Lyrics Practical Amanda - Ben Folds, Nick Hornby

Practical Amanda

Who’d look at that dump and see a home?
Why not move in somewhere easily?
Urinals where bedrooms ought to be.
Who could be bothered, really?
You’re really good at all that stuff:
The nuts and bolts of living;
Good at blinds and kitchen tables.
I’ve got no time for dates and plans.
No, I’m too busy dreaming.
You’re the one with an attention span
You’re not the freewheeler.
Practical, Practical Amanda
Save one life
And made two others
Practical Amanda
Who’d look in here and see someone
That might be worth redeeming?
Head and Heart and Soul fucked up Who could be bothered, really?
I’ve got no time for dates and plans.
No, I’m too busy dreaming.
You’re the one with an attention span
Practical Amanda.
Practical, Practical Amanda
Save one life
And made two others
Practical Amanda
