The New Pornographers - Myriad Harbour lyrics

I took a plane, I took a train
(Ah, who cares
You always end up in the city)
I said to Carl, "Look up for once"
(See just how the sun sets in the sky)
I said to John, "Do you think the girls here
(Ever wonder how they got so pretty?)
Oh, well I do!"

Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour

All the boys
With their home made microphones
(Have very interesting sounds)
All the girls falling to ruin
Dropping out of school
Breakin' daddy's heart (Just to hang around)
I walked into the local record store and
Asked for an American music anthology


It sounds fun
They tore off my skirt and stuck
It on the walls of PS1

I took a plane, I took a train
(Ah, who cares
You always end up in the city)
Stranded at Bleecker and Broadway
Looking for something to do
Someone somewhere asked me
"Is there anything in particular I
Can help you with?"
(All I ever wanted help with was you)

Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour
Look out upon the myriad harbour
