Swy Lyrics

You're no one
You're going nowhere
You got a fast car
AEIOU and sometimes Y
AEIOU and sometimes Y
AEIOU and sometimes Y
AEIOU and swy... No, Y
(Damn, that one's gonna suck.)

why would the song be entitled "swy" if he was saying slide?

Why would he say dan though? Dann Gallucci didn't join the band til later and I can't think of any other dans he could be talking to

Did he actually mess up on the last line? Or was that on purpose?

i read it said Dan, that ones gunna suck. You know dan... you're no one you goin no where in a fast car a e i o u and sometimes y x3 a e i o u and swy no y "damn that ones gunna suck..."

I think thats what he's saying.And "SWY" because combinding sometimes y...and y has a w sound kinda and... yea i think you get it.

to me it means just like you're doing nothing and thinking about simple things.i dunno,thats what i always think about. Im not sure why Isaac wrote this but hey, i like it!

Can anyone tell me the chords for this song?

Cover art for Swy lyrics by Modest Mouse

don't overanalyze it. he obviously just messed up, like we do, combining sounds or missplacing words. It happens to me all the time. This one's just funny because he said it's gonna suck

Cover art for Swy lyrics by Modest Mouse

i thought when he said swy he was saying slide- you know? because dan was using the slide guitar. doesnt really sound like it anymore, though. it just sounds like swy.

he does say slide, Melabbelle. btw its not damn, its dan.
