Book club...

Arkells pumping me up right now... absolutely love this track!



Book Club by Arkells

I was heading to the bus stop, Matty
You were reading in your room, holed up all day
You picked me up in a brand new Audi
And said, "she bought it for herself on mother's day" 
Then we hum along
To some familiar tune
"I like Women and Songs"
You said, "it's from volume two" 
Then you give me one, another you just finished
You're my library, always open for business
You never show it, you're just sitting with it
But I know the score, and you're killin' it 
Line after line, when you're taking it in
Time after time, when you try to fit in
To some white shoes
Or a blue collar  
We listened to your choice for the first ten seconds
I turned the dial and it turned your expression
I said, "now haven't you learned your last lesson?"
I try to understand but I just don't get it 
Then we hum along
All from memory
"I like Women and Songs"
You said "it's from volume three" 
Then you give me one, another you just finished
You're my library, always open for business
You never show it, you're just sitting with it
But I know the score, and you're killin' it  
Line after line, when you're taking it in
Time after time, when you try to fit in
To some white shoes
Or a blue collar  
To some white shoes
Or a blue collar 
Take me to the bus stop Matty
Drive me back to Hamilton
You talk about your step dad funny
You sound just like your father's son  
In '98 he liberated
Every Latin rhythm
He never used to play it
'Cause she could never stand to listen 
Then you give me one, another you just finished
You're my library
You never show it, you're just sitting with it
But I know the score, and you're killin' it  
Line after line, when you're taking it in
Time after time, when you try to fit in
To some white shoes
Or a blue collar  
Is it your white shoes
Or your blue collar? 
Line after line
Time after time
