Glitter & Twang Lyrics
She grew up just north of privileged
Where pink and perfect were sold
A cheap guitar and a shooting star
In Pensacola we watched as she drew wings of gold
She'll take you east out of San Bernardino
Straight up to 129
A simple dare and a secret square
In the casino we laughed as nightfall lit up the sky
Well, don't you see?
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
Well, don't you see?
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
For your heart
She sings the song that she wrote me
I've got it stuck in my head
Broadway and Main and a ticket to Spain
She quotes the pillow queen and makes the trundle bed
She said she'd like to see Dale Dauntless
And the Double-D ranch
A steeplechase and a lipstick trace
Dressed up like honeybees and we're taking a chance
Well, don't you see?
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
Well, don't you see?
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
For your heart
There are ten plagues of Egypt
Nine planets that circle the sun, we've got
Eight great ways to get the girl you want
Seven virtues, minus the one, there are
Six ways to lose your wallet
Five pillars of Islam
Four Pavement songs that are kind of long
Three laws of motion, and then there's
Two - me and you
And there's just
One way we can solve this
Try and agree on the fifteen decisive battles of the world
Fancy soap in the soap dish
Well, don't you see?
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
Well, don't you see?
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
For your heart
Where pink and perfect were sold
A cheap guitar and a shooting star
In Pensacola we watched as she drew wings of gold
Straight up to 129
A simple dare and a secret square
In the casino we laughed as nightfall lit up the sky
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
For your heart
I've got it stuck in my head
Broadway and Main and a ticket to Spain
She quotes the pillow queen and makes the trundle bed
And the Double-D ranch
A steeplechase and a lipstick trace
Dressed up like honeybees and we're taking a chance
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
For your heart
Nine planets that circle the sun, we've got
Eight great ways to get the girl you want
Seven virtues, minus the one, there are
Six ways to lose your wallet
Five pillars of Islam
Four Pavement songs that are kind of long
Three laws of motion, and then there's
Two - me and you
And there's just
One way we can solve this
Try and agree on the fifteen decisive battles of the world
Fancy soap in the soap dish
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
Glitter and twang
She's out to
Glitter and twang for your heart
For your heart

I can't help but love the countodwn in this song, I always sing along in the car. Anybody else catch how self-referential #8 is?
haha 8 great ways
"some of this stuff i think is a reference to indiepop stuff"
What's "ten plagues of Egypt"? A Band? (STOP! I'm kidding!)
This song is so beautifully restrained. I like the countdown song because it's lyrically clunky rather than being over polished and too clever. The countdown reminds me of "Multiplication/Schoolhouse Rock", especially when they sing "Two" and the line "Try and agree on the fifteen decisive battles of the world..."
Dang this song is addictively sweet...I keep hittin' replay.
some of this stuff i think is a reference to indiepop stuff (not really a stretch for tullycraft). "ticket to spain" is a cub song, secret square is a side project of the drummer from apples in stereo, etc. and "pensacola: wings of gold" is an old cheesy tv show.
