An Argument With Myself - Jens Lekman[00:00:00]
Having an argument with myself down Elizabeth Street[00:00:26]
Bumping into backpackers[00:00:33]
And struggling with the parameters[00:00:34]
And the basic construction of my feet[00:00:35]
Kicking beer cans and rubbish along the concrete[00:00:40]
Crossing the street and crossing galaxies[00:00:47]
Of taxis and backseats and drunk suites[00:00:49]
And half-Greeks[00:00:52]
Shut up no you shut up[00:00:54]
What's the matter take a number Buttercup[00:00:56]
Every time I hear you say "F**k it"[00:00:57]
I would remind you of the photo in your pocket[00:00:59]
How long's it been there Two years I bet[00:01:01]
Have a sniff it smells like a cigarette[00:01:03]
When was the last time you smoked a cigarette [00:01:05]
And more importantly who did you smoke it with [00:01:06]
Having an argument with myself down Victoria Street[00:01:09]
Passing the market[00:01:15]
Now the windows neon illuminating my path to defeat[00:01:17]
Your grinning face scaring a poor parakeet[00:01:23]
Your heavy breathing scaring the wind[00:01:30]
So rich on Summer and so sweet[00:01:33]
F**k you no you f**k you[00:01:38]
You didn't come here for nothing did you [00:01:39]
I know that's what you've been saying lately[00:01:41]
But let me draw attention to exhibit B[00:01:43]
Honeysuckle on a little plastic envelope[00:01:44]
And put the flower underneath a microscope[00:01:47]
See what's written on the petals[00:01:48]
Look closer that's her initials[00:01:50]
And now I'm walking by Bev and Mick's[00:01:51]
Backpacker hostel on Victoria Street[00:01:58]
Where it's reggae night tonight[00:02:01]
And the backpackers are pouring out[00:02:03]
Like a tidal wave of vomit[00:02:04]
I have to sit down on the curbside[00:02:06]
And count the coins in my pocket[00:02:08]
See if I have enough cash to take a taxi home[00:02:10]
No alright yes can we just try to figure this out [00:02:13]
Can we just talk about this please [00:02:19]
Nah I don't wanna talk to you[00:02:21]
Okay you wanna keep fighting [00:02:23]
Yeah I wanna keep on fighting[00:02:25]
Alright fair enough[00:02:26]
1 2 3 here we go[00:02:28]
Having an argument with myself down Queensbury Street[00:02:29]
The lonely light from the town hall clock tower[00:02:37]
The chime of the bells striking[00:02:40]
1 2 3[00:02:41]
And it took shape in the form of an image[00:02:44]
In the form of a living memory[00:02:46]
The way her shadow used to walk by your side[00:02:51]
In a different time in a different city[00:02:53]
Oh please no you oh please[00:02:56]
I wanna see you drop down on your knees[00:03:00]
Someone will see your hand waving farewell[00:03:01]
Why you're hittin' yourself why you're hittin' yourself [00:03:03]
He's to repeat this half twice at March[00:03:05]
Then it's farce[00:03:07]
But where did I find the source[00:03:08]
To make history of a love a love like ours[00:03:10]
A love like ours[00:03:18]
