Lyrics
John Grant took my heart away to Reykjavik
I hope he takes care of it
Ups its rate a bit
We had tea at Bertaux
We like cake and it shows
A moment on the lips
A lifetime on the hips
We're a funny pair
He likes coasters, I don't care
Vicissitudes abound
Life is ups and downs
We love trees and we hug them
Every chance we get
It chafes the arms a bit
And we don't know if they're into it
Now he was absent on the night his mother died
Where was he, I don't know
But I do know he was there, really
And she knew it
But he didn't, not at all
I hear that he's moved on to the fjords
Or Lake Woebegone
Trying to find a place in which he can belong
But just a bit, until reality hits
