The 8th track, Fool- like many other tracks on Leisure- brings the guitars and vocals to the forefront of the song. In the chorus, there is a brief break to a heavier use of guitar, releasing the tension again in the verses.
[Verse 1]
Sorry, but I don't understand
The things you say, they make no sense at all
Funny, but I think that you mean them all this time, don't you?
[Chorus]
I know that you think I'm a fool
But couldn't you try to forgive a fool
One more time?
[Verse 2]
Sorry, but I'm not really listening
I've got my mind on something else
And sometimes I wonder if I'm here
If I'm here at all
[Chorus]
I know that you want me to go, don't you?
Well, it's not as easy as it seems
I know that you think I'm not here at all
But I'm just as fed up as you
I know that you want me to leave
I'm amazed at how cold you can be
Well, may my weak and insipid soul grow stronger in your absence
