Buffalo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Breathe on me, my buffalo
Your hide warms to a warning
Of a death without words
I am ill after swallowing
Cups of pride; inside it pains me
With a bitterness I loathe
For the future tributes to Thom Sonny Green
Breathe on me, my buffalo
Your hide warms to a warning
Of a death without words
I am ill after swallowing
Cups of pride; inside it pains me
With a bitterness I loathe
For the future tributes to Thom Sonny Green
[Chorus]
The buffalo from Buffalo
Who are buffaloed by the buffalo
From Buffalo, buffalo
Other buffalo from Buffalo
[Outro]
And all's above lay to pay tribute to
The future death of our Thom Sonny Green
Breathe on me, my buffalo
Your hide warms to a warning
Of a death without words
I am ill after swallowing
Cups of pride; inside it pains me
With a bitterness I loathe
For the future tributes to Thom Sonny Green
Breathe on me, my buffalo
Your hide warms to a warning
Of a death without words
I am ill after swallowing
Cups of pride; inside it pains me
With a bitterness I loathe
For the future tributes to Thom Sonny Green
[Chorus]
The buffalo from Buffalo
Who are buffaloed by the buffalo
From Buffalo, buffalo
Other buffalo from Buffalo
[Outro]
And all's above lay to pay tribute to
The future death of our Thom Sonny Green
About
Genius Annotation
Written for the soundtrack of Silver Linings Playbook and featuring Mountain Man (best known for backing Feist), “Buffalo” is a beautiful track that many agree showcases all of the versatility and talent that make so much of Alt-J’s music an instant classic.
As Spin magazine puts it:
The intricately gloaming track neatly demonstrates the hybrid of rootsy folk and future-bent electronics that helped the band’s September debut An Awesome Wave nab Britain’s Mercury Prize.
