California English Lyrics - Contra - Vampire Weekend

Wouldn't ever gag you with a spoon, my only true love 

Never really heard you speak that way, it's unworthy of... 

Funny how that little college girl called language corrupt 

Funny how the other private schools had no Hapa Club 

Someone took a trip before you came to ski in the Alps 

Your father moved across the country 

Just to sunburn his scalp 

Contra Costa, Contra Mundum, contradict what I say 

Living like the French Connection, but we'll die in LA 

Blasted from a disconnected light switch 

Through the condo that they'll never finish 

Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish 

And through your brain to California English

Modern Love: The Best Top 40 Love Songs For Valentine's Day 

No one sits inside a freezing flat and stays there 'til May 

Leafing through a stack of A-Zs to surf the UK 

Waiting with the wind against your face 

And gel in your hair 

Shivering in little undershirts, but don't seem to care 

Blasted from a disconnected light switch 

Through the condo that they'll never finish 

Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish 

And through your brain to California English 

Sweet carob rice cake 

She don't care how the sweets taste 

Fake Philly cheese steak 

But she use real toothpaste 

Cuz if that Tom's don't work 

If it just makes you worse 

Would you loose all of you faith in the good Earth 

Photos 

And if it's all a curse 

And we're just getting worse 

Baby, please don't lose your faith in the good earth 

Blasted from a disconnected light switch 

Through the condo that they'll never finish 

Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish 

And through your brain to California English
