A Lovely Affair
Death Cab for Cutie

Version 1:nnEveryone that I ever knew was crammed into a little building with a hardwood floornDimly lit, it smelled of stale smoke nAnd friends were choking back the tears that they had come there fornAnd I was in a little jar upon the stagenWhere all my records and guitars were neatly placednnLeft of the tables of food sat two girls I could not recall speaking tonAnd one told the othernDon't cry, we still have three of the others, it will be all rightnAnd I was hovering overhead taking it innBut all the things I should of said they were trapped forever in my skinnnAnd there were a number of speeches where people said what they didn't want me to knownTelling all types of secrets I wish I would have known about five days agonIt would have been quite a surprise for me to look them dead in the eyes and saynnWell, it was a lovely affair, people cared more than I had ever thought they wouldnSome kids stole what was left of the boozenThe clean-up crew worked as hard as they thought they shouldnAnd I was hovering overhead taking it innBut all the things I should have said they were trapped forever in my skinnnnVersion 2: nnEveryone that I ever knew was crammed into a little building with a concrete floornDimly lit, it smelled of stale smoke nAnd friends were choking back the tears that they had come there fornAnd I was in a little jar upon the stagenWhere all my records and guitars were neatly placednnLeft of the tables of food, sat two girls I could not recall speaking tonAnd one told the othernDon't cry, we still have three of the others, it will be all rightnAnd I was hovering overhead taking it innI cannot believe he is dead, he was just beginning to beginnnAnd there were a number of speeches where people said what they didn't want me to knownTelling all types of secrets, I wish I would have had a clue five days agonIt would've been quite a surprise to look them dead in the eyes, and saynnWell, it was a lovely affair, people cared more than I had ever though they wouldnSome kids stole what was left of the boozenThe cleanup crew worked as hard as they thought they shouldnAnd I was in a little jar up on the stagenI cannot believe he is dead, he was just beginning to begin
