(Strawberry Ann) Switzerland Lyrics
Strawberry Ann Switzerland Straddles the line Between his and mine
We'll keep honor We'll keep on her With basically Tactical signs of life
In burning a candle We'll burn our hands off For your side If we're so clever If we're so ever wanting leverage Then how come I'm crying Eleven feet from your bedside Let me inside
You can always come over And I can always miss you all over You can always come over And I can always kiss you all over
What happened late tonight Our eyes in the moonlight With our lies
So give me a chance and I Promise I'll make it all Make it all Alright
Give me a chance and I Promise we'll make it all Make it all Worthwhile
Give me a chance and I Promise I can make you Smile
Did I make you smile?
And is there peace tonight Cause if everythings a fight Then everything is nothing But nothing's important But nothing's important But nothing Is important
You can always come over And I can always miss you
Wow, no comments. i think this is one of braid's best songs and i love the quick changes in mood and intensity. this song is well written and i love the way bob writes the words to fit the music, not the other way around. this one just seems to me to be about people needing to lighten up and that stupid fights between friends are pointless, i dunno. oh well, great song. PEace
Sounds to me like there's a girl that's having trouble chosing between two guys (she's being neutral, hence her title of 'Switzerland'), and Rob is trying to explain the situation. 'We'll burn our hands off for your side' is an explaination of how far the guys would go for the girl. My personal favorite part of the song is 'If we're so everwanting leverage, then why am I crying eleven feet from your bedside' Great song, all in all, one of the more easily decipherable ones... ...God I miss braid.
braid forever!! they'll never die!!! my car is named after this song. love the woody allen lines in the background. BOBBA BANANA IS MY LYRICAL HERO
this song is so beautiful, I can't get over it.
i'd have to agree with invader zym's take on the song. this song has to be one of my favorites from braid. i especially love the line, "you can always come over and i can always miss you all over"
i think this is the sexiest braid song ever. not a nerdy sort of sexy, i mean how bob kinda purrs out the "give me a chance....did i make you smile" part. http://www.angelfire.com/indie/braid
this song definatley has the coolest guitar parts, ever,
I want to know what Chris is yelling at the very end of the song... "If I asked you, I wish you would stay" maybe???
close, but I'm pretty sure Chris says "If I asked you, would you stay?" I wanna know where that part that sounds like an old movie clip is from "...love letter." "It's beautiful...I'm just the wrong person."
