Small Poppies Songtext
von Courtney Barnett

I stare at the lawn, it′s Wednesday morning
It needs a cut, but I'll leave it growing
All different sizes and all shades of green
Slashing it down just seems kind of mean

In a way, it′s a shame you get away thinking it's just a game
Who am I to deny myself a pawn for you to use?
At the end of the day, it's a pain that I keep seeing your name
But I′m sure it′s a bore being you


I don't know quite who I am, oh, but man, I am trying
I′ll make mistakes until I get it right
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I don't agree with that, why can′t we just talk nice?

Oh, the calamity, I wanna go to sleep for an eternity
Who am I to deny myself a pawn?
Oh, the humanity, I wanna disappear into obscurity
But I'm sure it′s a bore being you

I don't know quite who I am, oh, but man, I am trying
I'll make mistakes until I get it right
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I used to hate myself, but now I think I′m alright


I don′t know quite who I am, oh, but man, I am trying
I'll make mistakes until I get it right
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I dreamed I stabbed you with a coat hanger wire
