Old Fools Lyrics
Old fools, dancing
Old fools who believe
That they can dance and sing
And fall in love
after all: love?
Old wines, old shoes
Old lines who'd have thought
they would ever reuse
like, I love you
Surprise! I love you
Flowers, long drive
Old fools, new lives
Old fools, dancing
Old rules take the backseat to
new romancing
Long drives, flowers
Old fools, new lovers.
Old fools who believe
That they can dance and sing
And fall in love
after all: love?
Old lines who'd have thought
they would ever reuse
like, I love you
Surprise! I love you
Old fools, new lives
Old rules take the backseat to
new romancing
Long drives, flowers
Old fools, new lovers.

this was the 1st song i listened from distortion. it made me happy to know that stephin wouldn't disappoint me, this record sounds very much magnetic fields with it's power to shake me to the core like no other band.
Old wines, old shoes Old lines who'd have thought they would ever reuse...
Well Merritt's only 40 something but he seems to know what's in store should you be foolish enough to keep looking for love
i like how the slow stuttering rhythm reinforces the image of "old fools" not realizing they aren't really able to dance anymore (at least, not without providing inadvertent amusement and/or a target of disdain, for those still young)
I think this is a song about someone who sees their lover get back to their significant other and be in despair.
