Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton - Statuette lyrics

With a feather in your cap Another j**el in your crown Another notch in your belt You’re the captain at the helm The statuette on your shelf Says you’re better than me Better than me With all the coal in the core All the water and the oil You can buy any girl in the world With the soil that you borrow And the moral you deny You can buy the eyes of the world With all the coal in the core All the water and the oil You can buy any girl in the world With the soil that you borrow And the moral you deny You can buy the eyes of the world Better than me (You’re better than me) Better than me (You’re better than me) Better than me (You’re better than me) Like oil in the ocean I couldn’t keep to myself Your father was a merchant And I’m a salesman myself See what we have in common Is so easy to find We’re wound around each other Like wires and vines Wires and vines Build a shrine to fast goodbyes And we played Sweet Adeline Who should you apologize to? What is there to say? Build a shrine to fast goodbyes And we played Sweet Adeline There’s nothing more to apologize for What is there to say? With all the coal in the core All the water and the oil You can buy any girl in the world With the soil that you borrow And the moral you deny You can buy the eyes of the world With all the coal in the core All the water and the oil You can buy any girl in the world With the soil that you borrow And the moral you deny You can buy the eyes of the world Better than me (You’re better than me, you’re better than me, you’re better than me) Better than me (You’re better than me, you’re better than me, you’re better than me) Better than me (You’re better than me, you’re better than me, you’re better than me) Better than me (You’re better than me, you’re better than me, you’re better than me)
