Grounds for Divorce

You said you hate the sound
Of the busses on the ground
You said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town
I said pretend it’s whales
Keeping their voices down
Such were the grounds for divorce I know

On the radio
And the bouncing body’ drone
Found eighteen reasons I can’t pick up on the phone
I said look at the clouds
It’s a show all on its own
Such were the grounds for divorce I know

But the darling is dead
We hit her on the head
It looked like a wedding cake
Though the darling is dead
We hit it on the head
It looked like a newlywed

But look at the lovers
And they way they stand
And the way they move and the way move their hands
And look at their babies
And their tiny little hands
And the way they get loved and the way they get loved oh

Oh look at the lovers
And they way they stand
And the way they move and the way move and the way move their hands

You said you hate the sound
Of the busses on the ground
You said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town
I said pretend it’s whales
Keeping their voices down
Such were the grounds for divorce I know

Looked like a newlywed

On the radio
And the bouncing bodies’ drone
Found eighteen reasons I can’t pick up on the phone
I said look at the clouds
It’s a show all on its own
Such were the grounds, such were the grounds, for divorce I know

Wolf Parade Lyrics

You are a Runner and I am my Father’s Son

You are a Runner and I am my Father’s Son
Modern World
Grounds for Divorce
We Built Another World
Fancy Claps
Same Ghost Every Night
Shine a Light
Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts
I’ll Believe in Anything
It’s a Curse
Dinner Bells
This Heart’s on Fire

Disco Sheets
Killing Armies
Lousy Pictures
The National People’s Scare
Wits or a Dagger
No One Saves The Day
Things I Dont Know
