the mountain goats – only takes a few lyrics
[verse 1]
“almost missed this one,” he said
i stared at the honky+tonk piano
sure beats living in town
the beaches are half a mile away
“not much of the cat,” i said
he stared down underneath the couch
it doesn’t matter much to me
not gonna beat it, anyway
[chorus]
it only takes a few cents more to go first class
first class only takes a few
it only takes a few cents more to go first class
first class only takes a few
it only takes a few cents more to go first class
first class only takes a few
[verse 2]
“it’s called ‘quintessence’,” i said
she stared at an oreo cookie in black and white
after water, earth, air and fire
the fifth and highest play
“lobster okay?”, she said
i stared at her refrigerator door
there’ll be enough for the guy in the attic
what’s his name?
[chorus]
it only takes a few cents more to go first class
first class only takes a few
it only takes a few cents more to go first class
first class only takes a few
[bridge]
shared a floor with nashville
the burger queen bought herself a pearl
a bloke named [?]
with art and a very pretty cali girl
downstairs, two spanish lovers were singing along
with some domestic [?]
i had to pinch myself, what a h+ll of a house i’d stumbled on
[verse 3]
“june, july, august,” she said
they stared at the summer about to fade away
d+mn good three months of my life
i remember now what living is
“the cat’s now a cat,” i say
you stare at the honky+tonk piano man
watch your step
i just met oliver, the lobster’s his
[chorus]
it only takes a few good friends to be first class
first class only takes a few
it only takes a few good friends to be first class
first class only takes a few
[outro]
first class only takes a few
it only takes a few
it only takes a few
it only takes a few
long live the island
long live the island
long live the island
