Fountains of Wayne - Amity Gardens lyrics

Angel broke her wing oh, you poor thing
The hum of the motor gave way to
The tick tick ticking of the clock
And the rattle of springs
The Buick's in the drive
It's good to be alive

And if you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go home
Wouldn't want to go
If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go
To Amity Gardens again

It isn't very much, but for now it's home
A room in the shadow of a funny-looking man
On the phone to the bank about a default loan
I thank you very much
Ta ta we'll be in touch

And if you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go home
Wouldn't want to go
If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go
To Amity Gardens again

Where you came from and act like you tried
Cause somethings are better kept
Deep down inside but you're not driving
You're along for the ride
Just checking out the scene
And taking in the green
