Modest Mouse – The Fruit That Ate Itself Lyrics 18 years ago
here is what i had in my old notebook/laptop (circa 2000 so its probably horribly wrong)

got yaself a muffin and you got yourself a muffin, and you think you're pretty tough but you aint got nothin, and you're goin to the store maybe you'll get an animal maybe you'll get lucky maybe you'll go to hell...

(overlay by main vocals) you got yourself muffin you're a black hole talking about nothin

dont know what you're saying you thought that i heard you but i was listenin to my headphones

so you got yourself and you wanted different view so you searched the whole wide island and ya went into the s'loon (saloon) and got yaself some water

walk across the country and you pick a pick-pocket but you do not get what you already got, and you get on the train where you usually kiss some butt you won an house and you feel ok

well you ache in your bones and you're too insane and you can't can't can't replay, but you complain and its already nothing and you go two notes and eat yourself a muffin

(repeat the walk the island lyrics and salloon)

it sucks but its a lot better than anything anybody else came up with

Modest Mouse – Tundra/Desert Lyrics 20 years ago
this is my version, everyone was from my own


Every sick, fickle fucker
Childhood's what makes ya
Till they treat ya like tundra
Weigh those opinions
More like air than lead
Every planned occupation
Surefire disappointment up ahead
Till they treat ya like desert
See mirages of friendship, face turns read

-aaawww shit!

I don't feel and that feels fine,
save twenty dollars (and you should rest fine?)
I don't Like-

Here's the soon to be anchor
Build bridges to nothing, you'll get nowhere

-I don't feel and that feels fine
i don't feel and that feels fine-

Every governor's mother knows
That their bread is buttered by Sam

-crook takes, crook Takes green out of wallet-

And what about science?
they find proof and let you make your own decisions

-There are (answers to our reasons worthwile to find?)

Every childstar wonders
If they have a future up ahead

-King Takes Queen, Takes Queen Out Game
It's Alright
It's Alright-

Every kindhearted banker
I don't think there is one (i take you out)
Every winning opinion
i wish i had one

-I took you out for out on a night on the town
I took my wallet out ____ __ _ _ __ [covered up by next line]
Every winning opinion
i- i wish i had one

Cummmooonnn

You know what (?) life's just bullshit

Stand on platforms in water
Filling jars full of silence you'll get nowhere

You're balancing balls on your nose
Alright! I don't mind I don't Mind So?
Sometimes you want your own space
That's Alright, Right?
Right!

get too creative. ordering our drinks
and mine stinks, my mistakes
get creative ording our drinks
and your stinks your stinks your stinks (??)
we get too creative
we get too creative

Modest Mouse – Sweater Lyrics 21 years ago
this song mentions the time when he got his ass kicked in a real bad way back in chicago [the part about the italian boys] personally i feel that this is a drunken freestyle composed of lyrics he had wanted to say for a while, but never got them out until the show...

Modest Mouse – You're the Good Things Lyrics 21 years ago
Everything about a girl he loves... maybe not? maybe its about someone he doesn't love? someone who is spectacular but completely worthless to him, who needs money when they are dying, why would you want cake at your funeral, parties when you want to sleep or flowers when you are alergic, hell it's probably not even about love
