lyrics

CAPITAL I
All grown up with the outlook of a sheaf?
Did you wait for the scythe to cut you down?
Are you bundled away?
Has the wiry skeleton
That remains of your once cherubic sense of adventure
Been placed in an hermetically sealed childproof display?
Give up self-pity for lent
And concede you’re important with a capital I
You enjoy and you need the human race
You conceal and ignore the yellow flag
And proceed without care
While the old people act in the roles of the good Samaritans
Do you deign do you dare show your color?
Do you feel you’re giving way to their mild temperament?
You admit they’re important with a capital I
They want you safely home in the drive
They’ve been incorporating their lives
Into your own fine mess
You sweep up all your windswept piles and jump up
It’s amazing how it works
When you feel you inspire everyone
You’re a peach you’re a pear
You’re double-helix royal legionnaire
When you smile at everyone
You’re in deep
You’re ensnared
You’re in trouble
When you preach what you prepare to refrain from ever doing
Until you feel like you’re important with a capital I

It's the Agony Aunts! (aka - The Corner Laughers!) Really, that's all you need to know. If you have not heard them before, start by listening to the album "Greater Miranda" - if it doesn't get you completely hooked on this amazing San Francisco area band, then nothing will Kat Smith
