So True - The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

So true

So true

So true

So true

Olga steals drinks from distracted men in bars

While she dreams of the Soviets' return

It’s the price they should pay for thinking anyone her age

Should hear what they say

If you don’t wake up looking like death in the grass

How do you know that you’re not like the rest

And I know that you’re not going to rest

And I know that you’re really

So true

So true

Ylva chains herself to a rig in the sea

And nearly dies in the week she’s there

In a city sick with wealth and little else

It’s good to feel nothing at all

If you don’t lose some skin for the things you believe

How do you know that you really do

And I know that you really do

And I know that you’re really

So true

So true

So true

So true

Now you’re tied to each other

But by winter you’ll wonder

If boredom was just an excuse

For locking your arms as the black passing cars

Cast silhouettes of your youth

If you don’t lose your breath for the things you believe

How can you know that you really do

And I know that you really do

And I know that you’re really

So true

So true

So true

So true

So true

So true

But I could never be

So true

Oh

So true

But I could never be

So true

So true

But I could never be, I could never be

So true

I could never be, I could never be

So true

I could never be, I could never be

So true

But I could never be, I could never be

So true
