    I love everything about this song. That chord progression, that silly bassline at the verse. But god, words cannot express how much i love the lyrics. If this song were a woman i would absolutly be afraid to talk to her.

    I own a hard wood flooring company and I have just realised that Parquet Courts are my new favourite band.The irony of it is that often times I hate parquet flooring but ultimately I love them as I do this amazing band.

    [Verse 1]
    Döner wrapper done right, an extinguished
    Crotch of a rollie inside yellow fingers
    Nothing lasts but nearly everything lingers in life
    Cellphone service is not that expensive
    But that takes commitment and you just don't have it
    It feels so effortless to be a stranger
    But feeling foreign is such a lonely habit
    [Bridge 1]
    You can't crop yourself out of a picture
    You're out of focus but still framed inside
    [Chorus 1]
    Well Berlin got blurry
    And my heart started hurting for you
    [Verse 2]
    Loud mouth living got you some attention
    And second chances given without doubt
    'Guess you've got a history but it's not worth a mention tonight
    Kind ears captive to the beers you've purchased
    Sipping through scenes of plastered confession
    Telling pretty stories, is it your sole purpose?
    Telling everybody that you learned your lesson
    [Bridge 2]
    But no one's falling for that nice guy bullshit
    They waited years, you can wait one night
    [Chorus 2]
    Well Berlin got blurry
    When my eyes started telling it to
    [Verse 3]
    Funny how it charms you, that Teutonic frankness
    Listen and it arms you with a new type of patience
    Maybe it alarms you because it tastes so familiar and wild
    French fries, hot dog, ketchup, main ingredients
    Swears in flawless English it's the best in town
    Funny how a sameness can not be distinguished
    Strangeness is relieving when you point it out
    [Bridge 3]
    But email, poems, slogans an example
    Of three things I can't unify
    [Chorus 3]
    Well Berlin got blurry
    As my thoughts all hurried to you

    It's already hard to envision a better rock album this year. At least, the two official releases have set a lofty bar. I haven't heard such upbeat music from A. Savage since Fergus & Geronimo and Teenage Cool Kids' first two records (which I urge anyone who hasn't to check out), even though the subject matter might not be so joyous, tongue in cheek implications aside!
