Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset

“Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset” - Modest MouseThis Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About (Up Records - 1996)

Changed my mind so much I can’t even trust it
My mind changed me so much I can’t even trust myself

Dramamine

Modest Mouse

And you think you’ve figured out everything 
I think I know my geography pretty damn well 

I’ve said what I said and you know what I mean 
But I can’t still focus on anything

I see it in your eyes like I taste your lips, and I’m very sorry

The World at Large

Modest Mouse

The World at Large by Modest Mouse; from the album Good News for People Who Love Bad News (2004)

This has got to honestly be on of the greatest songs of the 2000’s, by any artist. Trying to learn all the lyrics to this song.

    

Tuesday, March 26th 2013’s Song of the Day

Ice-age heat wave, can’t complain.
If the world’s at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan.
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
I move on to another day,
to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Got to the door and again, I couldn’t stop.
You don’t know where and you don’t know when.
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Walk along to another day.
Work a little harder, work another way.

Well uh-uh baby I ain’t got no plan.
We’ll float on maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
Well float on maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
It might not be a lot but I feel like I’m making the most.
The days get longer and the nights smell green.
I guess it’s not surprising but it’s spring and I should leave.

I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven’t gotten anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I’m caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Outside, water like air was great.
I didn’t know what I had that day.
Walk a little farther to another plan.
You said that you did, but you didn’t understand.

I know that starting over is not what life’s about.
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn’t hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud I couldn’t hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud.

Float On

Float On, Modest Mouse.


We’ll float on, good news is on the way.

Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset ; Modest Mouse

Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight 
Looking kind of anxious in your cross armed stance 
Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance 
And I claim I’m not excited with my life any more 
So I blame this town, this job, these friends 
The truth is it’s myself 
And I’m trying to understand myself 
And pinpoint where I am 
By the time I get things figured out 
I’ve change the whole damn plan 
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight 
Talking shit about a pretty sunset 
Blanketing opinions that I’ll probably reget soon 
I’ve changed my mind so much I can’t even trust it 
My mind changed me so much I can’t even trust myself
