Ottoman Tab

by Vampire Weekend


Since the first version isn't complete I figured I'd make one.

Enjoy

Intro:     4x


                             
Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture
Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall


                            
Elegant clothes, you want to be seen with her
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall


                          
Today is for you
                              
They laid it out for you

For you
                                                            
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
                                            
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too

                            
All of the cards and all of the time it took
Soon it's all lines of red in a leather book
Begging you to wait for a minute by the door
Your creeping feet where they've never been before

                          
Today is for you
                              
They laid it out for you

For you
                                                            
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
                                            
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too
