SLOAN lyrics : "take the bench"

You played those notes a year ago

But nobody ever seems to mind


You're so sweet




Upon request from her dad


She takes a seat centre stage


And starts to play




And when she's done


We take our roles as $$#igned

A few kids whined but everyone behaved





So take the bench, little girl

And sing your little heart out


The fact the notes are right


Doesn't mean she's any feeling




This year yields something new


A reason for the downcast eyes

The buttoned lip





The irony that rings so true

Is in the corner holding hands


That played the keys




That bored the kids and the adults alike


But made the teenagers laugh


At pure precociousness




So take the bench, little girl


And sing your little heart out

Take note, the facts are right


But she hasn't any feeling


We'll be appealing




Upon request from her mom


She takes the seat centre stage

And starts to cry




Take the bench, little girl


And sing your little heart out

Take the bench, little girl
