the shins - name for you lyrics
[verse]
my girl if you’re lucky one day
rolling down the ancient high street you’ll find
in the mirror reflects a woman in her prime
can you make your way out?
in a world dearly won
well it’s yours love
you can move it around
given all the drops in the ocean
better take it one sip at a time
somebody with an antique notion
comes along to tighten the line
they’re just afraid of you speaking your mind
[chorus]
they’ve got a name for you girls
what’s in a name?
they got a name for everything
all of the clothes that you wear
and all of your bits and pieces yeah
you’re flipping through the check-stand rags it appears
there ain’t no time to waste, you’re getting on in years
you can keep your can up
if you just never eat again
it’s a means to a terrible end
even if your plan is successful
have you really got room in your life?
yeah and it’s a bland kind of torture
you’ve played the mother and wife
but what do you really dream of at night?
[chorus]
they’ve got a name for you girls
what’s in a name?
they’ve got a name for you girls
what’s in a name?
they got a name for everything
all of the clothes that you wear
and all of your bits and pieces yeah
[outro]
they’ve got a name for you girls
some stupid name
they’ve got a name for you girls
what’s in a name?
what’s in a name?
what’s in a name?
what’s in a name?
what’s in a name?
