The Imperatives Lyrics
when we can't begin
unless it's with an argument
we're losing out on
love for the sake of it
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monastery
throw away the imperatives
and make our pockets empty
'cause I'm feeling bankrupt
and I'm losing speed
and I don't wanna hold on
to anything
when I misbehaved
to get what I wanted
was that wrong when what I wanted was
love and affection
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monastery
throw away the imperatives
and make our pockets empty
'cause I'm feeling bankrupt
and I'm losing speed
and I don't wanna hold on
to anything
(x2)
let's get out
(x4)
I was thinking we could go and live
I was thinking we could go and live
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monestary
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monestary
let's get out
(x4)
'cause I'm feeling bankrupt
and I'm losing speed
and I don't wanna hold on
to anything
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monestary
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monestary
unless it's with an argument
we're losing out on
love for the sake of it
in a monastery
throw away the imperatives
and make our pockets empty
and I'm losing speed
and I don't wanna hold on
to anything
to get what I wanted
was that wrong when what I wanted was
love and affection
in a monastery
throw away the imperatives
and make our pockets empty
and I'm losing speed
and I don't wanna hold on
to anything
(x2)
(x4)
I was thinking we could go and live
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monestary
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monestary
(x4)
and I'm losing speed
and I don't wanna hold on
to anything
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monestary
I was thinking we could go and live
in a monestary

i fucking love this song no comments? boo.
I've got to admit--this is the sole Rainer Maria song I don't like. I feel bad saying that. It's like I'm obligated to like all of their music. It just irritates me that they made this one shoddy song.
I do like this song. I particularly like the use of "imperatives" from a linguistic point of view :) I think everyone has felt like this at some point -- throwing away the imperatives and making our pockets empty!
