Kate Lyrics
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather around to sing the guitar
Oh I, have you got nothing to say
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
So the roses can see
Oh I, have you got nothing to say
And you can see the daisies
In her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I want to be Kate
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I need, she's everything I'm not
Oh I
Have you got nothing to say
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks and she breathes
I want to be Kate
She hands out the
Bhagaved Gita
I see her around every couple days
I want to meet her so that
I can say, hey Kate
I think this is about Ben's wife, because in the liner notes of "Whatever and Ever Amen" it thanks someone named Kate Folds.
I've also heard that Ben wrote this on a bet that he couldn't write a song with a one-syllable chorus.
I love this song because of the Rosemary and Cameron mention. I go to UNC, as Ben did, and these are references to the two streets that border parallel to the main drag, Franklin Street, in Chapel Hill. I live on one and walk daily down the other, and I like to imagine Kate standing on the corner of campus just hanging out!
This song is funny--it puts me in a good mood. I like the piano part too.
This song always reminds me of a girl I met in college named Kate. She always told me "jump out of a plane you might learn something." Don't worry Kate I will. She skydives btw.
this is one of my favorites...my boyfriend told me about it a while back..i love it cuz it's so cute and puts me in such a good mood!
Oh hell, this song is so incredibly cute. How can you listen to this and not feel happy? My favorite lyrics are: She never gets wet She smiles and it's a rainbow And she speaks and she breathes I wanna be Kate
She smiles and it's a RAINBOW. Everyone's gotta have a Kate of their own sometime. Crushes are fun.
some cool little references in this song....great tune as well.....i thought of this song when i was at warped tour and i saw these guys handing out the Bhagaved Gita...there the ones with the funny hair do...that are typically at the airport with flowers. My friend got a book from them and gave them a donation...it was cool
My names Kate the song kinda reminds me of how i am except i dont smoke pot or wear the same thing everyday i hope when i smile its liek a rainbow too lol but i play guitar and drums oh yea i dotn know what the Bhagaved Gita is either but other wise i am your perfect Kate ;)
i have a friend named kate and we always sing this song together. my favorite line is "everyday she wears the same thing, i think she smokes pot". great.
