"The Avant Garde" lyrics
David Byrne & Ghost Train Orchestra Lyrics
"The Avant Garde"
I saw a woman in a leotard
Now I'm not sure how I feel
About the avant garde
Now I like the idea their politics too
But I'm not really sure
If that means that it's good
I wanna go there, yeah yeah
I wanna go there
And when we go there you will observe
It's a passionate life, it's a head of a curve
It's deceptively weighty, profoundly absurd
Well, it's whatever fits
It's the avant garde
And it doesn't mean shit
It's the avant garde
Should I be more like the avant garde?
Would it be easy?
Or would it be hard?
For a life that's exciting
If one wants to go far
There's only one place
That's the avant garde
I wanna go there
I wanna go there
I'll take you with me
The things that we'll see
Just look around you will observe
It's a passionate life, it's a head of a curve
It's deceptively weighty, profoundly absurd
Now, it's whatever fits
It's the avant garde
And it doesn't mean shit
It's the avant garde
I wanna go there
I wanna go there
And when we go there you will observe
It's a passionate life, it's a head of a curve
It's deceptively weighty, profoundly absurd
Well, it's whatever fits
It's the avant garde
And it doesn't mean shit
It's the avant garde
And it doesn't mean shit
It's the avant garde

Kate Bush - "King Of The Mountain" Could you see the aisles of women?
Could you see them screaming and weeping?
Could you see the storm rising?
Could you see the guy who was driving?
Could you climb higher and higher?
Could you climb...
Belle & Sebastian - "Ease Your Feet In The Sea" Ease you're feet off in the sea
My darling it's the place to be
Take your shoes off curl your toes
And I will frame this moment in time
Troubles come and troubles go
The trouble that we've come...
Neko Case - "Deep Red Bells" He led you to this hiding place
His lightening threats spun silver tongues
The red bells beckon you to ride
A handprint on the driver's side
It looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being...
Laura Veirs - "To The Country" Don't recognise my face
Everybody knows your game
Feel like I'm running in place
Everything's changed, everything's changed
I'm gonna move to the country
She's gonna move
So I can see the stars...
Sparks - "Angst In My Pants" I hope it doesn't show
It'll go 'way
It's just a passing phase
It'll go 'way
You can dress nautical
Learn to tie knots
Take lots of Dramamine
Out on your yacht
But when you're all alone
And nothing...
