TV Priest - It Was A Gift (Official Visualizer)

"It Was A Gift" by TV Priest from their album 'My Other People,' out now on Sub Pop Records.

Pin a flower to my pocket
Place a hat upon my head
Like a statue I am pointless
Like a relic I am dead
And I read about it
In a great big book
And I saw it on some late night television
In the dirt there were diggers
Hauling up the rocks
In the dirt there were diggers
Making some awful church
There were fingers in the butter
And pockets full of earth
And pockets full of earth
Victoria plum jam
Thrown at the wrong man
A long, long time ago
And I read about it
So it must be true
So it must be true
Uh huh, yeah, uh huh
So, so, so glorious!
So glorious!
Well, its a good story
If you only hear it once
And the story goes like this...
There was a king
And he had men, some Englishmen
And the rain was coming down in buckets
And the jam was ruined
Why does it cost so much to have a little peace and quiet?
And I read about it
So it must be true
So it must be true
Now,
I can laugh about it
Cry a little, cry a little too
Now I can
I can laugh about it
Cry a little, cry a little, cry a little too

[adrianstrickland]

the purpose of poetry is to bait the God of commentary
the purpose of music is to transcend Him...
