VAMPIRE WEEKEND lyrics : "California English"

Wouldn't ever gag you with a spoon, my only true love
Never really heard you speak that way, it's unworthy of?
Funny how that little college girl called language corrupt

Funny how the other private schools had no Hapa Club

Someone took a trip before you came to ski in the Alps

Your father moved across the country
Just to sunburn his scalp
Contra Costa, Contra Mundum, contradict what I say

Living like the French Connection, but we'll die in LA

Blasted from a disconnected light switch

Through the condo that they'll never finish
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English


No one sits inside a freezing flat and stays there 'til May
Leafing through a stack of A-Zs to surf the UK

Waiting with the wind against your face
And gel in your hair
Shivering in little undershirts, but don't seem to care


Blasted from a disconnected light switch
Through the condo that they'll never finish

Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English


Sweet carob rice cake
She don't care how the sweets taste
Fake Philly cheese steak

But she use real toothpaste

Cuz if that Tom's don't work

If it just makes you worse
Would you loose all of you faith in the good Earth


And if it's all a curse
And we're just getting worse
Baby, please don't lose your faith in the good earth


Blasted from a disconnected light switch
Through the condo that they'll never finish

Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English
