"Capitol City" lyrics
"Capitol City"
Capitol city, skyline photo
Skyscrapers shine, the sun's so
Low in the sky
Secretaries at the hot dog vendors
Cabs honk at the bicycle messengers
Rolling by
I can't call with a subway token
Anyway, the phones are all broken
I wish you were here
Better yet I wish I was there with you
You wouldn't like it here
You should stay right there
Breathing that country air
You wouldn't like it here
Capitol towers radiate a steam vent
Scream along with the clarinets and arguments
Echo down the hall
I can't sleep, I can't wake up
Shaking up, maybe we should break up
I wish you were here
Better yet I wish I was there with you
You wouldn't like it here
You should stay right there
Breathing that country air
You wouldn't like it here
Capitol city, skyline photo
Picture postcards, sad and lonesome
Low in the sky
I can't smile when my heart's still broken
Far away, in love and unspoken
I wish you were here
Or I was there with you

The Magnetic Fields - "California Girls" See them on their big bright screen
Tan and blonde and seventeen
Eating nonfood keeps them mean
But they're young forever
If they must grow up, they marry dukes and earls
I hate California girls...
Dawes - "When My Time Comes" There were moments of dreams
I was offered to save.
I lived less like a workhorse,
more like a slave.
I thought that one quick moment
that was noble or brave
would be worth the most of my life.

Big Star - "The Ballad Of El Goodo" Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God
