“The Confession” is Track #14 on Oh! The Grandeur by Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire.
Andrew Bird recycled much of the lyrics and instrumentation of this song a decade later in the song “The Privateers”, Track #12 on his 2009 solo studio album Noble Beast.
Don't tell me anything...anyhow
Your contribution, proposed solution fails for now
Cause I can see your house from here
Now the leaves have fallen, dear
You're such a little privateer
As your confession draws more near
Don't sell me anything...of any kind
Your one time offer is so uncalled for
You call it piece of mind
But I don't want your life insurance
Home auto health fire insurance
Just make this basic inference
Employs a little common sense
Time and again I find I'm listless or rather fistless
In time that's what I find
Carry me to Mecca with what you may divine
Take me with you, take me with you, don't leave me behind
Don't tell me anything...anyhow
Your trite donation, commercialization
Won't hold water now
Cause I can see your ship from here
Now the weather's bright and clear
You're such a little privateer
As your confession draws near
The Confession was written by Andrew Bird.
Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire released The Confession on Tue Aug 24 1999.
