Politan Lyrics - Obligatory Villagers - Nellie Mckay

Santa Maria, can you hear me 

I've got no reason to live 

They say I've been lucky 

But it's all relative 

Won't you make it easy 

I've got to erase all the pain 

They say it's behind me 

But it keeps coming back 

But if you knew, my love 

Then you would see, my love 

Never meant to interfere 

With all your plans 

And if you cannot see 

Why don't you come for me 

And escape me to the world of Politan

Lo qué la noche se hace 

A la mañana parece 

Policeman, please arrest me 

I'd rather live in a jail 

Than have to stay out here 

Where everything fails 

Won't you give me something 

I'll pay you awfully well 

I will reimburse you 

If you'll just make the deal 

But if you knew, my love 

Then you would see, my love 

Never meant to interfere 

With all your plans 

And if you cannot see 

Why don't you come for me 

And escape me to the world of Politan

You gotta say, I'm an island in the Pacific 

As Miss O'Day would say, the view's terrific 

The more of the story is a doozy, dizzy parade 

You gotta say, I'm an island, oh, you can't fake it 

No, if everybody knew the way to make it 

The laurel and the glory would be taken, man, I'd be made
