Fountains of Wayne - Cold Comfort Flowers lyrics
[Fountains of Wayne - Cold Comfort Flowers lyrics]
You will remember the pap on the radio
Big blue policeman says stay where you are
Surrender your Chinese arms
Oh-h-ho
Rock show Romeo, black and white shoes
Strawberry haircut, in fist-pumping prime
Scrape off the dross
And keep what you can use
And leave the weaker ones behind
Oh-h-ho
They step outside to step out slow
And they try to find a
Hole they can't outgrow
They evolve in time wine finely on the vine
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
An unwelcome fate may ferry all away
But cold comfort flowers
Will bloom and decay
Pink clouds, summer sorrow, oceanside swells
If you don't feel pretty with
Your face in the tide
Well, file your complaint in weary detail
And tell the little people you tried
Oh-h-ho
They step outside to step out slow
In vain trying to find a
Hole they can't outgrow
They evolve in time wine finely on the vine
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
An unwelcome fate may ferry all away
But cold comfort flowers
Will blossom and fade
They evolve in time wine finely on the vine
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
An unwelcome fate may ferry all away
But cold comfort flowers
Will bloom and decay
They evolve in time wine finely on the vine
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
An unwelcome fate may ferry all away
But cold comfort flowers
Will bloom and decay
