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
Couldn't you take the second bus home?
Couldn't you just take me with you?
Birmingham has gone to motors
Take me home
Keep your eyes on the road

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 just love everything about this song. "couldnt you take the second bus home, couldnt you just take me with you"dododo.. yes i love this song
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.
the best song! thanks to tpr.
Tim Kinsella wasnt in American Football or Owen, his brother Mike was.
@awad yep, Tim Kinsella was in Cap' Jazz (together with his brother Mike as well as Davey van Bohlen from Promise Ring) and Joan of Arc

yeah I kinda screwed that up, but he still did a great job on it, I often get my kinsellas confused.
do you know any place where i can get mike kinsellas acoustic version? thats gotta be awesome.
if you check every so often, you can find a TPR fan on ares/limewire/bearshare etc. that has a lot shared.
how about posters? i don't suppose they sold posters at their old shows, hmm?
