Learn To Keep Your Mouth Shut, Owen Pallett Lyrics

All that she wants is a man with a tan
A mashing pot and matching pan
A minivan
As high an income as she can
Who are you to judge?

I wish this song was longer. The strings at the end are just absolutely beautiful.

Considering the (hilarious) title, I'd say this is just about Owen spouting off about some shallow, materialistic woman and the resulting verbal backlash from a friend of said woman. He regrets saying anything, not because he was wrong, but because he didn't appreciate the lecture. Simple... I think.

I actually think this is the weakest song on the album.

Is the singer Regine from Arcade Fire? It sounds kind of like her.

Ya, it's Regine, it was recorded when he was still with AF

Are you sure? I really doubt it, this voice sounds nothing like Regine's voice.
