Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire - Wishing For Contentment lyrics
[Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire - Wishing For Contentment lyrics]
Wishing for contentment
Hoping for relentment
Venting my resentment on the happy few
Awaiting resolution
And dreams of retribution
Finding restitution's just another
Thing to do
You've got to keep yourself busy
Visit Aunt Lizzy just see how she's been
But when you're making a late run
Two judgemental matrons retort
See what I mean? A seeming reprobation
Perhaps it's my vocation
A nauseous elation comes to mind
But it fades so soon
Hoping for relentment
Venting my resentment on the happy few
Awaiting resolution
And dreams of retribution
Finding restitution's just another
Thing to do
You've got to keep yourself busy
Visit Aunt Lizzy just see how she's been
But when you're making a late run
Two judgemental matrons retort
See what I mean? A seeming reprobation
Perhaps it's my vocation
A nauseous elation comes to mind
But it fades so soon
