james veitch - statistically speaking lyrics

[verse 1]
population density around the world varies (it varies)
it varies (it’s extremely variable)
and that makes it very tricky to find a lover you will cherish
(you will cherish)

[verse 2]
i spoke to a statistician on the matter
he said, “james, i’m actually in a meeting,uh, can you come back here in an hour?”
so i did and he told me what i’m gonna to say to you
he’s going to say those things to you

[interlude]
question: where are the gospel singers?
i thought we hired gospel singers
are they, are they not coming?

[verse 3]
statistically speaking, my one true love lives in china
how will i find her?
statistically speaking, my one true love speaks chinese
and drinks many teas
and i can’t speak chinese, nor mandarin nor cantonese
and to be honest, those don’t sound like languages
they sound like restaurants

[verse 4]
in fact, the difference in cultures would mean that i would need to learn a whole lot more about china
than a series of cultural stereotypes
albeit told in a quasi-ironic way
it genuinely bears repeating that
a quasi-ironic way
and then we, we radiohead this sh-t

[verse 5]
let me take you down
’cause what’s the point in going out on weekends?
you may as well stay in and lie in bed
’cause there are 7 billion people in the world
and only 17 of them are in the old king’s head
i think governments around the world should spend
their gnp on a speed-dating event
’cause i don’t believe in destiny
the stars or serendipity
they’re ways of dealing with entropy

[verse 6]
but you say
“james, i met my girlfriend in a lido
these things really do happen, you just have to wait and see”
i say
“yes but you were working in the lido
you added her on facebook; i think that’s creepy.”

[interlude]
hmm
instrumental

[verse 7]
and i’m saying all these things in the old king’s head
i’ve had three staropramens and i wish i was in bed
but is that a group of girls walking in that i see?
i recognise one and she looks at me

[verse 8]
she’s got bright red hair and spanish eyes
dungarees and a disarming smile
i want to talk to her but i’ve got the fear
then suddenly i see her coming over here
panic, she’s coming over

[verse 9]
she says
“james i like your songs and i think you’re kind of funny
it doesn’t bother me that you’ve got no money
the world’s a crazy place but it gets better
come with me and we’ll be terrified together”

[chorus]
so, just be patient and you will find her
you don’t need to go to china
just be patient and you will find her
you don’t need to go to china
just be patient and you will find her
you don’t need to go to china
just be patient and you will find her
you don’t need to go to china
just be patient and you will find her
you don’t need to go to china
just be patient and you will find her
you don’t need to go to china

[outro]
go if you want. i’m not saying don’t go
just, it was ironic
