Sellotape Lyrics - Flight Of The Conchords

[Brett's voice narrating] 

Dear Jermaine, by the time you read this, I will be far, far away, at Coco's house, and I will no longer be residing-- 

And that is just one of the reasons why I'm moving out. You didn't seem to understand th-- 

And the most important thing for me to say is that-- 

Do you remember that time that seagull-- 

Yours sincerely, Brett. 

[Jermaine] 

Lives are like retractable pencils 

If you push them too hard theyre gonna break 

And people are like paper dolls 

Paper dolls and people, theyre a similar shape 

Hmm hmm hm hmm 

[Brett] 

Love is like a roll of tape 

Its real good for making two things one

[Jermaine] 

But just like the roll of tape 

Love sometimes breaks off before you were done 

[Brett] 

Another way that love is similar to tape 

That Ive noticed 

Is sometimes its hard to see the end 

[Together] 

You search on the roll (search on the roll) 

Search on the roll (searching round the roll) 

Search on the roll (search) 

[Together] 

With your finger nail 

Again and again 

And again and again 

[Jermaine] 

And again...

[Brett] 

Oh no I'm not gonna leave her, I told you that. You know, I like the band, but no I'm not leaving Coco.

So what's it gonna be man? The girl or the band? 

[Brett] 

Well it's gonna be Coco. 

[Jermaine] 

Oh. Are you sure? 

[Brett] 

Yeah. 

[Jermaine] 

Oh I thought you... I was sure you were gonna say the band. 

[Brett] 

No I'm staying with Coco. 

[Jermaine] 

I guess you can still be in the band 

[Brett] 

Okay. 

[Jermaine] 

Okay. Okay well I'll see you later. Actually I'm gonna wait til the bus stops, and then... get off.
