Book Club - Arkells

Now I was heading to the bus stop, Matty

You were reading in your room — holed up all day

You picked me up in a brand new Audi

And said «she bought it for herself, on Mother’s Day»

Then, we hum along

To some familiar tune

«I like women and songs»

And you said, «It's from volume two»

But there you give me one — another you just finished

You’re my library — always open for business

But you never show it

You’re just sitting with it

But I know the score, and you’re killin' it

Line after line — when you’re taking it in

Time after time — when you try to fit in

To some white shoes, or a blue collar

Alright

So we listened to your choice for the first 10 seconds

I turned the dial

I turned your expression

And I said «Now, haven’t you learned your last lesson?»

I try to understand

I just don’t get it

Then we hum along — all from memory

«I like women and songs»

You said, «It's from volume three»

But there you give me one — another you just finished

You’re my library — always open for business

But you never show it

You’re just sitting with it

But I know the score, and you’re killin' it

Line after line — when you’re taking it in

Time after time — when you try to fit in

To some white shoes, or a blue collar

Take me to the bus stop, Matty

Drive me back to Hamilton

You talk about your step dad funny

You sound just like your father’s son

In '98 he liberated every Latin rhythm

He never used to play it

She could never stand to listen

But there you give me one — another you just finished

You’re my library — always open for business

But you never show it

You’re just sitting with it

But I know the score, and you’re killin' it

Line after line — when you’re taking it in

Time after time — when you try to fit in

To some white shoes, or a blue collar
