A Picture Postcard Lyrics

Don't forget to kiss me if you're really going to leave
Couldn't you take the second bus home?
Couldn't you just take me with you?

If I put my hands to your stomach, or put my lips to your hand
Birmingham has gone to motors
Take me home
Keep your eyes on the road

And I'm convinced that you're from mars

The line "If I put my hands to your stomach, or put my lips to your hand" comes from Red House Painter's song titled, "Japanese to English". And the line "Keep your eyes on the road" comes from a song by Braid titled, "Interstate 57". So that explains the lyrical credit given in the liner notes to M. Kozelek and B. Nanna.

Tim Kinsella from American Football/Owen/ countless other bands did a really great acoustic cover of this song

This is my ABSOLUTE favorite TPR song ever. It always has been, and always will be. Hoe does music get any more EMO than this?

I don't think it does get more emo than this actually. This song rules, words and music run together in sad unattention seeking harmony.
