Modest Mouse – King Rat Lyrics 17 years ago
"I took your laugh by the collar", that shit doesn't make sense either, I'm pretty damn sure it's "lab", and the other line is "hole-in" not "hole and". At least I'm trying to contribute something to the goddamn lyrics instead of bitching about how other people are wrong.

And that line is definitely "burned out rat of a child" not "rag doll rat of a child".

Modest Mouse – King Rat Lyrics 18 years ago
ok, someone took off the wrong lyrics and posted their own set of wrong lyrics. the song goes something like this:
___________________________________________________

(Heh heh, I love this shit)

Well!
Well!
Well!
Well

We spun like birds on fire right
Down towards the residence and I
I took all that I desired
Even crooks have to pay the rent

We swam like rats on fire right
Right down the reservoir
We took all that we could carry
But we tried to carry more

You know, you know,
You know it all went wrong
You know, you know,
You know it was all wrong

We choked on street tap water
Well, I'm gonna have to try the real thing
I took your lab by the collar
And it knew not to swing

Anytime I tried an honest job
Well the till had a hole in ha-ha
We laughed about paying rent
Cuz the county jails, they're free

You know, you know,
You know it was all wrong
You know, you know,
You know it was all wrong

Deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll
(Heavy?) with child

Well deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll
(Heavy?) with child

Well, oh lucky lucky lucky lucky me again
I said it looks like it's time to use my feet again
Well, I just spent my last $100
God, I'll pay my bail again

I don't care

I just don't care

Deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll
(Shooken and shy?)

Deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I went down like a burned out
rat of a child

Well,
King Rat has me on his list again
I can never be on the fence again
Well, I found out it's all loud
Open like an organ and it
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk again
Well he promised me that when I cheated them
That I could open my (heart?), well
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky,
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again

Deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I got fed like a fish
Full of open smiles

Well blue water, deep water
Oh senseless denial
I got fed a fist
by the (cop fuck's smile?)

Well!
Well!

What do you have to say for yourself?
I said well well!
Well!
I said well, well, well, well, well!

Lucky lucky lucky lucky me again
I hardly knew I should use my feet again
What do you have to say for yourself?
What do you have to say for yourself?

obviously i'm still unsure about some of the lyrics. maybe someone else can shed some light on it, but that's the closest i can get.

Modest Mouse – Broke Lyrics 18 years ago
I want to make a few minor corrections here. At least I think they're correct.

"You said that I was an asshole and I paid the price" is "You said that I was an asshole and I'd pay the price" makes more sense like that anyway, I think

"...it should be bronze by now" is "...it should be bronzed by now". you know, like when you bronze a phrase it's like putting it in a plaque or something.

I barely have an idea of what he says after the "Uh-oh's" but to me it sounds like
"It looks like everything wants everything to go wrong" even though that makes no sense.

And also, I don't think he says "the topic" at the very end it just sounds like he says "You don't even know-oh"

this is all from the Building Nothing Out Of Something version

Modest Mouse – Alone Down There Lyrics 18 years ago
im not gonna say "im gonna piss in your asshole" to you annie516...but im gonna say your analysis was the most retarded thing i have ever read in my life.

you can never tell what isaac's tryin to get through in his songs, but you can always bet it's got something to do with religion or drug use or society. this song has to do with all three i think, just read the lines. it definitely doesn't have to do with his goddamn dick - isaac's no dumbass rapper who sings about his genitals. go listen to 50 cent annie, you fucking loser.

Modest Mouse – I've Got It All (Most) Lyrics 18 years ago
Correct lyrics:

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 can't hear you
I can't 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 it's Mr. Sweet and Awful
Well 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 it's 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

Well hey there Mr. Sweet and Awful
You see, 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

Modest Mouse – Calculus Man Lyrics 18 years ago
the lyrics here aren't fully correct, i've tried correcting them as best i can it's just kinda hard to hear them through the distorted, watery vocals. i may still be wrong but this is what i hear -

These stars
They shine on
They get on
The planet

The stars they shine on
They shine on this planet

The stars are projectors
Projecting our lives on down to this planet

The stars they are on
And projecting our lives on to
This planet
Fine
I don't care if they do

And the stars
They’re projecting our lives on down to
This planet
Oh yeah
The (films?) are watching as you
And said how
You get on your knee
You're mouthing my mood
If you were talking out loud
You’d say, “Uh, how’d they do?”

And I can't get my mouth
And my words
They can’t make use
To my mouth out of or my brain

And you say what you do
When you do what you said
You’re talking out of tune
You’re talking out of threat
I want what
I get on
I get off
I get the things you don’t want

And I walk to my head
And I walk through my hell
And I walk through my head
And I know I ain't going nowhere
And I talk to myself
And I talk to my head
And I’m walkin' round
The planets they revolve around themselves
They evolve
If you were talking to God
You were talking to mom
And you were saying things loud
Your mouth was movin' out loud
You said, “I can’t”

And the planets projecting us all around

And the stars
They're projecting our lives on this earth
And the stars are projectors
Projecting our lives on to this earth

I want you playing out
You moved your mouth and you said what you were worth

Modest Mouse – King Rat Lyrics 18 years ago
thegnu's definitely got the lyrics figured out except for a few things. He might be completely right but this is what i hear

"I went down like a rag doll rat of a child" is "I went down like a burned out rat of a child" and "I could open my hall" is "I could open my heart"

and on the 1st "I went down like a rag doll / Heavy with child" it sounds like he says something different then "Heavy with child" but I don't know what

about the meaning of the song I'm not sure but i think King Rat represents God or some other high authority figure and how fucked up our system is.

Modest Mouse – Edit the Sad Parts Lyrics 18 years ago
A lot of people say that the first 4 lines of this song describes their entire life, but don't think that you're the only ones that feel that way. I believe that everyone, no matter how stupid or how much of an asshole people might think of them, can relate to those 4 lines. That shows how much of a fucking genius Isaac Brock is; to have that ability to word thoughts and emotions that every human being goes through in simple, metaphoric songwriting is a true gift. And it's not just the first 4 lines of this song, the entire song is so meaningful, as is the rest of his songs. If I was smart enough to write songs with a deep, meaningful style and in a non-emo tone, Isaac Brock would be my major influence.

Chevelle – The Red Lyrics 19 years ago
Chevelle is not Christian rock. Chevelle friggin rocks and Christian rock sucks horse crap. God sucks too. He can kiss my ass.

This song is about gettin fired up in a rage and breaking shit. That's what this song makes me want to do anyway. And that's what was on the music video.

Modest Mouse – Willful Suspension of Disbelief Lyrics 20 years ago
That's what atheist means; someone who doesn't believe in heaven and hell and all that stuff. That's what this song is saying; that you're not going to find heaven or hell no matter how far you dig or how high you go up because they don't exist. And even though Isaac says that he's atheist I dont think it's entirely true. From what I got from some of his other songs, it would seem like sometimes he would like to believe that there is a heaven, cause it's a pretty depressing thought that there will be no afterlife after you die. I'm the same way.

I totally agree with BoTkIn. Just read the song line for line. The only line that may stand out about thugs beating up a kid is "Of men that don't bother with the taste of a teat". This could just be a metaphor though, about how the kid (who is, apparently, a pothead because he's talking about his hash pipe) getting beat up is a wussy or something.

OK guys sorry i am very sorry about all my last posts my idiot brother was using my username to post shit. But I would like to say that I am happy that MM released Float On to the mainstream and on MTV. Thats like a career boost for Isaac so you people should feel happy for him because hes probably rolling in money right now. And I've got to confess that I never even knew MM existed before Float On. When I heard that song I decided to check out other MM stuff and now I own 6 of their albums.
