With a feather in your cap Another jewel in your crown Another notch in your belt You're the captain at the helm The statuette on your shelf Says you're better than me Oh Better than me Oh With all the coal in the core All the water and the oil You can buy any girl in the world With the soil that you borrow And the moral you deny You can buy the eyes of the world Better than me (you're better than me) Oh Better than me (you're better than me) Oh Better than me (you're better than me) Oh Oh Oh Like oil in the ocean I couldn't keep to myself Your father was a merchant And I'm a salesman myself See what we have in common Is so easy to find We're wound around each other Like wires and vines Wires and vines Build a shrine to fast goodbyes And we played Sweet Adeline Who should you apologize to? What is there to say? Build a shrine to fast goodbyes And we played Sweet Adeline There's nothing more to apologize for What is there to say? With all the coal in the core All the water and the oil You can buy any girl in the world With the soil that you borrow And the moral you deny You can buy the eyes of the world Better than me (you're better than me) Oh Better than me (you're better than me) Oh Better than me (you're better than me) Oh Oh Oh
@@motrs1206 There's passion in this song too. The drum loop and chords are the right substrate to support the vocals. Anything more would have been superfluous and detracted from the message in the lyrics
Emily, we love you, keep singing!!!! brilliant song and album ,Cory
Emily and the samba. Fantastic!!
I love this song and all you do Emily. Thank you for making this often horrid world, better.
With a feather in your cap
Another jewel in your crown
Another notch in your belt
You're the captain at the helm
The statuette on your shelf
Says you're better than me
Oh
Better than me
Oh
With all the coal in the core
All the water and the oil
You can buy any girl in the world
With the soil that you borrow
And the moral you deny
You can buy the eyes of the world
Better than me (you're better than me)
Oh
Better than me (you're better than me)
Oh
Better than me (you're better than me)
Oh
Oh
Oh
Like oil in the ocean
I couldn't keep to myself
Your father was a merchant
And I'm a salesman myself
See what we have in common
Is so easy to find
We're wound around each other
Like wires and vines
Wires and vines
Build a shrine to fast goodbyes
And we played Sweet Adeline
Who should you apologize to?
What is there to say?
Build a shrine to fast goodbyes
And we played Sweet Adeline
There's nothing more to apologize for
What is there to say?
With all the coal in the core
All the water and the oil
You can buy any girl in the world
With the soil that you borrow
And the moral you deny
You can buy the eyes of the world
Better than me (you're better than me)
Oh
Better than me (you're better than me)
Oh
Better than me (you're better than me)
Oh
Oh
Oh
I believe that I've listened to this everyday for a year so hypnotic
Same
haha me too
Had no idea new material was released. Love it!
I forgot how I heard this song.....but with stupid COVID again, I'm glad it popped up. Like my 10th time listening
I love this, magical and floats in between happy and sad but expresses so much. So deep visually, sonically and emotionally, much love xx
love it !!!!
Phenomenal!
Beautiful lyrics and sweet, soothing voice.. my favourite one. Words and voice dominate the song, have so much depth and meaning to them. Loved it ❤
This song is beautiful tragic and lovely
3:05 "Is that something everyone's doing?" :D
Such a great song
Great song.
02:35 Casting couch gag
It confuses me that the most regurgitated garbage get millions of views and art like this gets so little attention.
< 3 [1/11]
hope this gets some air play better than metric.
Static drum loop and 4 chords on the piano over and over... Lol! I don't think so!! 😂 Metric has passion behind the notes!
darknessfalls1956 metric in Philly only hets played once a month on our "alternative" rock station. It SUCKS

The lyrics is amazing notwithstanding all the minimalism and simplicity yep
