Oxford Comma :: Vampire Weekend

I give a f*** about Oxford commas! Now I'm off to gaily write a song about splitting infinitives. Toodles.

p.s. I will keep posting obnoxious songs until other people post songs!

Mansard Roof :: Vampire Weekend




I saw this video really late one night, on MTV2. I like it. It made me google "mansard roofs." They were very popular in the 19th century. They are very helpful in maximizing attic space [deadpan expression on my face].




I see a Mansard Roof through the trees,
I see a salty message written in the eves,
The ground beneath my feet
we are garbage and concrete,
And now the tops of buildings
I can see them too!

I see a Mansard Roof through the trees,
I see a salty message written in the eves,
The ground beneath my feet,
we are garbage and concrete,
And now the tops of buildings
I can see them too!

The Argentines collapse in defeat,
The admiralty surveys the remnants of the fleet,
The ground beneath their feet
Is a nautically map sheet
as thin as paper
while it slips away from you.
