Mushaboom (Feist cover) Lyrics
Helping the kids out of their coats
But, wait, the babies haven't been born
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups
But in the meantime I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay
Old dirt road, knee deep snow
Watching the fire as we grow old
I got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done
How many acres, how much light?
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbors and tip my cap
On a little road, barely on the map
Old dirt road, knee deep snow
Watching the fire as we grow old
Old dirt road, rambling rose
Watching the fire as we grow
Well, I'm sold
But, wait, the babies haven't been born
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay
Watching the fire as we grow old
And make a home from a rented house
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbors and tip my cap
On a little road, barely on the map
Watching the fire as we grow old
Old dirt road, rambling rose
Watching the fire as we grow
Well, I'm sold

I can't believe no one has signed this yet...
This is a beautiful song, I absolutely adore it. However, I must admit that it was better as a Feist song. Conor's voice is amazing, but he doesn't quite pull this one off. Good, but not amazing.
brilliant
its interesting...
i do like conor's version but lets not give him too much credit now...we dont want him to get a big head.
...lol
I know he covered this and all, so we can't throw him tons of credit; but I definitely can see why he might have chose to sing it. It seems like something he'd write, with all the imagery and such.
^^
feist is awesome. and conor as well.
This song is good, but the postal service did a cover as well. Which is much better.
But nothing compares to the original.
I love the original.
But I gotta say I like this version more >_> Don't kill me!
Great great cover.
