Phoenix - 1901 (Lyrics)

Phoenix- 1901 (Lyrics) From the album Wolfgang Amadeus. The song is about how Paris was better in 1901 than it is today, and the song is basically a fantasy.

Lyrics-
Counting all different ideas drifting away
Past and present they don't matter
Now the future's sorted out
Watch her moving in elliptical patterns
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 till the last call
You're going hey hey hey hey hey hey
Lie down you know it's easy
Like we did it over summer long

And I'll be anything you ask and more
You're going hey hey 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 is drifting away
Past and present 1855 -1901
Watch them built up a meteor 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 till the last call
You're going hey hey hey hey hey hey
Lie down you know it's easy
Like we did it over summer long

And I'll be anything you ask and more
You're going hey hey 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

Go to the official Phoenix website for the official lyrics, that's exactly what i copy pasted into the description :)

But i might disagree with the interpretation of the song, i believe it has to do with the art exhibition of 1901, as well as the exhibition in 1855 that paris held to top the English's exhibition in 1851, 'The Great Exhibition'. At least the portion about 1855-1901. 'her' is probably Earth itself, refering to years when she is 'moving in eliptical patterns'., before you think it's a love song

But it's 'material tower' not meteor tower, i believe. At least, that makes more sense.

@shadowr070 got the song meaning from an interview where phoenix said it.

[shadowr070]

It is either 'fold it' or 'folded'.

And foreign singer can tell you that you don't slur the words your singing (in a foreign language), and he clearly enunciated a 'd' in that word. The person who typed the lyrics here got it right, kids. It's not 'fallen' or 'fallin' ' or 'piemongoosefarts'

Shut up (and yes, i do mean the modern usage and not 'to hold one's money or kindness from another') if you don't know what you're talking about, can we at least agree on that much?

LMAAOOOO "FOLD IT" XDDDDDD

[polloyopa]

@shadowr070 yes, it is material tower. and it refers to the eiffel tower. "watch 'em build up a material tower. think its not gonna stay, anyway, think its overrated"

[shadowr070]

@XxSoCcErxX007 Ah...yeah, i can see how that would tie into the Art exhibition, how Paris was the center of attention for art and such back then, now it's just another world's city.

And you could find the meaning, but not the actual lyrics? hehe, i kid.
