Wishing for Contentment Lyrics


Well, you know sometimes
I find myselfWishing for contentment
Hoping for relentment
Venting my resentment
On the happy few, on the happy few, yeahAwaiting resolution
And dreams of restitution
But finding retribution
Is just another thing to do'Cause you've got to keep yourself busy
Visit aunt Lizzy
Just see how she's beenBut when you're making a late run
Two judgmental matrons retort
See what I mean?A seeming reprobation
Perhaps, it's my vocation
Oh, nauseous elation
Comes to mind but fades so soon, ahWishing for contentment
Hoping for relentment
Venting my resentment
On the happy fewYes, I'm awaiting resolution

And dreams of restitution, restitution
Finding retribution
Is just another thingYou've got to keep yourself busy
Visit aunt Lizzy
Just see how she's beenBut when you're making a late run
Two judgmental matrons retort
See what I mean?A seeming reprobation
Perhaps, it's my vocation
Oh, nauseous elation
Comes to mind but fades so soonIt fades so soon
It fades so soon

Forget the violin. Forget the classical background. As troubadour Andrew Bird puts it, “At this point the violin just happens to be the instrument I have on hand to make the sounds that I hear. I like to abuse it and pull as many sounds out of it as I can.” Bird is a masterful and intuitive singer / songwriter, and what he does while performing—alternately plucking and bowing his violin, then immediately sampling the results, layering the sounds with guitar, whistling, glockenspiel and vocals—bears little resemblance to what most people might expect.
