Brand New Colony by The Postal Service


Blah... This is one of my most favorite songs ever, and here are the lyrics:




I'll be the grapes fermented,
Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
Like a perfect gentleman.
I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day.

I'll be the waterwings that save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink.
I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite
Albums back as your lying there drifting off to sleep...
I'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you,
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes.
I'll be your winter coat buttoned and zipped straight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch a cold.

I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth.
We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change,
We'll give ourselves new names (identities erased)
The sun will heat the grounds
Under our bare feet in this brand new colony.

Everything will change, oOo oOo...




This song is just so amazing... It's about love, and when I listen to it... Ah, I just imagine that maybe a guy feels that way about me. Or maybe a guy will feel that way about me some day...
Blah...

I just can't get over it...
And one of my favorite lines from it is, "I'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you,
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes."
Mostly, because I can relate to this, considering I'm pretty short... Ah, love.

And then my other favorite line is, "I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth."

I'd just love for a guy to say that to me... Lol.


So much emotion... All over the place. I love.
