Fountains of Wayne - Amity Gardens lyrics

Angel broke her wing<br>Oh, you poor thing<br>The hum of the motor gave way to<br>The tick tick ticking of the clock<br>And the rattle of springs<br>The buick's in the drive<br>It's good to be alive<br><br>And if you knew now what you knew then<br>You wouldn't want to go home<br>Wouldn't want to go<br>If you knew now what you knew then<br>You wouldn't want to go to amity gardens again<br><br>It isn't very much, but<br>For now it's home<br>A room in the shadow of a funny-looking man<br>On the phone to the bank about a default loan<br>I thank you very much<br>Ta ta we'll be in touch<br><br>And if you knew now what you knew then<br>You wouldn't want to go home<br>Wouldn't want to go<br>If you knew now what you knew then<br>You wouldn't want to go to amity gardens again<br><br>Where you came from<br>And act like you tried<br>Cause somethings are better kept<br>Deep down inside<br>But you'rs not driving<br>You're along for the ride<br>Just checking out the scene<br>And taking in the green
