Sarah Vowell's Motto by TV's Kyle

Sarah Vowell's got a funny voice
But I really like her words of choice
And if Flansburgh likes her, I'd like to hang with her too.

Sarah Starr lives in Connecticut
'Cause she ain't done with her novel yet.
If you asked me if I was her friend, I would say that that was true.

Sarah Vowell's voice makes Sarah Starr feel ill.
And I get the sinking feeling that it always will.

Sarah Vowell's motto ought to be
Sarah Vowell's motto ought to be
Sarah Vowell's motto ought to be "Stay away from Sarah Starr"

Vowell's cool in The Incredibles
A movie I know Sarah likes as well
But that's simply not enough to sway Sarah Starr's views.

I read Sarah Starr some Vowell lines.
Her laughter lead me to beleive that she might change her mind.
But she still can't stand her, so I guess I lose.

Starr and Vowell share some similarities
So I have to wonder if it's all just jealousy

Sarah Vowell's motto ought to be
Sarah Vowell's motto ought to be
Sarah Vowell's motto ought to be "Stay away from Sarah Starr"

Sarah Starr has far to go in her chosen career
But maybe someday she will be on Conan twice a year
Sarah Vowell's motto ought to be "Stay away from Sarah Starr"

Sarah Vowell's Motto
The Landfills

The water risin' higher, and higher.
Your vision growin' cloudy, growin' dim-- so dim.

And you calm yourself with the memory,
You know the words to live by.
You'll hear my voice
Callin' out to you
It could be worse.


(Mayday, mayday, mayday! We are taking on water! All hands abandon ship! This is not a drill! All hands to the lifeboats!)


The clouds spiral, swirling overhead.
Precarious survival, dangles from a thread-- a thin thread.

And you calm yourself with the memory,
You know the words I live by.
And you'll hear my voice
Callin' out to you
You know it could be worse.


(Roger Niner-Niner-Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot, understand you have emergency. You are cleared to land.)


And you calm yourself with the memory,
You know the words we live by.
And you'll head your voice
Callin' out with me
You know it could be worse.
"A person who is born with extraordinary natural talents, or who is extremely lucky, deserves nothing on the basis of these characteristics." - Edwin C. Hettinger
