Had a northern lad
Not exactly happy
We move like the sun, said got who painted that
first he low my axe, and
how his knees could've been
thought we'd been okay
me and mile molasses
but I feel something is written wrong
but lay feel this kick's still dumb
Had a northern lad
Well not exactly had
He moved like the sunset god who painted that
First he loved my accent
How his knees could bend
I thought we'd be okay
Me and my molasses
but I feel something is wrong
but I feel this cake just isn't done
He said, 'You've gone to far when pianos. Try to be guitars.'
I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars.
I guess it'd go too far when pianos tried to be guitars
I guess you go to far when pianos try to be guitars
I loved the secret places,
but I can't go anymore
I loved his secret places,
but I can't go anymore
Light your cigarette please, yes.
I loved his secret places.
Well not exactly hip.
Well not exactly had.
When you're only wed because of a ring
When you're only wet because of the rain
You change like Cherokee
You change like sugarcane
You change like JFK
You change like sugarcane
You change like s*** can.
You change like sugar cane.
You change like s*** can
Said my northern lad.
You change like sugar cane
Says my northern lad.
You change like s**t cakes
You change like sugarcane
You change like sh*t can, says my northern lad
You change like sugar cane, says my northern lad
You change like she came
You change like sugar cane
You change like sheep can.
You change like sugar cane.
You taste like chicken
You change like sugar cane
