Spoon - The Agony of Laffitte lyrics
[Spoon - The Agony of Laffitte lyrics]
All I ever asked of you is a copy of
Garage Days and to tell me the truth
There is no one watching
You exit Ventura Highway
It's like I knew two of you, man
The one before and after we shook hands
Taking the calls but in all
Forgetting what's been said
And after dark in a cab in LA
Forget about the meter man
These are salad days
Comes on the radio comes on
And what's being said
Is you're no better than Sylvia
No better than Sylvia no better than Sylvia
(Where you are, where you've been)
No better than Sylvia no better than Sylvia
(Where you are, where you've been
Where you are, where you've been
And where you've gone, oh no)
Here's a mark, he's a mark on the page
Dishing out the wisdom of this reflexive age
Dotting the eyes with an eye
For defining what you were
So when you do that line tonight
Remember that it came at a steep price
And keep telling yourself there's more
To you than her
But, you're no better than Sylvia
No better than Sylvia (Where you've been)
No better than Sylvia no better than Sylvia
(Where you are and where you've been)
No better than Sylvia
(And where you've gone, where you've
Been and where you've gone, oh no)
Garage Days and to tell me the truth
There is no one watching
You exit Ventura Highway
It's like I knew two of you, man
The one before and after we shook hands
Taking the calls but in all
Forgetting what's been said
And after dark in a cab in LA
Forget about the meter man
These are salad days
Comes on the radio comes on
And what's being said
Is you're no better than Sylvia
No better than Sylvia no better than Sylvia
(Where you are, where you've been)
No better than Sylvia no better than Sylvia
(Where you are, where you've been
Where you are, where you've been
And where you've gone, oh no)
Here's a mark, he's a mark on the page
Dishing out the wisdom of this reflexive age
Dotting the eyes with an eye
For defining what you were
So when you do that line tonight
Remember that it came at a steep price
And keep telling yourself there's more
To you than her
But, you're no better than Sylvia
No better than Sylvia (Where you've been)
No better than Sylvia no better than Sylvia
(Where you are and where you've been)
No better than Sylvia
(And where you've gone, where you've
Been and where you've gone, oh no)
