Sellotape
Flight of the Conchords

[Brett's voice narrating]

Dear Jermaine, by the time you read this, I will be far, far away, at Coco's house, and I will no longer be residing--

And that is just one of the reasons why I'm moving out. You didn't seem to understand th--

And the most important thing for me to say is that--

Do you remember that time that seagull--

Yours sincerely, Brett.

[Jermaine]

Lives are like retractable pencils

If you push them too hard theyre gonna break

And people are like paper dolls

Paper dolls and people, theyre a similar shape

Hmm hmm hm hmm

[Brett]

Love is like a roll of tape

Its real good for making two things one

[Jermaine]

But just like the roll of tape

Love sometimes breaks off before you were done

[Brett]

Another way that love is similar to tape

That Ive noticed

Is sometimes its hard to see the end

[Together]

You search on the roll (search on the roll)

Search on the roll (searching round the roll)

Search on the roll (search)

[Together]

With your finger nail

Again and again

And again and again

[Jermaine]

And again...

[Brett]

Whoa, whoa

[Together]

Brown paper, white paper

Stickin' together with the tape

The tape of love

The sticky stuff

[Jermaine]

Brett.

[Brett]

Hey man. What are you doing here?

[Jermaine]

Mary and I miss you and we want you to rejoin the band again.

[Brett]

Really?

[Jermaine]

Yeah, on one condition. That you...

[Brett]

I'm not gonna kill her man.

[Jermaine]

No, just leave-- just leave her, not--

[Brett]

Oh no I'm not gonna leave her, I told you that. You know, I like the band, but no I'm not leaving Coco.

[Coco]

I wouldn't mind. I mean if that's what you really wa--

[Brett]

Shush, baby.

[Coco]

I don't-- I don't really see us as a long term--

[Brett]

Shush.

[Jermaine]

So what's it gonna be man? The girl or the band?

[Brett]

Well it's gonna be Coco.

[Jermaine]

Oh. Are you sure?

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Jermaine]

Oh I thought you... I was sure you were gonna say the band.

[Brett]

No I'm staying with Coco.

[Jermaine]

I guess you can still be in the band

[Brett]

Okay.

[Jermaine]

Okay. Okay well I'll see you later. Actually I'm gonna wait til the bus stops, and then... get off.

[Together]

Brown paper, white paper

Stickin' together with the tape

The tape of love

The sticky stuff

[Jermaine]

Oooh hoo

People people

Paper paper

Paper paper

People people

People people

Pencil Pencil

Paper paper

Put the pencil to the paper

Give the paper to the people

Let the people read about the sello tape

Oh baby baby yeah

[Brett]

You know, Jermaine, Ive been thinking about love. And I guess its the very strongest adhesive.

[Jermaine]

Oh sorry, Bret. Were you talking to me? I was humming. What did you say?

[Brett]

No, doesn't matter.

[Together]

Brown paper, white paper

Stickin' together with the tape

The tape of love

The sticky stuff

Yeah

Ooh brown

Brown paper, white paper

Stickin' together with the tape

The tape of love

Stick

Stickin' together

Stick stick stickin' together

Yeah yeah
