Track #4 on Fiona Apple’s fourth studio album The Idler Wheel Is Wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More than Ropes Will Ever Do.
While chatting with Interview Magazine, Fiona explained that the song is named after Jonathan Ames, the American author and screenwrite...
[Verse 1]
Jonathan, call again
Take me to Coney Island
Take me on the train
Kiss me while I calculate
And calibrate and heaven's sakes
Don't make me explain
[Chorus]
Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
[Verse 2]
Jonathan, anything
And anyone you have done
Has gotta be alright with me
If she's part of the reason
You are how you are
She's alright with me
[Chorus]
Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
[Bridge]
You'd like to captain a capsized ship
But I like watching you live
You'd like to captain a capsized ship
But I like watching you live
[Verse 3]
Jonathan, call again
Take me to Coney Island
Take me on the train
Kiss me while I calculate
And calibrate and heaven's sakes
Don't make me explain
[Chorus]
Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
