Camera Talk Lyrics
We're running through the aisles
Of the churches still in style
Does this city have a curfew?
Don't you know it's good to see you too
The riders on the Champs-Élysées
We are the tourists in the cafes
We drank our wine along the river
Not believing where we were at all
It's alright, the camera's talking
Oh
And even though I can't be sure
Memory tells me that these times are worth working for
The buffalo in Catalina
The colored stones and troop leaders
The voices of the canopy singers
Ensured that we wouldn't sleep for long
I knew this would be the part
My plane's arrival catches me off guard
We'll all be leaving with a broken heart
Wallets empty and we're back at start
It's alright, the camera is talking
Oh
And even though i can't be sure
Memory tells me that these times are worth working for
The cistern is not even full
The cistern is not e-the cistern is not even full
Of the churches still in style
Does this city have a curfew?
Don't you know it's good to see you too
We are the tourists in the cafes
We drank our wine along the river
Not believing where we were at all
Oh
And even though I can't be sure
Memory tells me that these times are worth working for
The colored stones and troop leaders
The voices of the canopy singers
Ensured that we wouldn't sleep for long
My plane's arrival catches me off guard
We'll all be leaving with a broken heart
Wallets empty and we're back at start
Oh
And even though i can't be sure
Memory tells me that these times are worth working for
The cistern is not e-the cistern is not even full

Seems to me that they're talking about traveling... or if they're not, it sums up pretty well my feelings towards travelling... especially this part:
"and even though i can't be sure memory tells me that these times are worth working for"
I pile money for a while..then leave for a couple of weeks and I ask myself that exact question... couldn't have said it better...and in the end, you always think you have to come back too soon anyway: (my plane's arrival catches me off guard / we'll all be leaving with a broken heart)
Anyway, no matter what it's about, it's an awesome song! Local Natives are great!
lol, the sister is naughty. I bet they were just repeating "the cistern is not even full" but cutting it short so it's only "the cistern is not e-" But keep it, the sister is naughty is funny.
yeah it's "the sister is naughty." it says so in the booklet.
The camera's talking... This song is simply about looking back at your travels and remembering everything you've done. It's reminiscing.
I think its
"The buffalo ON Catalina"
like the island
love this
