Ten-You-Us
Andrew Bird
Beautiful songwriting off Andrew’s album ’Fitz And The Dizzyspells’ (2009). [Intro] [Verse] Tenuous at best was all he had to say when pressed about the rest of it the world that is From proto-Sanskrit Minoans to porto-centric Lisboans Greek Cypriots and and Hobis-hots who hang around in ports a lot uh-huh [Interlude] [Verse] But here’s where things start getting weird While chinless men will scratch their beards uh-huh Tool their minds to sharpened axes Brush up on the Uralic syntaxes [Pre-Chorus] Love of hate acts as an axis Love of hate acts as an axis oh First it wanes and then it waxes [Chorus] Ten you us ness less seven comes to three Them you us plus eleven Thank the heavens for their elasticity And that’s for those who live and die by astronomy [Interlude] [Verse] When Coprophagia was writ know when to stand know when to sit Can’t stand to stand can’t stand to sit and who would want to know this Click click click [Bridge] Who wants to look upon this Who wants to look upon this pra- -ay tell Who wants to look upon this Who wants to look upon this pray tell [Chorus] Tenuousness less seven comes to three Them you us plus eleven Comes just shy of infinity And that’s for those who live and die for numerology
