and the sun had nearly gone down
Did you see him on the street?
Did you pass him at your feet?
or did he even look me in the eye?
And he loves a girl, and he loves a boy
Set him up , let him fall,
turn him over in your head
God save the King of New Orleans
Set him up , let him fall,
turn him over in your head
God save the King of New Orleans
Just a little bit I'll play one more
doing like this medley thing
This is a song that was the last song written for the before
the robots record and we did we never got to play it live
and so we put it on the the
twelfth track on before the robots
and promptly forgot about it
and we never played it live
and then in 2011 there was the the terrible earthquake in
Haiti and George Clooney and other luminaries, celebrities,
did the Hope for Haiti telethon
and right before that aired we got a call and
we were asked if we were cool
with Taylor Swift covering the song
and we were like absolutely not.
Now we said oh my god yes and full disclosure, full disclosure,
I mean I feel like we've established some honesty
and tonight in this intimate room.
The first thing I thought was,
And then quickly I realized this is for charity.
You're going to hell. You're going.
But that's the first thing I thought.
Anyways, Taylor Swift did this song and recorded it,
and I'm gonna play it for you now.
