I sit two stories above the street
It’s awful quiet here since love fell asleep
There’s life down below me though
The kids are walking home from school
Some long ago when we were taught
For whatever kind of puzzle you got
You just stick the right formula in A solution for every fool
Well, I remember the time when I came so close to you
Sent me skipping my class and running from school
And I bought you that ring 'cause I never was cool
What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated, oh yeah
So I just sit up in this house and resist
And not be seen until I cease to exist
A kind of conscientious objection
A kind of dodging the draft
The boy and girl are holding hands on the street
I don’t want to but I think you just wait
It’s more than just eye to eye
Learn the things I could never apply
But I remember the time when I came so close with you
Let everything go it seemed the only truth
And I bought you that ring, it seemed the thing to do What makes me think I could start clean slated
Hardest to learn was the least complicated
So what makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
I’m just a mirror of a mirror of myself
All the things that I do And the next time I fall I’m gonna have to recall
It’s isn’t love it’s only something new
I sit two stories above the street
It’s awful quiet here since love fell asleep
There’s life down below me though
The kids are walking home from school
And I remember the time when I came so close with you
Sent me skipping my class and running from school
And I bought you that ring 'cause I never was cool
What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
Least complicated
Least complicated
Discovered Rites of passage working in a CD store in '92. Met my wife in '94, she turned me on to the earlier stuff & I've loved it all since. And I know good music!
one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It brings back so many friends memories and good times bad times. 25 years later I now truly understand what they were trying to tell me.
In 1996 i bought a Packard Bell desktop computer and it came with a bunch of bundled sampler ect stuff... this song/video was on a cd sampler..23 years later i re-examined it and it still works...that little girl of 6 i got the computer for is grown with a Masters and lives far away......
I saw these lovely ladies my senior year of hs ... '98 ... in Chattanooga and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. So many great memories b/c of these ladies.
heheh... the song is called least complicated and this song happens to be one of the most complicated ones they've written, with all that harmony and such. oh, the irony. i love this song.
In 1990 a friend of mine, with whom I had been in love heavily (ok, it was more from my side than from her...) brought me a tape with their first LP when she returned from a school exchange program ... Ever since, those overwhelming musicians are a part of my life.
Thank you for the music
