White Sky - Vampire Weekend
From their upcoming album, Contra (out January 2010)
lyrics:
AN ACIENT BUSINESS
A MODERN PIECE OF GLASSWORK
DOWN ON THE CORNER THAT YOU WALK EACH DAY IN PASSING
THE ELDERLY SALES CLERK WON'T EYE US WITH SUSPICION
THE WHOLE, IMMORTAL CORPORATION'S GIVEN ITS PERMISSION
A LITTLE STAIRWAY
A LITTLE PIECE OF CARPET
A PAIR OF MIRRORS THAT ARE FACING ONE ANOTHER
OUT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, A THOUSAND LITTLE JULIA'S
THAT COME TOGETHER IN THE MIDDLE OF MANHATTAN
YOU WAITED SINCE LUNCH
IT ALL COMES AT ONCE
(chorus)
AROUND THE CORNER, THE HOUSE THAT MODERN ART BUILT
A HOUSE FOR MODERN ART TO KEEP IT OUT THE CLOSETS
OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT OWN IT
THE SINS OF PRIDE AND ENVY
AND ON THE SECOND FLOOR, THE RICHARD SERRA SKATEPARK
YOU WAITED SINCE LUNCH
IT ALL COMES AT ONCE
(chorus)
SIT ON THE PARK WALL
ASK ALL THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
"WHY ARE THE HORSES RACING TAXIS IN THE WINTER?"
LOOK UP AT THE BUILDINGS
IMAGINE WHO MIGHT LIVE THERE
IMAGINING YOUR WOLFORDS IN A BALL UPON THE SINK THERE
YOU WAITED SINCE LUNCH
IT ALL COMES AT ONCE

@ITSMEohemgee whats this got to do with hollister?
-
Oh my gosh, I love this song.
-
Best song off the album
-
where the fuck are the chinese doods
-
@po6qu7 I've got to admit, I do sometimes. :/
-
@96Nathan96 Don't worry, I'm gay and I still laughed. :D
-
@JustAFocus You're right, rhythm and picking are similar, the melody isn't the same though. I like both songs.
-
If you want to hear where this song came from, listen to Paul Simon's much more natural-sounding and livelier song "Proof."
Still, I have to admit that White Sky is reasonably catchy.

@96Nathan96 Gay people don't speak and shout like that ;) Just a prejudice against us
-
@jookle1 Aha! Thanks! :)

My brother and I made a really rude joke...
I don't mind gay people. But we said it sounds like a gay guy on fire... >:(
