The National

The National is an indie rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999 and currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The band's lyrics, which have been described as "dark, melancholy and difficult to interpret", are written and sung by Matt Berninger, a baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: twins Aaron (guitar and keyboard) and Bryce Dessner (guitar) and Scott (bass) and Bryan Devendorf (drums). The National has been compared to Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Wilco and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. The name of the band was chosen because it "didn't mean anything" and was "benign and meaningless". more »

no nobody wants to be
no no one's lover
no matter what they say
lovers know they are the ones
who one day have to go

trophy wives
I know they wander
and find a young young man
trophy wives
I know they wander

one time you were a good rabbit
to all the girls
and all their lovely mothers
you tried a piece of everything
now nothing turns you on

trophy wives
I know they wander
and find a young young man
trophy wives
I know they wander

run run baby I don't feel alive
but I'm pretty and I'm pretty sure
I'm gonna be alright to drive
to new jack city for a younger man
with a better brain

I fell in love with you
no matter what you say
but you were right about the reasons
I don't want to be
what I'm becoming

your trophy wife
I know they wander
and find a young young man
you trophy wife
I know they wander
and find a young man
your trophy wife
I know they wander
