Gin and Platonic

Been too long since I've shared a song! This one, "Gin and Platonic" by the Smittens, is WAY too cutesy, even for me. But I do like the Smittens-- I saw them play a show last month, and was impressed that they played their best song (in my opinion) first. They also played this song "Gin and Platonic", which I thought was pretty asexual. Maybe it's about someone who's just bitter about love, but I happen to like my own interpretation of an extremely twee, asexual guy and his night out at the local dive. Much like the Alanis Morisette song, it's not entirely clear that this is an ironic situation, although it is a rhyming one. I'm going to try to do the world another service and transcribe some not-yet-existing on the 'net lyrics:

I spy with my little eye
Out of focus girl who's about to cry
I'll buy her a beer or two
that she can cry into
She says isn't it ironic
All you want is gin and platonic.

Relationships I never wanted
Relationships I have avoided
Gin and platonic never lets me down.

I spy with my little eye
A tiny crooked smile
She's about to...[my listening skills fail here...this could be the totally sexual part]
She'll buy me a beer or two
That I can cry into
She says isn't it ironic
All I want is gin and platonic.

Relationships I never wanted
Relationships I have avoided
Gin and platonic never lets me down.

You can listen to the song in the upper right hand corner of this page.
