Nevers Lyrics - The Fiery Furnaces

Nevers 

There's a town i know called nevers 

No nevers 

Never wasn't was what it weren't 

When it wasn't once. Knew nevers 

Knew nevers 

Nothing never i'll ever learnt 

There's a village i visit, that's vaguely 

Sorta vaguely 

Vaguely yes i seem to recall 

Though it's unclear clearly- vaguely 

Very vaguely 

Can't say it's been there once and for all 

I put back on my overshoes 

And got in my renault 

The trips reset so i'm unsure 

How far it is to go 

But then it hits me (slap) 

I've left it off my map 

There's a city i saw signed something 

Must be something 

Something never quite so defined 

So much so how somewhere something 

(though some sing) 

So to speak's the uncertain kind 

In an index looked up where-it-was 

Exactly where it was 

Just in fact to make sure i can't 

Set a course straight through to where it ain't 

And where it ain't 

Ain't gotten to except at a slant 

I put on my new black boots 

And pack up my citroen 

And out of town it huffs and puffs 

I set off there alone 

And then it hits me (slap) 

I've left it off my map 

There's a place i passed called once upon a time 

Tiny once upon a time 

Never wasn't weren't what it was 

Set the clock back twice or once upon a time 

In once upon a time 

Never knew when it wasn't there because
