Regina Spektor - Dog and Pony (02-14-2006)

Regina Spektor singing "Dog and Pony" at Tonic in NYC on Valentine's Day in 2006.

The recording quality is a little iffy but I've yet to find another version of this song.

--
Dog and pony
Empty file
Cabinet
You never forget
You never come back the same
Each time you go up in flames
Each time you begin to blame
You never come back quite the same

Just a little bit more love
Oh, a little bit more love
Just a little bit more love
For me
Just a little bit more love
Oh, a little bit more love
But it's alright
Don't cry
My sweet

You were born
Unto me
I'm torn
Unto me
I'm worn
Unto me
Unworn

So I danced my dance
And I kissed your hands
And I took a chance
And we fell into a trance

Just a little bit more love
Oh, a little bit more love
Just a little bit more love
For me
Just a little bit more love
Oh, a little bit more love
But it's alright
Don't cry
It's alright
Don't cry
It's alright
Don't cry
My sweet

Say one, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three
You sitting on the rooftop
Me begging here on my knees
I stayed in love with you
You're just falling in love with me
And darling, you know that ain't right
So if love never lasts forever ever, ever

Little brother
Little lover
Twist these strings of fate
There is no clean slate
So I'm carting away
All of myself
In this metal crate

And my dog and my pony
And my empty file cabinet
You never forget
You never come back quite the same
Each time you go up in flames
Each time you begin to blame
You never come back quite the same

Just a little bit of true love
Oh, a little bit of true love
Just a little bit of true love
For me
Just a little bit more love
Oh, a little bit more love
But it's alright
Don't cry
It's alright
Don't cry
It's alright
Don't cry
My sweet

Oh, I ADORE this!!!

The way she sings "Just a little bit of true love" is mesmerizing.

Thanks for posting!!

[slicknick1986]

Yeah I love that part too, amazing!

[luvthecanadian]

Darn, you tricked me! I thought this was a vid of this rare song!

Oh well, 5 stars anyways, cause this song deserves more credit!

[slicknick1986]

Sorry about that, no tricks intended. :) I just really liked this photo and used it instead of an album cover for the live song uploads.

[slicknick1986]

But yeah this song is a gem isn't it? :D

[peachtable966]

this song is heartbreaking.

What is it about Regina's music that just makes absolute sense, to the point where you feel like you've heard the song before, even when you haven't? Yet it twists and turns in ways you hadn't expected. Then you look back and go, "oh, well, yeah i can see where that makes sense." and by the end, you completely forget what you had initially expected the song to be...

She's a genuis, i tell you!!!

"It was used in a cool context...and i completely changed the context."

only Regina =D

[Clemyntine]

Yeah, this recording is from 2004, not 2006.

There's even a video of her on youtube actually performing this song. It's beautiful.

[rad941205]

i love the way she says pony.

[yonnystarr]

This is my most favorite song in the entire world. A lot of songs are tied for #2, but this is the undisputed #1 of my life.

[larasoto1991]

PLEASE! WHERE CAN I GET THIS SONG?? :(

[demonicadvent]

I hate to be one of those little annoying trolls pointing out silly little issues in videos... but this song was recorded on V-Day of 2004, not 2006. :) If Regina was still playing magical songs like this in '06... well... I'd be a much happier man. <3

[justforthesparks]

She sounds like audry hepburn at the begining, when she is talking.

My two favorite people.

[ADreamAsLovely]

if someone has the mp3 please message me for my email and send it to me.. i looked on respekt online and couldn't find it!

[snowfishe]

There is but one thing that bothers me with my Regina Spektor obsession. I keep trying to expand my musical horizons but for some reason no-one else ever seems to be quite as good...

[MissPizzatarian]

I love love love this song... but can't find a good quality recording of it anywhere! woe is me.
