He's a miniature philosopher
He stands five foot three
So no one takes him seriously
He's in love with Gertrude Lullaby
But she doesn't care for him
He's like a house boy
to Miss Lullaby
And their future looks very dim
He's a miniature philosopher
He takes notes on all he reads
But that doesn't satisfy his needs
He's a desk clerk at the bank and trust
There's so many contracts and paperwork to do
He gets so busy at the bank and trust
There is no time for Nietzsche or Camus
He's a miniature philosopher
He writes essays on Voltaire
But if he died no one would care
He doesn't know why his life turned out this way
No one ever reads his dissertations or allegoric plays
So he comforts himself while searching a rhyme
That the public rarely recognize a genius in their time
(poor little guy)
He's a miniature philosopher
Though he hasn't got a friend
He's sure he'll be famous in the end
The lyrics MINITURE PHILOSOPHER of OF MONTREAL is also present in the album An introduction to of montreal (2001)
Of Montreal è un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi nel 1996 a Athens, Georgia, dal visionario Kevin Barnes. Il nome del gruppo deriva da una storia d'amore di Barnes con una ragazza di Montréal che si concluse bruscamente. Barnes ha fondato la band dopo aver lasciato il precedente gruppo The Gerbils. Of Montreal è noto per il suo sound psichedelico e pop, caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi surreali e arrangiamenti complessi. La band è strettamente legata al collettivo Elephant 6, un movimento musicale indie rock degli anni '90 che ha dato vita a numerosi artisti underground. Nel corso della sua carriera, Of Montreal ha pubblicato oltre dieci album, tra cui "Hissing Fauna Are You the Destroyer?" (2007), considerato uno dei loro lavori più influenti e celebrati dalla critica. Altri album importanti includono "Satanic Panic in the Attic" (2005) e "Lousy with Sylvianbriar" (2010). Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Of Montreal figurano "The Past is a Grotesque Animal", "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse", "Ghetto Love" e "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games".
