Somerville - Pernice Brothers/DR
Written by:Joe Pernice
I'm sick of the cynical
I'm sick of the fashion show
The vapid and overblown someone someone tells me I ought to know
I wouldn't stay around if the money let me linger on
'Til the end of December
And waste another year like a minute trying to forget cause I remember my home
I left there with bitter words
I'll go back with cap in hand and launder the bed
I made hurtful things said and pick up where I began
The penny lost its shine
Dirty ankles on the promenade in rubber flip-flop sandals
Give me back the rags the neurotic and the sweet lament cause I can't handle it
I'm gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to somerville
Show her around the neighborhood re-case the place and settle down
Gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to somerville
Don't care if she's pretty as we leave Suck City
I wouldn't stay around if the money let me linger on
'Til the end of December
And waste another year like a minute trying to forget cause I remember my home
I'm gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to somerville
Show her around the neighborhood re-case the place and settle down
Gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to somerville
Don't care if she's pretty as we leave Suck City
I'm gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to somerville
Show her around the neighborhood re-case the place and settle down
Gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to somerville
Don't care if she's pretty as we leave Suck City
