singalong: settle down by kimbra

This weekend's singalong is Kimbra's Settle Down. Kimbra is super cool. Her voice is unique, her lyrics are clever, her music has heft, and did you see her sweet moves? There might be a layer of darkness I'm missing in this song (especially judging from the music video), but I first was drawn to this song not only for its sweet tune, but because it seemed refreshingly rare to hear a song about wanting to get domestic come from a strong, artistic, empowered female voice.

SETTLE DOWN

by Kimbra

I wanna settle down

I wanna settle down

Won't you settle down with me?

Settle down

We can settle at a table

A table for two

Won't you wine and dine with me?

Settle down

I wanna raise a child

I wanna raise a child

Won't you raise a child with me?

Raise a child

We'll call her Nebraska

Nebraska Jones

She'll have your nose

Just so you know

I wanna settle down

I wanna settle down

Won't you settle down with me?

Settle down

Run from Angela Vickers

I saw her with you

Monday morning small talking on the avenue

She's got a fancy car

She wants to take you far

From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark

Star so light and star so bright

First star I see tonight!

Star so light and star so bright

Keep him by side!

I wanna settle down

I wanna settle down

Baby there's no need to run

I'll love you well

I wanna settle down

It's time to bring you down

On just one knee for now

Let's make our vows

Star so light and star so bright

First star I see tonight!

Star so light and star so bright

Keep him by side!
