Decemberists, The - Philomena Lyrics
Oh, Philomena, you in a tawdry gown,
Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down.
A cure to your boredom if only you'd let me go
Down, down down
Boys all at idle, left to their own devices
Open up your linen lap and let me go
Down, down, down
All that I wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl
But I found I quickly bored. I wanted more. I wanted more
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
And I'll be your lashing loop of a leatherette
And dark Philomena, if only you'd let me go
All that I wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl
But I found I quickly bored. I wanted more, oh, so much more
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
And I'll be your lashing loop of a leatherette
And dark Philomena, if only you'd let me go
Down, down down
Go down, down, down
Go down
Go down

Decemberists, The Philomena Comments
I wanted more, I wanted more
I feel like this is/(was?) perfect for the soundtrack of Masters Of Sex...
Just yesterday I realized, much to my shock, that I had been singing about eating pussy for about 3 years or so. Jesus... 😂
when there is actually a song with your name in it and it's the "dirtiest Decemberists song ever written" hahahaha
The name.....right!!!!...and then i hear "dark Philomena" haha
you think you've got it bad? my decemberists song is about me getting raped and forced into a suicide pact
Sleeper band of the decade
Literally the best song ever written about cunnilingus.
I love Colin for this song
Love this Band. The Lake Song is just sheer poetry and o'h so very relevant in so many lives.
I totally agree! XD

Underrated comment
Oh, Philomena, you in a tawdry gown,
Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down.
A cure to your boredom if only you'd let me go
Down, down down
Long summer days can lead to lazy vices
Boys all at idle, left to their own devices
Open up your linen lap and let me go
Down, down, down
All that I wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl
But I found I quickly bored. I wanted more. I wanted more
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
And I'll be your lashing loop of a leatherette
And dark Philomena, if only you'd let me go
Down, down down
All that I wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl
But I found I quickly bored. I wanted more, oh, so much more
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
And I'll be your lashing loop of a leatherette
And dark Philomena, if only you'd let me go
Down, down down
Go down, down, down
Go down
Go down
the beginning of the song sounds like an american t.v. commercial but i cannot distinguish which commercial which has been bothering me!!!!
It might be the Nationwide commercials? The song is "You Don't Know Me" by Ben Folds!
It absolutely is, and I couldn't be happier that his music has been featured in two commercials this past year. "You Don't Know Me" and "Cologne".
Chelsea Morales pretty sure it sounds like a Vons commercial
THIS SONG IS ABOUT CUNNILINGUS
+revolverA I love how you said that with such a sense of discovery. Here, have a like.
+Martin Holck Thank you kind sir. A young lady said this exact thing to me. Except replace 'like' with 'lick'
@***** :(

looks like the men are on top for once....lolz
"I think this is my attempt of making a portrait — a bundling idea of what human sexuality is and could be. It started out as this very innocent chord progression and a melody that was so pristine and ‘50s innocent that it felt like it needed to be dirtied up significantly, and out came the dirtiest Decemberists song ever written." - Colin Meloy
I love this song, it's so sweet.
love/hate
I love The Decemberists GREAT JOB GUYS!
So so so Elvis Costello ish, n'est-ce pa mes little chic
