Text: Fountains Of Wayne. Utopia Parkway. Amity Gardens.

Angel broke her wing oh, you poor thing
The hum of the motor gave way to
The tick tick ticking of the clock and the rattle of springs
The Buick's in the drive, it's good to be alive

And if you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go home, wouldn't want to go
If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go to Amity Gardens again

It isn't very much, but for now it's home
A room in the shadow of a funny-looking man
On the phone to the bank about a default loan
I thank you very much, ta ta, we'll be in touch

And if you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go home, wouldn't want to go
If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go to Amity Gardens again

Where you came from and act like you tried
'Cause somethings are better kept deep down inside
But you're not driving you're along for the ride
Just checking out the scene and taking in the green

And if you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go home, wouldn't want to go
If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go to Amity Gardens

If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go home, wouldn't want to go
If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go to Amity Gardens

If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go home, wouldn't want to go
If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go to Amity Gardens

If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go home, wouldn't want to go
If you knew now what you knew then
