conventionality

verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus
mmmmm
i can only take so much
an album with every single song following the same formula
i can only swallow so much
this chorus sounds good, let's do it again
it's so good that we should repeat it four times in one song
this formula is so good that we should use it for an entire album
yes, that sounds like a splendid idea
i can only consume so much
before i explode
and mainstream music is splattered across the floor and the walls
my car antenna rarely sees sunlight
the words "music" and "television" in the same sentence mean nothing to me
for now, i will stay in the
city and colour
my world with acoustic guitars and harmonicas
i will announce to the world that
someone still loves you, boris yeltsin
i will call for a
death cab
just for cutie
if you need to reach me
i will be in
portugal. the man
knows how to write
