Magnolia Melancholia |
Nice to meet you, boy, I know your mama knows |
I fell in love with her seven-thousand summers ago |
I was a runner kid, a too-much, too-heartily kid |
Your mama helped me out |
And now I’m here to pay the due back, Joe |
Nice to meet you, boy, I knew your mama’s song |
I knew how she would move along to every rhythm |
I know she’ll best for you, she wants to get the rest of you |
They’re here to take care of you |
Whatever you need to come home through |
Sad, juiced up, loose cannon fodder |
We used to be happily savagery |
Fell rapidly into love telepathy |
I must admit, before I slipped, your mother knew the best of me |
Mad, clued up, we were not lovers |
Band of brother, sister, Easy Company |
Didn’t tell me she was sick until she wrote to me |
Then out of the blue, the years we knew |
They all come flooding back to me |
Magnolia melancholic love |
Magnolia melancholia |
Magnolia melancholic love |
Magnolia melancholia |
Like how she smiled and how I cried and how I finally fell |
Like how I lied and how we died inside the Chelsea hotel |
Like when she told me I had never had a broken heart |
Well, I was mad, I said a couple of things I shouldn’t have |
We didn’t talk for years, it’s clear to me I was ostracised |
She threw me out her heart, her head |
Her soul, her whole damn life |
Sitting on the other side of London, penance for shit |
I guess this all just hurt too much for her to deal with it |
Nice to meet you, boy, I know your mama knows |
I fell in love with her seven-thousand summers ago |
I was a runner kid, a too-much, too-heartily kid |
Your mama helped me out |
And now I’m here to pay the due back, Joe |
Nice to meet you, boy, I knew your mama’s song |
I knew how she would move along to every rhythm |
I know she’ll best for you, she wants to get the rest of you |
They’re here to take care of you |
Whatever you need to come home through |
This is just a story I tell |
She’s alive and well |
Somewhere in the city swell |
I guess I just miss my friend |
As for the broken heart |
It breaks every time I start |
I guess I just miss my friend |
As for the broken heart |
It breaks every time I start |
I guess I just miss my friend |
As for the broken heart |
It breaks every time I start |
