Sounds Expensive - Stephin Merritt[00:00:00]

I would like fo you to have this emerald ring[00:00:00]

It was crafted many years before the ming[00:00:06]

Since the story's far too sad to tell[00:00:11]

I'll sing[00:00:17]

It was made for the blind concubine lola li[00:00:18]

Who was famous for being a little choosy[00:00:21]

Her rejections were something no man could survive[00:00:25]

So the ring-maker had himself buried alive[00:00:29]

It's a terrible tale full of passion and gore[00:00:33]

That sure sounds expensive [00:00:36]

We can't wait to hear more[00:00:38]

In a few generations it came to a monk[00:00:41]

Who said "things of this world[00:00:44]

Are all baubles and junk "[00:00:46]

So he gave it to lola lo[00:00:48]

Some general's wife[00:00:50]

Which was quickly discovered[00:00:52]

He paid with his life[00:00:53]

It's a tale of violence[00:00:56]

A thing we deplore[00:00:58]

But it sounds expensive [00:00:59]

What are you stopping for [00:01:01]

A bad playwright gave it to his new ingenue[00:01:04]

The impossibly bad actress sweet lola lu[00:01:07]

But the playwright said something[00:01:11]

He shouldn't have said[00:01:13]

And now both the playwright and[00:01:15]

The actress are dead[00:01:17]

It's a kind of thing no one can make anymore [00:01:19]

And it sounds expensive when it[00:01:24]

Falls to the floor[00:01:27]
