as promised last post, here’s one of the new Beati Paoli songs. You can get it with the rest of the “Quid Pro Quo” project on 6.19.09.
MASSIVE CHARM OFFENSIVE
You’re old enough by now
To know how this works
If not, I’ll take you by the hand
And walk you through the plan
I’ll take you for a ride downtown
To see if your story checks out
Cards on the table…
I’ll get what I want
And you’ll get to believe in what you want to
Who has to know?
Just you and I alone
Behind closed doors
We’ll serve our purpose
There’s such a thing as quid pro quo
I meant it as a joke
But you took it as a threat
And negotiations aren’t even over yet
I’ll take you for a ride downtown
Let’s see if your story checks out
Cards on the table…
I’ll get what I want
And you’ll get to believe in what you want to
Just press the flesh
Completely acquiese
Press the flesh and acquiese
Let’s coalese
It’s for the best
Don’t feel deceived
It seems to me you’ve already agreed
You just don’t know yet…
