Laments Lyrics & Chords By Hop Along, Queen Ansleis

It's a green-striped sheet
Lifted from me i am free
Of two very heavy bodies

Once we three had slept soundly,
I couldn't keep them around
Fold the blankets down and
Found new sleeping ground
Bedsprings squeeking
Tires squealing away
From one another
We all used to be lovers here

Bodies laying say they'll stay
Just like boxes, stacked
The same way
Labeled and separated. Hey

Go ahead, take the couch
I know i don't wanna sit here
Next to nobody
Go ahead, take the fridge
I know i don't want you going hungry
Go ahead, take the cat
I know you're only gonna be
Coming back so
Go ahead, take it all,
I know you've been wanting to
Settle down
Has it always been, settling down?

One on the left says
To the one on the right
I could make
A very good wife for you

One on the right says
To the one on the left
Let's take this one
Step at a time

One on the right says
To the one on the left you know
I need you all the time

One on the right says
To the one on the left
I think i changed my mind
And my insides sing

A song for the sad ones
Who say they'll marry
They guess
If she's wearin a white dress
If he behaves his very best (x3)
Yes...

Go ahead, take the couch
I know i don't wanna sit here
Next to nobody
Go ahead, take the fridge
I know i don't want you going hungry
Go ahead, take the cat
I know you're only gonna be
Coming back so
Go ahead, take it all,
I know you've been wanting to
Settle down
Has it always been, settling down?

My elastic steel and spring,
They will tell you everything,
If you lay down, for a minute.

The mattress maker's making his,
Living by the minute.
By the minute.

The mattress maker's making his, living...
Baby bye bye.
