If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say, "Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would and if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But they bow down to him anyway
It's better than being alone
If I was scared, I would and if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
Now you're knocking at my door
Saying "Please come out with us tonight"
But I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright
If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say, "Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would and if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not, now I'm ready to start
If I was scared, I would and if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not, now I'm ready to start, now I'm ready to start
I would rather be wrong
than live in the shadows of your song
My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start,
now I'm ready to start
My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start
You're not sure you open the door and step out into the dark,
now I'm ready...

My backpacking bud was reading an article about them in Rolling Stone. Wondering if I might recognize a song, I asked him to sing me a song. He wouldn't, despite my begging and offering chocolate and being a nuisance! But later he sent me a video of a live performance of this song. That was my start. Loved them. [ Reply ]

ottovonb Jun 08, 2012 - 10:36	Abba without the attractive melodies. The sound of Arcade Fire on the office speaker system illicits immediate pleading to change the station from every corner - fast, fast, fast. People begging to turn it off. Honestly, pound, pound, pound, pound, pound behind a man with no vocal talent whatsoever. Their popularity mystifies me. I've never met anyone who likes them - never. [ Reply ]
