Oldest Relative Lyrics by Crooks & Nannies

Soup For My Girlfriend

2015

[Verse 1]
Watch the pot
Hands on the clock
I know that everything is inevitable
Pull up a chair for the boiling over

[Verse 2]
Feeling weird
Backwards and queer
But I know that my diet of motor oil
Will keep me going when I get too old to rely solely
On the energy my body produces

[Bridge]
But old is relative to the people you're with
And the things that you've lived through
And I'm relatively far from the earth

[Verse 3]
Used to wish that my cells would stop reproducing with themselves
But now I'm content with my bodily functions
'cause positive thinking isn't lying to yourself

[Bridge]
Lies are relative to your narrowing sense of what is real and fake
I wish I had a little more perspective

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm relatively close to you
There's only one month left until you sleep in my bed
But there is a month and one day
Until you slip through my sweaty hands
Until then

[Chorus]
I'll take care of myself
Like I take care of my car
I'll ask somebody else
To do it for me

I'll take care of myself
Like I take care of my car
I'll ask somebody else
To do it for me

[Outro]
Do it for me
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
Would you do it for me?
