Bob Lyrics - The Dodos

I've got a lot to prove, I mean to tell you 

I've played the part of cool, that's what I sell you 

I listen good, I listen well 

You're old and you have much to tell 

So come out of your quiet spell 

I've heard her scream, I know she yells 

I've seen it too, I know it well 

So while she's gone I'll entertain you 

There's not a lot that I could write about you 

Your name is Bob, you smoke a pipe 

That's what it amounts to 

But we're the same 

We all want peace 

We're victims of the same disease 

You deal with her, I'll deal with these 

You sit and stare off into space 

You've got much more to think than say 

I know you won't 

But you want to 

You spend your time, you spend my life 

stuck in your room 

I take it hard because I tried 

To get you out to 

To have a stroll, to have a talk 

About your world, about the laws 

That keep you stuck, that keep you locked 

I know it's hard for you to change 

Before we part our separate ways 

You need to know 

I understand you
