The Agony Of Laffitte Lyrics - If I Had A Hi-fi - Nada Surf

All I ever asked of you 

Was a copy of Garage Days 

And to tell me the truth 

Ain't no one watching you 

Exit Ventura Highway 

It's like I knew two of you, man 

The one before and after we shook hands 

Taking the calls 

But in all forgetting what's been said 

And after dark in a cab in L.A. 

Forget about the meter, man 

These are salad days 

Comes on the radio 

Comes on and what's being said 

Is you're no better than 

(Sylvia) 

No better than 

(Sylvia) 

No better than 

(Sylvia) 

Where you are 

(Where you've been) 

No better than 

(Sylvia, Sylvia) 

No better than 

(Sylvia) 

Where you are 

No better than 

(Where you've been) 

Where you are 

And where you've been 

And where you've gone, oh no 

Here's a mark, he's a mark on the page 

Dishing out the wisdom of this reflexive age 

Dotting the eyes with an eye 

For defining what you were 

So when you do that line tonight 

Remember that it came at a steep price 

And keep telling yourself 

There's more to you than her 

'Cause you're no better than 

(Sylvia) 

No better than 

(Sylvia) 

No better than 

(Sylvia) 

Where you are 

(Where you've been) 

No better than 

(Sylvia, Sylvia) 

No better than 

Where you are 

(Where you've been) 

No better than 

Where you are, where you been 

And where you gone, oh no 

Where you gone, oh no 

No, no, no, no, no, no 

No, no, no, no
