"Fits & Starts" lyrics - THE DECEMBERISTS
All rise for the commandant as he addresses from the promenade, hold tight
We were having such a fine time
We were covered in a sweet rime, all right
But they got it all wrong at the FSO
Got us wound so taught that we're champing to go
Now we're all broke loose and we're coming on
It fits and starts
It fits and starts
It fits and starts
Fits and fits and fits and starts
I was watching on the apparat
Some comely little apparatchik felled
We were having such a fine time
We were sweating out a sweet rime, unshelled
But they got it all wrong at the FSO
Got us wound so taught that we're champing to go
Now we're all broke loose and we're coming on
It fits and starts
It fits and starts
It fits and starts
Fits and fits and fits and starts
Fits and starts
