The song Wishing For Contentment is performed by Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire in the album named Oh! The Grandeur in the year 1999 .
Send Wishing For Contentment Ringtone to your Cell
Well, you know sometimes
I find myself
Wishing for contentment
Hoping for relentment
Venting my resentment
On the happy few, on the happy few, yeah
Awaiting resolution
And dreams of restitution
But finding retribution
Is just another thing to do
'Cause you've got to keep yourself busy
Visit aunt Lizzy
Just see how she's been
But when you're making a late run
Two judgmental matrons retort
See what I mean?
A seeming reprobation
Perhaps, it's my vocation
Oh, nauseous elation
Comes to mind but fades so soon, ah
Wishing for contentment
Hoping for relentment
Venting my resentment
On the happy few
Yes, I'm awaiting resolution
And dreams of restitution, restitution
Finding retribution
Is just another thing
You've got to keep yourself busy
Visit aunt Lizzy
Just see how she's been
But when you're making a late run
Two judgmental matrons retort
See what I mean?
A seeming reprobation
Perhaps, it's my vocation
Oh, nauseous elation
Comes to mind but fades so soon
It fades so soon
It fades so soon
