The Decemberists
Valerie Plame
Oh Valerie Plame, if that really is your name
I would just shout the same to the world
Dear Valerie Plame, so they made a wreck of you
But give me the rest of you and I'll give the world
But you were just some silly girl
Taking in the sights of your empire's colony
So I took you into my confidence
Without a thought of consequence to my heart or to my mind
But Valerie Plame, if that really is your name
I would just shout the same to the world
La da da de da
La da da de da
La da da de da
La da da de da
Oh Valerie Plame, if that really is your name
I would just shout the same from on high
Dear Valerie Plame, I'll look for that long exchange
Outside of the Bureau Change in Shanghai
But I was just some stupid boy on a bus
When your nom de guerre was Codename Caroline
And so my Vespa became your chariot
From the Green Zone Marriott to be etched upon my mind
But Valerie Plame, if that really is your name
I would just shout the same to the world
And when they flashed your picture 'cross the screen
How my heart seemed to leap out of me
And they attached a list of your identities
But the one you'll always be
Is Valerie Plame, if that really is your name
I would just shout the same to the world
Valerie Plame, if that really is your name
I would just shout the same to the world
La da da..hey hey Valerie Plame (x3)
