Q&A
Hangover Days Lyrics
<i>feat. Emily Haines</i>
It was in your basement apartment
with all of its earth and sea
making love on the carpet
under the light of the tv
outside the sour moon minstrels
shook their dark tambourines
the morning came in sinister
well window light menacing
with clouds up above and clouds down below
killing time but it won't stand still
it won't stand still
i told you i'll never make a promise
a promise i can keep
I thanked you for being honest
i told you don't pull that shit on me
these are the hangover days
of frosted glass and metallic gleam
all these new non-places
they erase your memory
we try so hard, we try so hard
we try so hard to love
it was underneath London bridge
I finally realized what you mean
meanwhile all of fashion's latest
were nipping at the heels of history
I tried to send you a postcard
but all you could write were apologies
so out the Columbia hotel window
I threw my heart into the streets
with stars up above and stars down below
killing time but it won't stand still, it won't stand still
we try so hard, we try so hard
we try so hard to love
with all of its earth and sea
making love on the carpet
under the light of the tv
shook their dark tambourines
the morning came in sinister
well window light menacing
killing time but it won't stand still
it won't stand still
a promise i can keep
I thanked you for being honest
i told you don't pull that shit on me
of frosted glass and metallic gleam
all these new non-places
they erase your memory
we try so hard to love
I finally realized what you mean
meanwhile all of fashion's latest
were nipping at the heels of history
but all you could write were apologies
so out the Columbia hotel window
I threw my heart into the streets
killing time but it won't stand still, it won't stand still
we try so hard to love

I love Jason Collett. I saw him open for Feist and he was just so passionate. This song's incredible.
I love this song. It's so cute. I love this line: 'making love on the carpet under the light of the tv' hilarious. just great.
