Vampire Weekend – Diplomat's Son Lyrics 14 years ago
Sorry for the double post, but here are the Rolling Stone excerpts that scottfer mentioned:

(…) Batmanglij is also gay, a fact he’s never really discussed publicly. His friends have knows since college, but he didn’t come out to his parents until about two years ago. (Asked how they handled the news, he laughs: “My dad went to Brtisish boarding school. You don’t get much gayer than that.”) A self-described homebody, he was in a pretty serious relationship last winter, but they split up a few weeks into the recording of the album. “I tried everything to have him back,” Batmanglij says. “He broke my heart”.
(…) Take “Diplomat’s Son”, which is inspired by that boarding-school story Koenig wrote. The original is an angry parable of class tension and resentment that culminates in a bloody beat-down on a soccer field. Batmanglij took it and made it a love story. “After you leave college, the world opens up,” Koenig says. “For this record, I wanted there to be songs that everybody could understand.” (…)

Sweet!!

These lyrics are all wrong. Please change it to jbissell2's.

That night I smoked a joint with my best friend / We found ourselves in bed, when I woke up he was gone

Lol, Ezra got high and went to bed with a diplomat's son. Why not. I like the idea.
