Destroyer is Dan Bejar, one of the New Pornographers (usually referred to as "indie supergroup New Pornographers" and then followed by a mention of Neko Case). There aren't any chords/tabs for Destroyer songs online, which is just ridiculous; the man can write rock songs (or, in the case of "Farrar, Straus & Giroux (Sea of Tears)," melancholy pop/country songs) like nobody's business, and who doesn't like to rock out, now and again, in the grand indie style? Having said that, I hope I've been rocking (or popping) appropriately to this song. It was back amongst the living Your smile was giving Me a thrill Enough to come so close To closing the deal The steal of the century A century stolen from our hearts To a house on the hill But if that is what it takes If that is what it takes ---- If that is what it takes To be a stone A stone's throw from your throne No man has ever hung From the rafters of a second home No man has ever hung From the rafters of a second home It's true I needed you more Back when I was poor The wealthy dowager, the patroness She guessed it The answer wasn't yes But her maxims were fine The ethos that flew about her mind Like swallows in search Of a burnt-down bell tower church But if that is what it takes If that is what it takes ---- If that is what it takes To be a stone A stone's throw from your throne No man has ever hung At the temporary age of twenty-four (With) both feet on the floor Listening to the bona fide stasis of sound The eaves dripping Yesterday's ill-timed August rain If there is such a thing as ill-timed August rain --- (x2)
