Flight of the Conchords
Pencils in the Wind
[Jemaine (spoken)]
This song's about love.

[Bret (spoken)]
Yeah.

[Jemaine]
Lives are like retractable pencils

[Bret]
If you push 'em too far, they're gonna break

[Bret (and Jemaine)]
And people are like paper dolls (mmm–mmm)
Mmm, oh yeah

[Jemaine]
Paper dolls and people
They're the very same shape
Mmm, ye-a-ah

{Jemaine and Bret]
Love is like a roll of sellotape

[Jemaine]
Oo-ooh
[Jemaine and Bret]
Real good for makin' two things one

[Jemaine]
But just like that roll of sellotape
Love sometimes breaks off before you're done

[Bret]
Another way that love is similar to sellotape
That I've noticed
Is sometimes, it's hard to see the end

[Jemaine]
Ain't that the truth, my friend?

[Bret (and Jemaine)]
You (search) search 'round the roll (search 'round the roll)
(Yeah, you search 'round the roll) Search 'round the roll (the roll)

[Jemaine and Bret]
With your fingernail
Again and again
And again and again
And again

[Bret]
Doo-doo doo doo doo-doo doo-doo-doo!
[Jemaine and Bret]
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with sellotape, uh-huh
Ohh-ohh, yeaaahhh, oh

Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with sellotape of love

[Jemaine]
Ooh-ooh

[Jemaine and Bret]
That sticky stuff

[Jemaine (and Bret)]
(Ohhh!) Come on, come on, baby, now!

[Jemaine (and Bret)]
People, people, paper, paper, paper, paper, people, people
People, people, pencil, pencil, pencil, pencil, paper, paper
Put the pencil to the paper
Give the paper to the people
Let the people read about the sellotape, oh, baby, baby (ooh baby!)
Yeah!

[Bret]
Oh!
[Jemaine (and Bret)}
Ooh ooh (woah-oh) ooh ooh-ooh (oh-woah), oh, (oh!) come on! (woah-oh) come on! (come on!) come on! (yeah!) come on! (whoo!) yeah! (oh-oh) yeah!

[Instrumental interlude, audience laughter]

[Bret (spoken)]
You know, Jemaine, recently, I've, uh, I've been—I've been thinking about love, about mutual love, that sort of love where two... y'know, two people, they love each other equally, like the love you have with, you know, with a loved one, and it's an equal love, and you give love equally, and it's—it's a, it's a feeling that's... it's amazing, it's a sorta... it's probably—you know, it's a wonderful thing. It's love at its best. It's love, y'know, it's, it's, uh, it's, y'know, it's probably the strongest adhesive available.

[Audience laughter]

[Jemaine]
(sighs)

Full on.

Bm-dsh!

[Bret (and Jemaine)]
Bwah! (Oh yeah!) Oooh! (Yeah!) What a feeling! (Whoo-hoo!) Can ya feel it? (Stick it together!) Oh, sticky! (Stick it together!) Yeah, stick it together! (Together, yeah!) Yeah, the really good! (Whoo!) Oh-oh...

{Jemaine and Bret]
Yeah....
