Knotty Pine

Dirty Projectors, David Byrne

Knotty Pine / So Far Around the Bend, 2009, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Here is the sound that photographs make
When I see them
When I hear them
I see regions of sharp precision
Over abundance
Over indulgence
Tied together with rope and twine
Stuck together with paste and glue
Two old planks of knotty pine
And a couple of nails poked right on through
