lyrics
WAKAI TSUBAME
Drove the S class down the Costa Del Sol
Just a way to pass the time
Stopped for tapas at the Maro Beach Café
Another meal on her dime
So the lady’s nearly twice my age
But getting old is not a crime
She buys me the nicest shit
That’s why I just won’t quit
Let’s see how long this thing can last
And late at night after I work her hard
I use her credit card
Fair trade, no questions asked
Takes siesta with her usual pills
A double dose and she goes down
It gives me time to take a moment for myself
And have a late night on the town
Another daybreak at the discotech
Bottle service all around
I just found my first grey hair
I hope she doesn’t care
Oh but the years go by so fast
You know I’ve seen her eyeing younger boys
Shiny new toys
Strong, sturdy, and built to last
Wakai Tsubame, Wakai Tsubame
They all think I’ve got no sense of shame
That’s why they know me by a very special name
Wakai Tsubame, Wakai Tsubame
I don’t care what all the people say
That’s how it goes, you’ve got to pay to play the game
She believes it’s time to go our separate ways
There’s a line drawn in the sand
Pack my bags and grab a case of Chardonnay
I guess she found a younger man
Never should have put me in her will
A mistake to force my hand
I’ll commit a mortal sin
Just to get my chips cashed in
Sometimes breaking up is hard
And they say, ‘Who would kill a dinosaur?’
I know a dozen more
Pool boys, who’d go so far
Like grandpa's basement, scents and sounds from this album linger in the air long after it has finished playing. Mr. Knight's most accomplished and consistently satisfying record to date. Noah Wilson
