ten pounds - mumford's lyrics

look who’s on the tv
it’s uncle andy
watch him make some coffee
watch him laugh at aunt sally
uncle andy, you’re so funny
they should put you in a movie
uncle andy, listen to reason
and you’ll get picked up for a second season

and when you do
so much wealth will accrue to you
that you could buy a new house and new car too
provide for yourself and a child or two
it was hard on aunt sally when you lost your job
left the door unlocked and the store got robbed
started staying out late and drinking a lot
you needed something to do
until a tv producer offered you
a hundred grand a year if he could film what you do
and put it on a tv show named after you

uncle andy’s talking funny
impersonating aunt sally
when he’s drunk he’s angry
and when he’s angry it’s funny
no! don’t hit aunt sally!
you’re gonna owe her a lot of money
now here come the police
you could be in jail for a couple of weeks

is it true
that the camera puts ten pounds on you?
you sure look heavy in that orange suit
i’m crying some, but i’m laughing too
what did you do?
aunt sally’s eye is black and blue
your family is ashamed of you
except for me, i’m still proud of you
because i know that fame is granted to very few
you’re a special man with a camera crew
your reality show is your life times two

look who’s crying on the tv
it’s poor uncle andy
talking about the drinking and beating
at his aa meeting
trial separation from aunt sally
moving in with uncle marty
i almost feel like he can see me
he’s looking right through the tv
is there something left to believe in?
i guess we’ll find out next season

and when we do
i’ll be the first one there to congratulate you
it’s out of love when i impersonate you
i love you more as my father hates you
this part is true:
i’m your brother’s daughter and a big fan, too
i’d appreciate some cash on my birthday from you
i think that’s the least that my uncle can do
i wish i knew
why the camera puts ten pounds on you
when it’s filming everything that you do
you wear a price tag now, from my point of view
and maybe someday i’ll have my own show too
someday, i’ll have my own show too
