Animal Collective – My Girls Lyrics 16 years ago
Actually, these are the real lyrics. The song was covered by 'Taken By Trees' .. and she she sang the following lyrics (She wouldn't cover a song with incorrect lyrics)

There isn't much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
But with a little girl, and by my spouse,
I only want a proper house

I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave,
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave

On my father's grave
(On your father's grave)

I don't mean to seem like I
Care about material things,
Like a social status,
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my girls

These are 100% correct. No more debates!

Panda Bear – Bros Lyrics 16 years ago
Bros is actually referring to him and his brother Matt.

This song is basically about Noah being concerned about his brother. He feels he isn't getting out there and living his own and having 'his own go' at things. He needs to break out of his shell. The lyric : "I'm not trying to forget you .. " is his brother Matt's response to Noah's concern. He just wants to be alone. He enjoys the company of himself. And despite Noah's objections, Matt thinks that he can be alright. Noah responds with "I mean no offense to you but grow up", telling him exactly how he feels. But being the great bro that Noah is, reassures him that he is only trying his best.

Noah's brother shares similar personalities with the new song of Animal Collective's new album, M.P.P. In "Brother Spot", he writes a song about his brother Matt and that he is too closed in his own world, unable to express himself, and can't let his thoughts came out.

From these 2 songs, we can conclude Noah is concerned for his brother's timidness, introverted personality, and anti social behavior. But Panda Bear reassures his brother that "i do love you and want to hold on to you for always"

Isn't that what BROS are for?

Sorry, it's 'slats'

Slats = A horizontal window blind

The lyrics are still incorrect on this site. These are the ones for sure (I've heard them in concert and these the clear words spoken:

There Isn't much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
With a little girl and by my spouse
I only want a proper house.

I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in a vicious way
But to provide for ones who ask
I will with heart, on my father's grave

I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
Like our social stats
I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls

Animal Collective – Brother Sport Lyrics 16 years ago
whj247 is correct.

He say's "Daddy's done", not dumb. Noah is talking to his brother Matt, how they have to support each other during this time of mourning because of their father's death. And instead of bottling up emotions, let it out. Let it be known that he hurts. You're growing up, it's time to act like one and don't bottle these emotions inside. Keep it real Matt, shout it out!
