I'd like to tell you, like to tell you Tell you everything 'Cause nothing changes, ever changes Nothing seems the same these days Dave's been a mess since Cheryl left Just sits at home and beats back death And Beth still wears his stupid dress There goes Joe Caparo again With Darren's girlfriend They're asking where ya been, like I know Where ya been? Hey Summer, where ya been? I tried to tell you, tried to tell you Just took a bit too long And now your phone is disconnected And your shit's out on the lawn The hardback cafe closed down Now we've got Office Town You shoulda stuck around There go Ross and Frank again They're holding hands They're asking where ya been Like I know where ya been Hey Summer, where ya been? I could take a train or fly away Maybe write a book or change my name I could settle down Best Imitation of Myself: I feel like a quote out of context Withholding the rest So I can be free what you want to see I got the gesture and sound Got the timing down It's uncanny, yeah, you think it was me Do you think I should take a class To lose my southern accent Did I make me up, or make the face till it stuck I do the best imitation of myself The "problem with you" speech You gave me was fine I liked the theories about my little stage And I swore I was listening But I started drifting Around the part about me acting my age Now if it's all the same I've people to entertain I juggle one handed Do some magic tricks and The best imitation of myself Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole Wondering, who I am when I ought to know Straighten up now time to go Fool somebody else, fool somebody else Last night I was east with them And west within Trying to be for you what you wanna see But I can't help it with you The good and bad comes through Don't want you hanging out with No one but me Now if it's all the same It comes from the same place And if my mind's somewhere else You won't be able to tell I do the best imitation of myself Yes it's uncanny to see You'd really think it was me The best imitation of myself The best imitation of myself The Last Polka Well, she crept back in the house at half past three Shook her head to see him snoring in his sleep If you really loved me she said I wouldn't have to be so mean He's a heap of junk that pours from his top drawer Sometimes likes to spread it out around the floor It's evidence of what he was like He likes to remember when... (chorus) Sha la la, sha la la lo li The end is growing near We're treading water now And holding back our tears And the day is rising We're sinking sha la la lo li In a minute it will all be coming down And they know it now but no one makes a sound Such a shame to ruin this bright Lazy summer day...
