My Favorite Things Lyrics
Champagne bubbled up through the neck of the bottle,
And sweet sounds came out through the radio.
It was John Coltrane.
God damn it, I love John Coltrane!
You danced across the living room floor,
And you kissed me once and then you kissed me some more.
You had your arms wrapped around my neck and it felt real fine,
And then your ankle knocked up against mine.
And resonating in my bones
Was the precise crisp drumming of Mr. Elvin Jones.
God damn it, I love John Coltrane!
And sweet sounds came out through the radio.
It was John Coltrane.
God damn it, I love John Coltrane!
And you kissed me once and then you kissed me some more.
You had your arms wrapped around my neck and it felt real fine,
And then your ankle knocked up against mine.
And resonating in my bones
Was the precise crisp drumming of Mr. Elvin Jones.
God damn it, I love John Coltrane!

Looks like these lyrics got nicked from here: http://www.themountaingoats.net/lyrics/extras_lyr.html
Great song about a hipster who is too into his John Coltrane to appreciate the moment and focus his attention on his partner. I hate to admit it, I have been this guy many times, including when listening to the Mountain Goats.
This seems like a somewhat-rare TMG song that is completely blissful (a lot of his 'happy' songs have sad under-skins). The singer is in love and because of this, he loves everything around him.
