Artist: The Decemberists Album: Her Majesty
Lyrics
Billy liar's got his hands in his pockets Staring over at the neighbor's, knickers down He's got his knickers down
So the summer is eternity for you? Sleeping in until your father's shaking you down He's shaking you down
And the mailroom shift gets a real short shrift As you dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around All skulking around
Let your legs loll on the lino 'Til your sinews spoil Will you stay here for a while, dear 'Til the radio plays something familiar? Plays something familiar
All a-drifting, he's a no-good boyo Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame (His only catch all day)
So he sits and lets the current take him A gentle breeze will leave his pants in disarray And at his ankles lain
As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep He is decked by a japanese geisha with a garland of pearls How she twists and twirls!
Let your legs loll on the lino 'Til your sinews spoil Will you stay here for a while, dear 'Til the radio plays something familiar? Plays something familiar
