Vampire Weekend - M79 Lyrics






It's going to take a little time
While you're waiting like a factory line
I'll ride across the park
Backseat on the 79

Wasted days you've come to pass

So go I know you would not stay
It wasn't true, but anyway
Pollination yellow cab

You walk up the stairs
See the French kids by the door
Up one more flight
See the Buddha on the second floor

Coronation rickshaw grab

So go, I know you would not stay
It wasn't true, but anyway
Racist dreams you should not have

No excuse to be so callous
Dress yourself in bleeding madras
Charm your way across the Khyber Pass

Stay awake to break the habit
Sing in praise of Jackson Crowter
Watch your step along the arch of glass

Vampire Weekend M79 Comments
  1. A.... N....

    love this band!! all the songs awwww!

    A.... N....

    New to the Vampire faithful mid 2019. I got all their old stuff now. What a treasure trove...!

  2. T.... S....

    The start sounds like something from The Sims.

  3. R.... S....

    The singer sounds like Paul Simon my uncle though it was him when I played it one day.

    R.... S....

    Ezra lists Simon and Garfunkel as one of his inspirations for his music. You can't really deny the similarity if you know S&G

  4. a.... r....

    Nnms, ta bien verga 👽

  5. M.... ....

    2041 anyone

  6. R.... L....

    Heart and Hand brought me here...

  7. J.... B....

    The first 34 seconds of this song have been my ringtone for the past 2 years.

    J.... B....

    Ah Jeez.......I set mine up a few weeks ago (before reading this). Great minds with great taste think alike, heh?

  8. L.... J....

    Love the way they do quick cuts to each instruments almost like a question/ answer ....while much going on in the background..A visual video of this type of song would be dynamite.

  9. d.... r....

    Classic vw

  10. P.... F....

    Ezra gets possessed by the ghost of Mozart during the chorus

    P.... F....

    I get much more of a Bach vibe on this tune but i pick up what you're putting down

  11. i.... ....

    It's gonna take a little time
    While you're waiting like a factory line
    I'll ride across the park
    Backseat on the 79
    Wasted days you've come to pass
    So go, I know you would not stay
    It wasn't true, but anyway
    Pollination, yellow cab

    You walk up the stairs
    See the French kids by the door
    Up one more flight
    See the Buddha on the second floor
    Coronation, rickshaw grab
    So go, I know you would not stay
    It wasn't true, but anyway
    Racist dreams you should not have

    No excuse to be so callous
    Dress yourself in bleeding madras
    Charm your way across the Khyber Pass
    Stay awake to break the habit
    Sing in praise of Jackson Crowter
    Watch your step along the arch of

    No excuse to be so callous
    Dress yourself in bleeding madras
    Charm your way across the Khyber Pass
    Stay awake to break the habit
    Sing in praise of Jackson Crowter
    Watch your step along the arch of glass

  12. C.... M....

    If you went to the OKC show on the FOTB tour then you have PTSD from this song

  13. R.... P....

    this song reminds me of f. scott fitzgerald's this side of paradise

  14. l.... m....

    oh romeo...

  15. M.... K....

    Personally my favorite vampire song and I love this group and have seen live 3 times..I wish it was more

  16. D.... ....

    Baroque pop... wow

  17. G.... R....

    FUUUUUUUUUCK THIS TOOK FOREVER TO FIND

  18. A.... I....

    This song again was not that good verging on okay. This song’s combination of classical and somewhat indie rock doesn’t do it for me. It had a pretty catchy melody but the mix was just kinda ehh. 2.5/5

    A.... I....

    I'll give you a thumbs up on the promise you will watch the M79 Pitchfork Live version here. Watch it twice. I'll check back and see if you edited your post after viewing. You're just one step away from getting what all the fuss is about.

  19. U.... ....

    It's gonna take a little time
    While you're waiting like a factory line
    I'll ride across the park
    Backseat on the 79

  20. C.... H....

    I love the guitar sound in this one

  21. C.... D....

  30. R.... R....

    I love Vampire Weekend, but I just realized that this is the song in the Corgi meme. Lol

  31. T.... U....

    One of the most underrated songs in history. Watch this gain relevance in a 2030s hipster film.

    T.... U....

    Tbf I never thought a band nowadays called "Vampire Weekend" Would sound like this... lol

    T.... U....

    @david gold I know, right? You'd think it was some sort of an emo band. Lol

    T.... U....

  38. M.... Y....

  45. T.... N....

    I found this song because it was used in a vine of a woman bouncing a dog in her lap such that its legs flopped about; but this song was definately worth the search.

  46. W.... W....

    This feels like something that would have been popular in the 50s/60s

    W.... W....

    not really

  47. S.... ....

    i originally heard this song from a vine with a dancing corgi and now its been two years and vampire weekend is my favorite band

  52. B.... J....

    Strings are underrated and fall foul of syrupy connotations

  53. R.... g....
