What New York Couples Fight About (KCRW Session / live at Kampo Studios, NYC 26/7/02) Songtext
Once a label is on something, it becomes an "It"
Like it′s no longer alive
It's like a loss of vision, or some dark impression
Or a black spot on your eye
And if it′s up to you, my little sweet baboo
Through the shouting and the fever
Think of life as queer, think of it, my dear
With the knobs and a fancy tone
From here there is no reason, baby's got it made
But it's not what the life′s about
What is imagination may become a fact
If we think of it that way
And if you want to know, I can tell you now
Or if you make it through somehow
Or is it best to keep or fall to sleep?
It isn′t looking very good to me from here
Hey, he's distressed and I forget
I don′t wanna know 'cause I forget
He′s distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know ′cause I forget
He's distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know ′cause I forget
He′s distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know, I don′t wanna know
What do New York couples fight about?
Brother's gonna work it out (baby′s got the bed sheet that was under you)
New York (when your time and the life expires)
Couples fight it out, what these couples fight about? (Keeps it in the closet)
What do (keeps it to herself) New York (she should throw the damn thing out)
Couples fight about, brother's gonna work it out (why should you continue?)
How do (to shake it off) New York (would you write things on the wall?)
Couples fight it out, what these couples fight about?
You could make it hard to be
In the shouting you will see
Or is it best to change the world you′re keeping
Down again?
Hey, he's distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know ′cause I forget
He′s distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know ′cause I forget
He's distressed and I forget
I don′t wanna know 'cause I forget
He′s distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Such is the sound of sorry without the shy report
Or the grips that could hold you down
Just when things were looking up
You act just like a horse′s butt
Everything was simple but the body′s worn
Got the life spread on the ground
Powder pink and general
The kitchen sink, a funeral
Every loving other, so don't you fade on me
Like a bomb that′s about to blow
Often, we will overlook
The things that make it undercooked
We can make it hard
Or we can take the world apart
Or you'd never be that sure
Of the simple thing that makes you want to cry again?
Hey, he′s distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know ′cause I forget
He's distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know ′cause I forget
He′s distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know ′cause I forget
He's distressed and I forget
I don′t wanna know, I don't wanna know
He′s distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
He′s distressed and I forget
I don′t wanna know 'cause I forget
He′s distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know ′cause I forget
He's distressed and I forget
I don′t wanna know, I don't wanna know
Let's just work it out (he′s distressed and I forget)
What New York couples fight about (I don′t wanna know 'cause I forget)
Let′s just work it out (he's distressed and I forget)
What New York couples fight about (I don′t wanna know, I don't wanna know)
Let′s just work it out (he's distressed and I forget)
What New York couples fight about (I don't wanna know ′cause I forget)
Let′s just work it out (he's distressed and I forget)
What New York couples fight about (I don′t wanna know 'cause I forget)

Let′s just work it out (he's distressed and I forget)
What New York couples fight about (I don′t wanna know 'cause I forget)
