lyrics

AT THE MAYFLOWER MOTEL

You and I, we share this cheap apartment
Apart we are, together just in name.
They say there’s something better round the corner
But the TV’s on, and on the TV it’s all the same.
CHORUS:
But not too much is wrong, as far as I can tell
Here out back of the Mayflower Motel
As we live out back of the Mayflower Motel.

Yours and mine, our fathers came for peace and plenty
I recall that Grandpa kept an open door
They thought this land was fragrant and empty
Now it’s full of noise and fear and thoughts of war (CHORUS)

They all say, At least the Governor’s got some answers
The governor’s making war on the trees
The bad news from abroad has all been cancelled
The baddies are beaten and I’m beaten to my knees (CHORUS)

They say there’s places people live for freedom
They say there’s places people try
There they are, purposeful and happy
But it’s not like that for
You and I as we share this cheap apartment
Apart we are, together just in name.
They say there’s something better round the corner
But the TV’s on, and on the TV it’s all the same.
CHORUS:
But not too much is wrong, as far as I can tell
Here out back of the Mayflower Motel
As we live out back of the Mayflower Motel
As we live out back of the Mayflower Motel.
