lyrics

Orson, I don’t want to lunch without you.
Orson, you were just about to
Tell me kiwis are always sliced too thin.
Tell me controversial facts about Napoleon.

And all dictators are 5’ foot 6.’’
And all tall men get depressed more than a little bit.
Traffic is ruining the sex lives of the French.
No one has the time anymore for the cinq a sept

The gesture of dictatorship most don’t know who created it.
Was it Demille or Griffith? Can’t prove it’s true, but can’t prove it isn’t.
You think about the nature of art.
And 18th century lapdogs were there to blame for your farts.

Give me an opinion, like schools are opinion factories.
You’re sick of the salad-based health movement of the 60’s.
Sardinians stubby fingers, Bostonians have short necks.
Hungarians you like to the point of sex.

Marlene Dietrich played the saw.
Gary Cooper turns you into a girl.
Remember when you could stroll along
the Seine. It was another world.

Biographies focus fast
on the things you can’t help.
You believe everything bad
that you read about yourself.

Let’s order another. Don’t tell me it will end.
Tell me how cities are declining because of shopping malls.
Tell me women never feel any guilt at all.
Tell me it was better in the old days.
Tell me we can lunch forever. Don’t go. Stay, stay.
