Lost Treasures and Elusive Necessities: Unraveling Grizzly Bear's 'Marla'
Lyrics
I've looked everywhere, Mr. Forbes
I have thoroughly searched, Mr. Forbes.
But I can't find the cello or yet the french horn
I cannot locate the cello or the French horn.
And I can't find the harp
The harp is also missing, and I don't know its whereabouts.
I don't know where it's gone
I am uncertain about where it has disappeared to.
And of course, you can't go without that
It's crucial, and you cannot go without it.
I've looked everywhere, Mr. Forbes
I have extensively searched, Mr. Forbes.
But I can't find your clamshells
The clamshells you own are not found.
Your file or your drill
Neither the file nor the drill is in my findings.
And your sheepskin-lined coat is eluding me still
Your sheepskin-lined coat is also escaping my search.
And of course, you can't go without that
Similar to the previous instance, it is indispensable.
I've looked in the attic, the cellar and hall
I have searched in various places – the attic, cellar, and hall.
I've looked in the studio, study and all
My search has extended to the studio, study, and all areas.
I've looked in the chest where I thought it should be
I looked in the chest where I believed it should be.
I've looked in the greenhouses, one, two and three
Exploring the greenhouses, specifically one, two, and three.
I've looked everywhere, Mr. Forbes
Again, I have searched thoroughly, Mr. Forbes.
But I can't find the dagger and oh why oh why
The dagger is not found, and there's a sense of frustration.
Can't I think what I did with that ol' skill and dye
Expressing confusion about the location of a skill and dye.
And of course, you can't go without that
Similar to earlier lines, emphasizing the essential nature of the missing item.
You can't possibly go without that
Reiterating the importance of not being able to go without that particular item.
