sort out your [bleep]
But I'll remember the day
You were the coolest kid on Lygon St
Couldn't you guess?
By the time we began to undress,
I thought you were pretty neat
And I liked the way you took the boots from my feet
But as it turns out -
You're not at all what I thought you were about
Yeah I thought you were delightful
Right up until you turned [bleeping] spiteful
Oh, what the [bleep] happened?
What the [bleep]?
Oh, you've got to sort out your [bleep]
But I'll remember the day
You were the coolest kid on Lygon St
And couldn't you tell?
When I picked up my clothes from where they fell,
I strived for grace under your gaze
Not that it matters now anyways
Oh, what the [bleep] happened?
What the [bleep]?
Oh, you've got to sort out your [bleep]
But the next time we meet
I'll be the coolest cunt on Lygon St
When we went out for coffee, I was so nervous
Our eyes couldn't meet
You were the coolest kid on Lygon St
But what do you know -
Turns out you really [bleeped] up the whole show
Just as I was starting to regret
That I hadn't really gotten to know you yet
Oh, what the [bleep] happened?
What the [bleep]?
Oh, you've got to sort out your [bleep]
But I'll remember the day
You were the coolest kid on Lygon St
Couldn't you guess?
By the time we began to undress,
I thought you were pretty neat
And I liked the way you took the boots from my feet
But as it turns out -
You're not at all what I thought you were about
Yeah I thought you were delightful
Right up until you turned [bleeping] spiteful
Oh, what the [bleep] happened?
What the [bleep]?
Oh, you've got to sort out your [bleep]
But I'll remember the day
You were the coolest kid on Lygon St
And couldn't you tell?
When I picked up my clothes from where they fell,
I strived for grace under your gaze
Not that it matters now anyways
Oh, what the [bleep] happened?
What the [bleep]?
Oh, you've got to sort out your [bleep]
But the next time we meet
I'll be the coolest cunt on Lygon St
