Statuette - Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton

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

Better than me

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

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)

Better than me (You're better than me)

Better than me (You're better than me)

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

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, you’re better than me, you’re better

than me)

Better than me (You're better than me, you’re better than me, you’re better

than me)

Better than me (You're better than me, you’re better than me, you’re better

than me)

Better than me (You're better than me, you’re better than me, you’re better

than me)
