Cavetown – "Lemon Boy" (Official Audio)

I dedicate this song to my angry cat.

my brother says he doesn't like this song, but I caught him singing yesterday

yes . fuck . it . up . robin .

Your music makes me want to write 14 books in 2 weeks

the person who disliked this r probably the more savory type

Why did I think of lemongrab from adventure Time throughout the whole song

Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around where ever I love Moomins how did I not realize this lyric???

This song is literally just so pretty

This song makes me want to read a book that doesn’t exist

the bitterest boyes in town....

Cavetown's music makes my loneliness feel like it has a friend.

i will recommend this to my friends, family, all the dogs. v nice.

i just randomly found this song and now im obsessed what a good sound love the album!

A BOP

I just realized that in this song he says “Like Snufkin and Little My” after listening to this song for years. I got into the Moominvalley fandom somewhat recently so I was so happy to find out he referenced it in his song (besides of course the songs he wrote for Moominvalley). I was confused at first as to why he said Little My instead of Moomintroll since him and Snufkin are two peas in a pod, but then I realized that Little My is supposed to represent Lemon Boy since they’re both grumpy and bitter and it all made sense.

idk why but hearing someone like robbie mention the moomins gives me actual shivers because that's one of those shows that kind of feels like you're the only one in the world who watches it and like you kinda just made it up in your brain for comfort

There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy" He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed And like weeds do he only came and grew back again So, I figured this time I might as well let him be [Chorus] Lemon Boy and me started to get along together I’d help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him So, I got myself a citrus friend [Verse 2] But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me You’d think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type And they weren’t too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie [Chorus] So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together I’ll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him So, I got myself a citrus friend [Bridge] But what if I run out of fertiliser What if the clouds run out of rain What if Lemon Boy won’t grow no longer What if the beaches dry of sugarcane Oh well The whales start to beach themselves The tortoise shells tear away from their spines It happens all the time, it happens all the time [Pre-Chorus] Lemon Boy and I, we’re gonna live forever Like Snufkin and Little My, we’ll get around wherever [Chorus] Lemon Boy and I, we’re gonna live forever Like Snufkin and Little My, we’ll get around wherever It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him [Outro] 'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town Yeah, we’re the bitterest guys around And I got myself a citrus friend

my ears are blessed
