White Wine and Fried Chicken - Hot Chip

Started in a timeless tradition

Still marking time

The wildest ambitions

Were just false alarms

In this mindless condition

I started to smile

But in time I was wishing

For nothing so wild

You gave me white wine and fried chicken

A new place to stay

Where my heart has permission

To sing all the day

And your smile is resistant

But starting to sway

Where the wild water’s swimming

And leading us astray

We dream ourselves into a new position

And waste all the day

With our blues in remission

We’ll keep them at bay

And in time’s row permission

The clock fades away

I can hear its heart ticking

With nothing to say

You gave me white wine and fried chicken

A new place to stay

Where my heart has permission

To sing all the day

And your smile is resistant

But starting to sway

Where the wild water swimming

It leads us astray

Ah, la la, la la

Ah, la la, la la

Ah, la la, la la la

Ah, la la, la la

Ah, la la, la la la
