1901 (Phoenix cover) Lyrics
Counting all different ideas driftin' away
Past and present they don't matter, not if you just sort it out
Watch her moving in elliptical pattern
Think it's not what you say, what you say is way too complicated
For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out
It's twenty seconds 'til the last call
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
By now, you know it's easy
Like we did it all summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Girlfriend, oh, your girlfriend's drifting away
Past and present, 1855, 1901
Watch them build up a material tower
Think it's not gonna stay, anyway, think it's overrated
For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out
It's twenty seconds to the last call
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Lie down, you know it's easy
Like we did it two summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Past and present they don't matter, not if you just sort it out
Watch her moving in elliptical pattern
Think it's not what you say, what you say is way too complicated
For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
By now, you know it's easy
Like we did it all summer long
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Past and present, 1855, 1901
Watch them build up a material tower
Think it's not gonna stay, anyway, think it's overrated
For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Lie down, you know it's easy
Like we did it two summer long
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

This song is really amazing, I can't believe no one has commented on it. Birdy is truly an amazing singer and she has one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
Birdy's cover is incredible, no doubt. However, this song is more well known for its rendition by Phoenix. There are plenty of comments there.

I do enjoy listening to this song but i really don't understand a word of it...i wonder if anybody would explain the whole thing for me....:(
I think this song is about a relationship in which the two people are both sort of aware that it isn't working, but neither want to separate. So there isn't any emotion in the relationship and it's based upon sex. In the first paragraph, it's talking about the two people arguing (from a man's point of view). The woman is talking about what's wrong and he's thinking that it isn't as complicated as what she's saying. We're just not supposed to be together. "Twenty seconds 'til the last call", this relationship is going to end soon."Lie down, you know it's easy", they solve everything with sex, not really resolving anything. "Like we did throughout the summer long." We've done this all summer, this is how our relationship has been for an entire season.
