In the Absence of Notable Guests
The Paperbacks
Jenny, oh Jenny it's strange to see
the almost desperate urgency
with which this guy will phrases his questions.
You look, you look so radiant, but visibly bored.
You issue bland quotes he cannot distort
or compress because you've been hurt before.
And they don't know and they don't care.
Their lights just follow you everywhere.
The things they do become intolerable to you
but it feels like you've settled in their favour.
But, Jenny, I'll be around.
Met up with Kate and Andrew at Marshall's Pub.
I mentioned that you sent your love,
they got wistful and changed the subject.
Some ghosts, yeah, some ghosts linger without pause
due to Canadian Content Laws.
Your song is playing on the ride home.
And they don't know and they don't care.
Their lights just follow you everywhere.
The things they do become intolerable to you
and it feels like you've settled in their favour.
But, Jenny, I'll be around.
Jenny, I'll be around.
And they don't know and they don't care.
The lights just follow you everywhere.
The things they do become intolerable to you
and it feels like you settled in their favour.
Jenny, I'll be around.
Yeah, Jenny, I'll be around.
Jenny, I'll be around.
