Vampire Weekend - Giving Up The Gun Lyrics and Video

[Chorus]
Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done

And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun

When I was 17
I had wrists like steel
And I felt complete

And now my body fades
Behind a brass charade
And I’m obsolete

But if the chance remained
To see those better days
I’d cut the cannons down

My ears are blown to bits
From all the rifle hits
But I still crave that sound

[Chorus]
Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done

And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun


I heard you play guitar
Down at a seedy bar
Where skinheads used to fight

Your Tokugawa smile
And your garbage style
Used to save the night

You felt the coming wave
Told me we’d all be brave
You said you wouldn’t flinch

But in the years that passed
Since I saw you last
You haven’t moved an inch

[Chorus]
Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done

And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun

I see you shine in your way
Go on, go on, go on

[Chorus]
Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done

And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun

Vampire Weekend - Cousins Lyrics and Video

Y! AY! AY! AY! AY! AY!

You found a sweater on the ocean floor
They’re gonna find it if you didn’t close the door.
You and this model sit outside the side
In a house on a street they wouldn’t park on the night.

Dad was a risk taker.
His was a shoe maker.
You greatest hits 2006,
Little listmaker.


Caught in the melody,
You wait in the car.
You were born with ten fingers and you’re gonna use them all.

Interest in colors
I discover myself
If your art life is gritty you’ll be toasting my health
If an interest in culture should be lining the walls
When your birth right is interest you could just accrue it all

Me and my cousins,
And
You and your cousins
It’s a line that is always running.
Me and my cousins,
You and your cousins,
I can feel it coming

Jonathan Low Lyrics & Video Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend - Jonathan Low Lyrics

Last born of the clan first one to be free
Lived inside a house, beneath the hangin tree

That chilled him to the bone
Words were cried at night in unforgiving tones

Blood of his men was gone beneath snow
He picked up his knife and his bow
Killer of Jonathan Low

Violence from without and anger from within
Crawling through the fields informing next of kin
They all turned their backs but they all knew his name
And if he could return they'd probably do the same

Blood of his friends was gone beneath snow
For all that I know, he died, killer of Jonathan Low

The blood of his friends was gone beneath snow
For all that I know, he died
Killer of Jonathan Low
