Verse One: Girl, I've got good news if you like bad news I'm no Modest Mouse, no Death Cab But truth be old I don't mind being used And I could dress like cowboy dan
I bet I kiss like Viggo Mortenson Just try closing both your eyes All you have to do is to imagine And pretend I'm one of those guys
Chorus: OH!!! She, she wishes I could be Ben Gibbard or Isaac Brock But I'm sorry, so sorry I cannot
I could be your second best And I promise you won't regret Taking me, your silver medal 'Cuz I know I can't reach their level but I could be your second best I'll make it something you won't forget Taking me, your silver medal Baby please, come on just settle
Verse Two: I will, I know I could tide you over Darling please, give me a chance I'll be yours 'til you find somethin better Meanwhile, you will be romanced
I can't write songs but I could write letters Postal Service done that yet? Don't give me that look, I know you're thinking He's cute but he's no Johnny Depp
Chorus: OH!!! She, she wishes I could be Ben Gibbard or Isaac Brock But I'm sorry, so sorry I cannot
I could be your second best And I promise you won't regret Taking me, your silver medal 'Cuz I know I can't reach their level but I could be your second best I'll make it something you won't forget Taking me, your silver medal Baby please, come on just settle
Verse Three(ending): I've got mine but I want more I've got gloves to keep you warm I can tell you why you're so sad We always want what we can't have (you want them and I want you) I'm no Gibbard and I'm no Brock I'm no Gibbard and I'm no Brock I'm no Gibbard and I'm no Brock I'm no Gibbard and I'm no Brock But you're so damn hot
I thought this was pretty funny. I'm very unhappy with the fourth line in the first verse, but I couldn't think of anything good to put there. The third verse is mostly a bunch of references to different modest mouse and death cab songs. The title "Ben Brock, Isaac Gibbard" is temporary so if you have any suggestions they'd be most welcome.
