Fake-a-Frown
by Petal Shop
Intro
(h) (4x)
Verse 1
Let s let the weeds grow and the birds make nests
on inconvenient perches so we can be more humble . . . now
and let s grab each other s ankles and throw our little bodies
down inconvenient mountains so we can learn to tumble...now
See, I hear about this house with similar ambitions
kids who seem to listen, private rooms for kissin
a little mecca for the real ones, who ve found a way to steal fun
from behind all these signs that are keeping us from wishin
Chorus:
(walk down to)
(toodle-oo) Goodbye, my old town
Gsusp
got a better thing coming now (toodle-oo)
Love your people and your sound
but I aint gonna fake a frown
Verse 2
And if these sirens call us and temperaments befall us
and all these catchy mantras are too trite, my dear, to shout
recall that that this grain of salt that we ve brought here in our mouths
is a string we ve tied behind us (put there to remind us) you can always turn around
Chorus:
Verse 3
but soon the loop repeats and the holes behind the sheets
come clearly into focus (surrounding us with motives)
and reasons we should fly (kiss another town goodbye)
and this life, so half-hearted, that we ve accidentally started
will be shaken off our backs as we re strapping on our packs
Chorus:
Instrumental
Verse 4
And when our little feet have crossed too many streets
we ll know home when we see it, though our minds may not believe it
and we ll spread ourselves right out, get a matress and a couch
and live life like we mean it
Chorus (2X)
