Tiny Paintings Lyrics
Tonight the neon answers flare.
Occasionally we stop to stare past
tiny paintings painted where,
all the clouds were wrong.
With killer stares and sideways frowns,
in keeping with,
the universe all upsidedown,
twice twice twice.
And broken legs and arms in slings,
you cry secretly,
you won't wear my diamond rings
why why why?
A billion cares,
a thousand stings
we lie frequently.
choose the chapter where it starts
fights fights fights.
And millionaires have bought this town and changed everything.
I found you in the lost and found,
white white white!
Occasionally we stop to stare past
tiny paintings painted where,
all the clouds were wrong.
in keeping with,
the universe all upsidedown,
twice twice twice.
And broken legs and arms in slings,
you cry secretly,
you won't wear my diamond rings
why why why?
a thousand stings
we lie frequently.
choose the chapter where it starts
fights fights fights.
And millionaires have bought this town and changed everything.
I found you in the lost and found,
white white white!

coolest line in the entire song '' i found you in the lost and found, white! white! white!''
Love this song, but i think the second 'You cry secretly' is actually 'We lie frequently'
Ahh, one of my favourite Architecture in Helsinki songs. I just can't get over the passion in their voices when they say "fight fight fight" and "white white white." It makes me want to jump up and yell.
What I think it's about is that he proposed to a girl, and she agreed, but won't wear the engagement rings? And everything around them is changing because they know and disapprove of it.
Just a guess. ;D
I'm pretty sure in the fourth line it's "You cry sick of me."
it's def we lie frequently.
this is such an awesome song.
i always thought the last couple of lines were "i found you in a lost and found, why, why why?"
that resonates with me because of a relationship i had that started with a girl coming to town, and it just seemed both accidental and fateful at the same time that we met, because i fell in love with her and all.
but now, 3 years later, she's pretty much done all she could to ruin my life, so i'm listening to "small town witch" by sneaker pimps quite a lot as well.
God, this song is so beautiful! It's so sad. But the hurt, timid and staggered voice he uses in the second stanza is so perfect, but it gets more and more angry as the song progresses. IT's sad that all of the songs on this album are so short, as they are all amazing. Protero Hill is possibly the greatest interlude in all of music.
