Tarkio Tristan And Iseult lyrics

"Would you like to go out tonight?"
Said Tristan to Iseult
"It's a lovely night to go to the Odeon
Sit in the back row, sick of staying in"

So they threw on some clothes
Walked slowly down the street
Lit by lantern light

Through the market square
Studied the marquee
Bought two tickets and some popcorn

And on the screen, the hero stands
The female lead, hand in hand
And says, "God I love you but you trouble me"
She pushes him away

And as the credits role
Tristan turned to Iseult
Said, "What did ya think?"

"It was okay, I guess

That story's pretty old
It's a bit clich'd and hackneyed
I thought; I thought"

And back out on the street
They stopped for some ice cream
Talking quietly

There was nobody
In the room in which they sat
As he reached across the table

And just as their fingers caught
Timidly, he whispers to her and says
"God, I love you but you trouble me"

Said Tristan to Iseult
Said Tristan to Iseult
Said Tristan to Iseult
