Ugly Love

Eels · Blinking Lights & Other Revelations [2005]

Dear cousin I got your letter

It was more than I thought I deserved

Well she sounds perfect, all I dream of

And I dream about so much it is absurd

But when I get there and she sees me

I'll be impressed if see does not run screaming



My kind of love is an ugly love

But it's real and it lasts a long long time



I had a thought while I was sleeping

I dreamed about a place for us to rest

Eternity under the odor tree

But I go too far I guess

Maybe I'll think about tomorrow

And maybe I can get her to stay that long cos



My kind of love is an ugly love

But it's real and it lasts a long long time



And if she finds me so repulsive

She wouldn't be the first to wretch

Well I decided one day long ago

I was never gonna be the greatest catch

And if she cares about the car I drive

Then she can get in hers the moment I arrive cos



My kind of love is an ugly love

But it's real and it lasts a long long time

My kind of love is an ugly love

But it's real and it lasts a long long time
