Sweater Lyrics

it was like this in 1874

it was like this when you were a child

it was like this when i was a whore, well

there were massive troops on the back of the isles

they were saying those things, they were all in denial

they were talkin about their own front

let me tell it like, it smelled like shit and they

and theyre eatin popcorn out of a dish

theyre sayin "i wish, i wish, i wish"

i was there in 1999, i was left and i left my old self behind

still livin but you know im not denying

said what i said, and i said this

in 1918 things were better when i was nothin but a sweater

now im born again as another man

im livin on this in this foreign land

i used to be andora, angora fleece, isnt no sound and i eat in peace

and noone knew, and noone cared, and you didnt know whether you wanted to dare

its not what you were thinkin them and as your resurrection breathed out cinnamon

and i was not to be confused

and then in 1882 they still sold it to those fucks

things have been goin wrong since the beginning

and noone was loosin and noone was winning

they just fucked each other up

and in 1999 i was in a park in chicago

oh that was nice

he was like a father and he know what he was sayin and waitModest Mouse - Sweater - http://motolyrics.com/modest-mouse/sweater-lyrics.html

im not talkin about this bullshit

and i went to talk to the more italian boys who hung out there

they said that they would rather see me dead or at least not kept

and they broke my jaw and i was left to thaw

and i walked away and i called my mom and said

hell yeah it sucked yeah i loved it break my jaw now!

you hang on you hang on

you got your rent on and you were just sayin uhh

one thing you remembered you were never even once bein cleaver

then you were, when sleepin, you were sleepin when their sayin when there was a phone yeah

mistakes were made and i ended up in florida

things were not right i didnt care though

what ya do, and what ya become, either way ya end up all dumb

thats all right with me now, thats all right with me now 1-2 1-2 me with

the troops they were massing on the porch, they wanted to be the only thorn

and in the court of the goff goff senate i hear things are better and noones really tougher

and your talkin loud and your talkin proud in your trumpet now.. ohhhhhhhh shit!

well ya said then, what ya meant then, what ya did then, was ya wanna have sex

and you did not do, you could not do, ya could not pull out but ya tried to

then ya said well i dont need, i dont need to wear myself a bikini today!

it brings me to the embarassment, i was sittin on a raft in pond sediment

and they said hell yeah, oh hell yeah, you looked naked for shit but you were drunk you didnt care

well what were you thinkin

[Isaac (after song):] so if anyones recording this show, if i could have a copy of that... uhmmm cause its the only time ill ever hear that either...
