I've got it all most
I've got it all almost all figured out
But always when i get there
Always when i get there all the pieces they just fall apart

I cant hear you
I cant hear you talk about your dreams involving me
I don't believe
I don't believe that they are any sort of prophecy at all

What a shock its Mr. sweet and awful
Don't look so pissed off we all lose the plot occasionally

How consistent
How can someone so consistently mess up as much as
Every instance
How can someone inconsistent mess up so consistently

What a shock its Mr. sweet and awful
Tell your gods i want to speak to their fathers
Look right now I'm standing on my haunches
I got caught stealing from the lost and found

Hey there Mr. sweet and awful
Hey there Mr. sweet and awful
Are you going somewhere
Or are you just walking through my walls

Hey there Mr. sweet and awful
Hey there Mr. sweet and awful
This is not a party this is a crowd

Hey there Mr. sweet and awful
You've got it easy I've got my needs
You say what you got
Wanting what you please

Hey there Mr. sweet and awful
Hey there Mr. sweet and awful
Carry yourself away with a delicious disease

I've got it all most
I've got it all almost all figured out

    to mcscumbag: you are the biggest hippocrit- you like the cd and then they get air play and you dislike them? that makes no sense. most of the idiots like you just say "modest mouse sucks and i never liked good news" but not you. you clearly are not as smart as those idiots. anyone who likes old modest mouse can NOT hate this album for any other reason than they got major radio play. and you will claim it is not true but alas you are a liar. for instance: isaac's manic ravings in bury me with it are nearly identical with the manic ravings in the bridge of doin the cockroach. with songs like this devils workday and satin in a coffin you can't say their sound was changed to get airplay. those are so unlike anything that are on the radio. a band should be judged by their music and nothing else. by disliking good news for your stupid reasons you are missing out on really good music.

    I think the song is simply about third party observations of very annoying people...which is basically 95% of the world (especially Mcscum). The Mouse is the Mouse...and just like boys become men...all people change to some degree...even musicians. There was a song written about people like you McScum...called Hooker with a Penis..look it up and go cry yourself to sleep...and don't get your hopes up...Brocks not gonna write a bad ass song about you!

    This song is so underrated. I think some of the best lyrics Isaac has produced and that's really saying something. Dude is my Bob Dylan.

    i just discovered MM about two months ago and i was smoking a lot of weed at the time. having never herd any of their songs before on the radio or anywhere else i was completely awe struck by the awesomeness that is Modest Mouse, almost to the point of tears...

    this was one of the first songs i herd and im just throwin up some love for this song, missed the boat, bukowski, fire it up, worm vs birds, Dramamine and so so many more...

    MM changed my life

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is about their drummer Jeremiah (Jeremy) Green. He suffered a nervous breakdown and temporarily quit the band in 2003, just before the sessions for Good News For People Who Love Bad News began (the album to which this song is an outtake from).

    "What a shock its Mr. sweet and awful Don't look so pissed off we all lose the plot occasionally"

    • In the book, Modest Mouse: A Pretty Good Read by Adam Goldsher, it is revealed that before Jeremiah left the band, he was struggling with bi-polar behavior, usually lashing out at the other band members for no real reason and then hiding in some corner of the studio.

    "How consistent How can someone so consistently mess up as much as Every instance How can someone inconsistent mess up so consistently"

    -Also possibly about his bi-polar behavior prior to quitting the band. In the book it says that he barely made any effort to play the drums properly for the new song demos, meaning that he lost consistency with drumming abilities. This theory is a little more far fetched, but it seems viable. The "inconsistent" part could be referring to his crazy behavioral patterns at the time.

    Judging from the amount of turmoil surrounding Modest Mouse in the 2003-2004 era, it seems like their longtime drummer and (I would imagine) best friend's leaving the band on unfriendly, mentally unstable terms would be good fuel for a wry new song.

    I always thought it said standin on my "haunches" haunches sounds better to me, rather than fortunes. Than i also thought it said, "I got class, stole it from the lost & found"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
