Stephin Merritt - The d**h of Ferdinand de Saussure lyrics

I met Ferdinand de Saussure on a night like this On love, he said, I'm not so sure I even know what it is No understanding, no closure, it is a nemesis You can't use a bulldozer to study orchids, he said so [Chorus] We don't know anything You don't know anything I don't know anything About love And we are nothing You are nothing I am nothing Without love I'm just a great composer and not a violent man But I lost my composure and I shot Ferdinand Crying, it's well and kosher to say you don't understand But this is for Holland Dozier Holland, his last words were [Chorus] His fading words were [Chorus]
