Why I Can't Draw - The Smith Street Band[00:00:00]
I found an old notebook filled up with pictures[00:00:27]
Found my friends in hospital beds with[00:00:30]
Facial stitches[00:00:33]
We sat around the table drinking[00:00:34]
Hoping no one would ever die[00:00:36]
A scribble of an elephant with [00:00:41]
Why I can't draw and why everyone is evil[00:00:44]
Written above it in faded black ink[00:00:47]
Heated debate about the legal system [00:00:54]
Let's have a rally[00:00:57]
Let's start a revolution[00:00:58]
Set fire under our feet[00:01:00]
Do our best not to stamp it out[00:01:02]
And all I can see through the rooftops[00:01:07]
And the chimneys is the top of a billboard[00:01:09]
That reads love[00:01:12]
And I think It's an advert for[00:01:13]
Nasal spray technology[00:01:15]
But in my current state it doesn't matter much[00:01:16]
And these things are consuming[00:01:20]
But there's more to me than[00:01:22]
Lack of sleep and anxiety[00:01:25]
And darling[00:01:27]
You've befriended drop-outs and drifters[00:01:27]
So why would you expect anything different[00:01:30]
This is a summer song [00:01:34]
And I want you all to sing along[00:01:37]
And a woman with a face[00:01:57]
That slid right down to the top of[00:01:58]
Her dress told me[00:01:59]
I'd succeed because[00:02:00]
I'd been touched by a goddess[00:02:01]
If society's taught me anything[00:02:03]
It's that writing is much easier than speaking[00:02:05]
That walking is best done in silence[00:02:10]
And rooftops are best left leaking[00:02:13]
And as we boarded up the walls[00:02:15]
Where our fists had fell the night before[00:02:18]
I said I'm sorry that I shout[00:02:19]
I'm not sorry but I don't put out[00:02:21]
I'm sorry[00:02:22]
I don't understand things unless[00:02:23]
I find music in them[00:02:25]
And I know that you feel like I left you[00:02:29]
But you left me without much of a choice[00:02:33]
I haven't learn to draw but at least[00:02:37]
I've never lost[00:02:39]
Never lost my voice[00:02:42]
These things are consuming[00:02:43]
But there's more to me than[00:02:46]
Lack of sleep and anxiety[00:02:48]
And darling[00:02:50]
You've befriended drop-outs and drifters[00:02:50]
So why would you expect anything different[00:02:53]
This is a summer song [00:02:57]
And I want you all to sing along[00:03:00]
