Lyrics for Little Faith as interpreted by tollelege

Little Faith Lyrics
Little faith, follow me
I set a fire in a blackberry field
Make us laugh, or nothing will
I set a fire just to see what it kills

Now I'm stuck in New York
And the rain's coming down
I don't feel like we'll go anywhere
Stuck in New York
And the rain's coming down
Still in line for the vanity fair

Leave our excellent souls
Head for the coast
Leave our excellent souls
Everything goes

All our lonely kicks are getting harder to find
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody cries
All our lonely kicks that make us saintly and thin
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody wins

Awesome prince, get your sleep
Lose your heart in history
Make us laugh or nothing will
I set a fire just to see what it kills

Don't be bitter, Anna
I know how you think
You're waiting for Radio City to sink
You'll find commiseration in everyone's eyes
The storm will suck the pretty girls into the sky

All our lonely kicks are getting harder to find
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody cries
All our lonely kicks that make us saintly and thin
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody wins

Leave our excellent souls
Head for the coast
Leave our excellent souls
Everything goes

Listening to the NYTimes stream right now and this is an easy early favorite. Awesome tune.

I think it's "All our lonely kicks will make us saintly and thin", instead of "seem anything" Works with the faith, nuns and priests imagery a bit better I find.

Like Conversation 16 this also feels like a facade. The two people in the song are trying to pretended that they are something that they are not, so much so that they (mostly she) starts to believe it's true; but reality kicks in and the pretense becomes harder and harder to maintain.

I think it's "Leave our red Southern souls" instead of "excellent souls". If you look at the photos of his lyrics booklet on the NYT website, it says "red southern souls".

With such a deep emphasis on Christian spirituality, hints of a journey, and a direct reference to the Vanity Fair, there may well be an allusion to Pilgrim's Progress floating around in this song.
