The Chickpea Darlings - Out With Sweetness!

Sometimes I think that pity is an under-rated virtue
It makes you warm inside and just a little cannot hurt you
And if you were to pity me you'd see me really bloom
'Til my flowers burst with joy and shoot like rockets round the room
But late-Renaissance leather girls have always been my weakness
Those cigarillo feather girls have always been my weakness
Ambitious weather girls have always been my weakness
They look so self-sufficient but their eyes cry out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness

Superficial charm is such a harmless little vice
It's addictive as cocaine and just a fraction of the price
And I'd walk a thousand miles to hear your low-down southern drawl
And I'd stick to you like Velcro if you'd just pin me to your wall
But flaky now-or-never girls have always been my weakness
Broken stake-and-tether girls have always been my weakness
Get-your-junk-together girls have always been my weakness
They look so self-sufficient but their eyes cry out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness

It's arrogance, not love, that sends us crashing to the ground
It's self-loathing, not love, that really makes the sweetest sound
It is courtesy, not love, that really makes the world go round
And if you'd do me the courtesy then it would mean the world to me
And you could be the girl for me

My amnesia was something that I'd hoped that I'd forget
But now I pass each year with almost nothing to regret
And Edith Piaf calls for coffee twenty times a day
And still we're never stuck for fascinating things to say
But late-Renaissance leather girls have always been my weakness
Those cigarillo feather girls have always been my weakness
Ambitious weather girls have always been my weakness
They look so self-sufficient but their eyes cry out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
Out with sweetness
