Knotty Pine

From Dark Was the Night2009

Written by David Byrne, Dirty Projectors

Lyrics

Knotty Pine

Here is the sound that photographs make When I see them When I hear them I see regions of sharp precision Over abundance Over indulgence Tied together with rope and twine Stuck together with paste and glue Two old planks of knotty pine And a couple of nails poked right on through
