Practical Amanda - Ben Folds, Nick Hornby

Who’d look at that dump and see a home?

Why not move in somewhere easily?

Urinals where bedrooms ought to be.

Who could be bothered, really?

You’re really good at all that stuff:

The nuts and bolts of living;

Good at blinds and kitchen tables.

I’ve got no time for dates and plans.

No, I’m too busy dreaming.

You’re the one with an attention span

You’re not the freewheeler.

Practical, Practical Amanda

Save one life

And made two others

Practical Amanda

Who’d look in here and see someone

That might be worth redeeming?

Head and Heart and Soul fucked up Who could be bothered, really?

I’ve got no time for dates and plans.

No, I’m too busy dreaming.

You’re the one with an attention span

Practical Amanda.

Practical, Practical Amanda

Save one life

And made two others
