A Birthday Present Lyrics
Everybody thinks it's something real
Right until the devil drinks it
O li o
Everything's fate and spinning wheels
Everybody wants their princes
No sense in waiting for a swift completion to come
That invitation is all I'm waiting on
The tedious thoughts of the head of state
Are seldom ever worth revealing
O li o
Indelible stains on the human race
You hideous fakes and murderers!
No sense in waiting for a swift completion to come
That invitation is all I'm waiting on
Everybody thinks the end in near
How am I to tell the difference?
O li o
Wish everybody a happy new year
There are varying results predicted
No sense in waiting for a swift completion to come
That invitation is all I'm waiting on
Right until the devil drinks it
O li o
Everything's fate and spinning wheels
Everybody wants their princes
That invitation is all I'm waiting on
Are seldom ever worth revealing
O li o
Indelible stains on the human race
You hideous fakes and murderers!
That invitation is all I'm waiting on
How am I to tell the difference?
O li o
Wish everybody a happy new year
There are varying results predicted
That invitation is all I'm waiting on

This song is absolutely gorgeous. The Veils are my new favourite band.
I guess its an anti bush song, and how nuclear war aint far off:
The tedious thoughts of the head of state Are seldom ever worth revealing O li o Indelible stains on the human race You hideous fakes and murderers!
Way cool feeling in this song. It's laid back yet tense and a little bit depressing tinged. I think this song is about how everyone's so paranoid now with the war going on, the bad economy, gas prices, etc, and just to calm down about it. Gets catchier the more you listen to it. CRIMINALLY underrated band. It's a shame.
i think its a more general message of living your life one day at a time because you never quite know when it'll all be over. great song
