The Decemberists California One / Youth and Beauty Brigade Lyrics

INTRO: D Em F#m G Em D
Take a long drive with me
On California one, On California one
Take a long drive with me
On California one, On California one
And the road a-winding goes
From golden gate to roaring cliff-side
And the light is softly low as our hearts become sweetly untied
Beneath the sun of California one
Take a long dram with me
Of California wine, of California wine
Take a long dram with me
Of California wine, of California wine
And the wine it tastes so sweet
As we lay our eyes to wander
And the sky, it stretches deep
Will we rest our heads to slumber
Beneath the vines of California wine?
Beneath the sun of California One
us4
Annabelle lies, sleeps with quiet eyes
On this sea-drift sun
What can you do?
And if I said, O it's in your head
On this sea-drift sun
What can you do?
YOUTH AND BEAUTY BRIGADE
We're calling all bed wetters and ambulance chasers
Poor picker-pockets bring 'em in
Come join the youth and beauty brigade
Come join the youth and beauty brigade
We're lining up the light-loafers
And the bored bench warmers
Castaways and cutouts, fill it up
Come join the youth and beauty brigade
Come join the youth and beauty brigade
Nothing will stand in our way
I figured I had paid my debt to society
By paying my overdue fines at the Multnomah County Library, at
the library they said son, go join up
go join the youth and beauty brigade'
Come join the youth and beauty brigade
Come join the youth and beauty brigade
Come join the youth and beauty brigade
Nothing will stand in our way
