《Why I Can’t Draw》歌词

[00:00:00] Why I Can't Draw - The Smith Street Band

[00:00:27] I found an old notebook filled up with pictures

[00:00:30] Found my friends in hospital beds with

[00:00:33] Facial stitches

[00:00:34] We sat around the table drinking

[00:00:36] Hoping no one would ever die

[00:00:41] A scribble of an elephant with

[00:00:44] Why I can't draw and why everyone is evil

[00:00:47] Written above it in faded black ink

[00:00:54] Heated debate about the legal system

[00:00:57] Let's have a rally

[00:00:58] Let's start a revolution

[00:01:00] Set fire under our feet

[00:01:02] Do our best not to stamp it out

[00:01:07] And all I can see through the rooftops

[00:01:09] And the chimneys is the top of a billboard

[00:01:12] That reads love

[00:01:13] And I think It's an advert for

[00:01:15] Nasal spray technology

[00:01:16] But in my current state it doesn't matter much

[00:01:20] And these things are consuming

[00:01:22] But there's more to me than

[00:01:25] Lack of sleep and anxiety

[00:01:27] And darling

[00:01:27] You've befriended drop-outs and drifters

[00:01:30] So why would you expect anything different

[00:01:34] This is a summer song

[00:01:37] And I want you all to sing along

[00:01:57] And a woman with a face

[00:01:58] That slid right down to the top of

[00:01:59] Her dress told me

[00:02:00] I'd succeed because

[00:02:01] I'd been touched by a goddess

[00:02:03] If society's taught me anything

[00:02:05] It's that writing is much easier than speaking

[00:02:10] That walking is best done in silence

[00:02:13] And rooftops are best left leaking

[00:02:15] And as we boarded up the walls

[00:02:18] Where our fists had fell the night before

[00:02:19] I said I'm sorry that I shout

[00:02:21] I'm not sorry but I don't put out

[00:02:22] I'm sorry

[00:02:23] I don't understand things unless

[00:02:25] I find music in them

[00:02:29] And I know that you feel like I left you

[00:02:33] But you left me without much of a choice

[00:02:37] I haven't learn to draw but at least

[00:02:39] I've never lost

[00:02:42] Never lost my voice

[00:02:43] These things are consuming

[00:02:46] But there's more to me than

[00:02:48] Lack of sleep and anxiety

[00:02:50] And darling

[00:02:50] You've befriended drop-outs and drifters

[00:02:53] So why would you expect anything different

[00:02:57] This is a summer song

[00:03:00] And I want you all to sing along
