A tune a day – Broken Social Scene

Broken Social Scene feat. Feist -- Lover’s Spit

All these people drinking lover’s spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
And they listen to teeth to learn how to quit
tied to a night they never met

You know it’s time
that we grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way

All these people drinking lover’s spit
Swallowing words while giving head
They listen to teeth to learn how to quit
tied to a night they never met

You know it’s time
that we grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way
