LyricMeaning

Practical Amanda
Ben Folds & Nick Hornby

Who'd look at that dump and see a home?

Why not move in somewhere easy?

Urinals where bedrooms ought to be

Who could be bothered, really?


You're really good at all that stuff

The nuts and bolts of living

Curtains, blinds and kitchen tables


I've got no time for dates and plans

No I'm too busy dreaming

You're the one with the attention span

You're not the free wheeler


Practical, practical

Amanda

Saved one life

And made two others

Practical Amanda


Who'd look at me


And see someone

That might be

Worth redeeming

Head and heart

And soul fucked up

Who could be bothered, really?


I've got no time for dates and plans

No I'm too busy dreaming

You're the one with the attention span

Practical Amanda


Practical, practical

Amanda

Saved one life

And made two others

Practical Amanda
