"The Ascent Of Stan" lyrics
"The Ascent Of Stan"
Pangs of silence
From the room upstairs
How's the view there?
Do you read what they're saying about you?
That you're no fun
Since the war was won
In fact, you have become
All of the things you've always run from
The ascent of Stan
Textbook hippie man
Get rest while you can
So where'd the years go?
All the time we had?
Being poor was not such a drag in hindsight
And you wonder why your father was so resigned
Now you don't wonder any more
The ascent of Stan
Textbook hippie man
Textbook hippie man
Get rest while you can
Stan, once you wanted revolution
Stan, now you're the institution
Stan, how's it feel to be the man?
It's no fun to be the man
And now, watch it all go down
The ascent of Stan
Textbook hippie man
Stan
Textbook hippie man
Get rest while you can
Stan, once you wanted revolution
Stan, now you're the institution
Stan, how's it feel to be the man?
It's no fun to be the man

Band Of Horses - "The Funeral" I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you're wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you all wrong, we won
Really too late to call so we wait for
Morning to wake...
Colin Hay - "Waiting For My Real Life To Begin" Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down down down, on me
And you say, be still my love
Open up...
Eels - "Fresh Feeling" You don't have a clue
What it is like to be next to you
I'm here to tell you
That it is good, that it is true
Birds singing a song
Old paint is peeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling
