::School Week:: Vampire Weekend - Campus
Well, I give up on the whole finding a positive song about school. And you know what? Its because school sucks. Sure you learn some stuff and I'm definitely not advocating dropping out of school, but I'm not advocating not dropping out school either. Learn what you want to learn for the love of Pete. And who knows, maybe something good can come out of school. Like a fling with a foxy professor, which is what our next song deals with.
Vampire Weekend's first self titled album blasted them into fame after they graduated from a New York prep school. Sure they may be a couple of smart rich J.Crew kids who sing about Oxford Commas, rickshaws, diplomats and ion displacement, but, hey, its good music. "Campus" is, as stated, about a lustful semester with a purdy prof. The ascending bass and bright, cheery synths give this song a very happy energetic feel, and who can resist cracking a smile at the line "I spilled kefir on your keffiyeh?"
I wake up
My shoulder's cold
I've got to leave here
Before I go
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
Then I see you
You're walking cross the campus
Cruel professor
Studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
Walk to class
In front of ya
Spilled kefir
On your keffiyah
You look inside
And turn to the door
Drag your feet across the floor
Then I see you
You're walking cross the campus
Cruel professor
Studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
In the afternoon
You're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony
After class
