Tie Me Up With Jackets

Same goes for you: I like my meatballs in a dish
And I like other people, too.
As the saying goes, I'm pretty miffed.
But I'd love to see you in the nude...

With faux fur coats tied around your head,
Japanese children in your bed
And then she looked at me and said,
"I don't like Simple Kid."
Holding hands with Elouise,
Taking smoke breaks as you please,
You've got a lot of fancy toys
Christmas jumpers, lovely noise.

(Lovely noise) lovely noise
Lovely noise that makes you love me.
(Lovely noise) lovely noise
Lovely noise that makes you love me,
(Lovely noise) lovely noise
Lovely noise that makes you love me.
(Lovely noise) lovely noise
Lovely noise that makes you love me.

And I can't compete with all you talk about,
You're so informed.
Yet you talk just like a lout, you say
Yo La Tengo like you're selling perfume.
Like a brand new sound for modern man,
Invented by cartoons.

So tie me up with jackets,
And fumigate my room
It smells like socks and tastes like Apple Schnapps,
But you can live there too.
And we'll play
(Lovely noise) lovely noise
Lovely noise that makes you love me.
(Lovely noise) lovely noise
Lovely noise that makes you love me,
(Lovely noise) lovely noise
Lovely noise that makes you love me.
(Lovely noise) lovely noise
Lovely noise that makes you love me.
