Four Fingered Fisherman Lyrics

You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
"Ok, it doesn't matter anyway"
It's weeds pulling weeds and you're blaming yourself
Ok, we're all indifferent in our own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
"Ok, my baby clean conscience anyways"
You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
"Ok, it doesn't matter anyway"
It's weeds pulling weeds and you're blaming yourself
Ok, we're all indifferent in our own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
"Ok, my baby clean conscience anyways"
Four fingered fisherman, all right
Four fingered fisherman so uptight
Hello
You're getting on no one
You're both right
Four fingered fisherman all night long
Four fingered fisherman so uptight though
So uptight though

OK. I usually don't chime in on these things and the only reason I got an account was so I could say one thing. People, christ. Stop being such elitests. Not only is it obvious why Float On is the song with the most posts, but why does it even matter? Why do you have to make your claim to fandom? Why do you have to feel threatened by the fact that people have heard of your band and are never ever going to listen to Lonesome Crowded West? The fact of that matter is Float On is a great song, just as Doin' The Cockroach is a great song. It'd be one thing if the song sucked, but it doesn't. Stop fearing popularity. Christ

Gosh Hurtz you got it right. man i'm such a dick! lol thanks

ArtKudds, the song does sound rough. The whole cd of Sad Sappy Sucker just sounds like it was thrown together with songs different songs.

i love how raw SSS sounds. it just adds to the whole experience. Its kind of a shame that 99% of these songs dont get any attention during live shows because they're all so easy to jam to. But i couln't imagine what SSS would sound like if it was perfectly produced and clean sounding. What if they re-made all of the songs and turned all the dial-a-songs into full length songs and called it Sad Sappy Sucker 2? OMG i'd have a mouse-gasm!

...it's a singles/EP collection that spans years.... of course it doesn't sound cohesive.
