My Girls

Animal Collective · Merriweather Post Pavilion [2009]

Isn't much that I feel I need

a solid soul and the blood I bleed

With a little girl, and by my spouse

I only want a proper house



There isn't much that I feel I need:

a solid soul and the blood I bleed.

But with a little girl, and by my spouse

I only want a proper house



I don't care for fancy things

Or to take part in a pressured race.

But to provide for them when they ask

I will, with heart, on my father's grave



On my father's grave



I don't mean

To seem like I care about material things,

Like our social status,

I just want

Four walls and adobe slats

For my girls
