LEMONADE
Let's not be precious
Life takes gauze and glue
Wide eyes will get us there
On our coconut hooves
Rising tides bring trouble
Strand old tubs upon the sand
Navigate these shallows
Chase birds with our bare hands
We don't want to be special
We'd have too much to lose
Line up the world's lemons
Suck them all and choose
Make some lemonade
Or lose
Diamonds on the table
Hearts upon on their knees
A tragedy of clubs and spades
In a hand of cards as lame as these
So trickle down you pennies
Quench my thirsty purse
Chase away the bitter birds who
Peck bare earth and dream of worms
I don't need to be special
I have too much to lose
Line up the world's lemons
Suck them all and choose
Make some lemonade or lose
Drink your lemonade or
You lose
Life takes gauze and glue
Wide eyes will get us there
On our coconut hooves
Rising tides bring trouble
Strand old tubs upon the sand
Navigate these shallows
Chase birds with our bare hands
We don't want to be special
We'd have too much to lose
Line up the world's lemons
Suck them all and choose
Make some lemonade
Or lose
Diamonds on the table
Hearts upon on their knees
A tragedy of clubs and spades
In a hand of cards as lame as these
So trickle down you pennies
Quench my thirsty purse
Chase away the bitter birds who
Peck bare earth and dream of worms
I don't need to be special
I have too much to lose
Line up the world's lemons
Suck them all and choose
Make some lemonade or lose
Drink your lemonade or
You lose
(this post is about the words: you don't need to hear the song if you don't want to)
What is this song about? What do the words mean? Which bits mean something to you and which bits are incomprehensible? Which of the three versions do you prefer?
