king creosote - tortoise regrets hare lyrics
[verse 1]
she said “answer me this, handsome jack: if your hands weren’t tied
would you consider me wise enough to see off your fear of heights
whether real or imagined, whether flight or fancy?
i’ll teach you all that this city has taught me
i’ll bow you around this city’s boundaries”
[hook]
tortoise regrets hare
tortoise regrets hare
fox takes hare
[verse 2]
and i mentioned that i’d seen you in the paper
marrying the fool you’d slipped a smile into the picture
saying “i am still the same infinite girl that you’ve all known”
and are there any regrets here aside my own?
i sleep with your songs running up my arms
they’re curling around and they’re keeping me warm
[hook]

tortoise regrets hare

hold on, hold on
[verse 3]
and on the crown road, when it aligns with the north star
she asked me to write a song about her
she said her husband was a singer, he didn’t understand her beauty
he couldn’t even rhyme an egg
oh, the petty jealousies of a minor rock star
this ring has never left my finger
he doesn’t see your beauty and you cannot trust a word he says
[hook]
tortoise regrets hare
tortoise regrets hare
fox takes hare
[bridge]
hold on, hold on
[verse 4]
and i tell you, “don’t you sell your love short
in my prime, i was a cruel and a cold man
now i am older, i present myself much warmer
anxious not to lose out on a year or two’s favour
for the sake of my red temper”
you pressed sea sh+lls in the sand
they spelled out your cruel, cruel demands
[hook]
tortoise regrets hare
tortoise regrets hare
fox takes hare
fox takes hare
tortoise regrets hare
tortoise regrets hare
fox takes hare
fox takes hare
tortoise regrets hare
[outro]
hold on, hold on, hold on
