lirik lagu jens lekman - a tuxedo sewn for two
[verse 1]
waiting by the urinal
for my turn, behind two guys
who are taking their time
since they are dressed in an oversized
tuxedo, that combines their bodies into one
two arms, three legs, a bowtie
a smile as bright as the sun
as if they’ve been conjoined twins
since time begun
[verse 2]
their names are jun and arthur
they’re getting married today
i’ve been hired as their wedding singer
they know me by the lеtter “j”
they’ve just lеarned that with a suit like this
it’s hard to pee
so while one guy does his business
the other turns to me
and says sorry they couldn’t pay much
and i says it’s fine
cause i’m having the time of my life
the drinks are free
and after all, i make a fortune
from my streams on spotify
we laugh, and they struggle to zip their fly
[verse 3]
i watch them contort their bodies
as they make their way to the sink
bubbly like soap, like two five year olds giggling
i catch a glimpse of arthur giving jun a little kiss
sure, i’m here in business, but the reason on top of the list
is not money, it’s tenderness
[verse 4]
they’re dressed as “two becomes one”
because it’s always been their song
but it’s also a reference to the plato symposium
the myth where aristophanes
tells how zeus split us in half
and how we’re all out there looking
for the other part of ourselves
to be re~attached
the wound stitched up all nice and neat
the dream of finally being complete
finally being complete
one of the guys says, “isn’t it sweet?
it’s kinda like ‘the human centipede'”
[bridge]
all the other guests at this wedding
are also dress as songs
i was going to be nena’s
“99 luftbaloons”
but with red balloons taped to my body
my mind was changed
’cause i looked more like a raspberry
so i picked “raspberry beret”
[verse 5]
“gin & juice” is drunk
“teenage kicks” kicking up a racket
i can’t take my eyes off a girl in a straight jacket
she nods as if
she wants me to help unlatch it
she stares at me
as if her eyes are hatchets
behind her red, heart~shaped glasses
