Somerville (demo) Songtext
von Pernice Brothers

I′m sick of the cynical
I'm sick of the fashion show
The vapid and overblown someone someone tells me I ought to know
I wouldn′t stay around if the money let me linger on 'til the end of December
And waste another year like a minute, trying to forget, 'cause I remember my home
I left there with bitter words
I′ll go back with cap in hand, and launder the bed I made, hurtful things said, and pick up where I began
The penny lost its shine Dirty ankles on the promenade in rubber flip-flop sandals
Give me back the rags, the neurotic and the sweet lament, ′cause I can't handle it
I′m gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to Somerville
Show her around the neighborhood, re-case the place and settle down
Gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to Somerville
Don't care if she′s pretty as we leave Suck City
