Skin and Bones Lyrics
blood and teeth
well this is esentially
who we are
hair and clothes
the company we keep
well this is regretably
who we are
to others
so show routines
the tall good looking boy
at the bar
won't have to stumble too far
to find someone
a new bird every night
he's still not satisfied
thick skulls
and awkward knees
each one unique by
fractions of an inch
and we're all ashamed of our vanity
as we should be
cuz the devils in the details
so show
constraints
and emotional cravings
you and me
and him and her
pitys those girls
who aren't so pretty
but dress nice
she'll go home alone by choice
or choose one of the boys
to lay down with
if she's lonely
or horny
or human
"each one unique by fractions of an inch "
Favorite song on the new album.
it is "the devil's in the detail" and "so show constraints" (what are contraits like?)
that verse is "we'Ve all the same SOCIAL conStraints and emotional cravings"
"and the prettiest girl at the party pitys those girls who aren't so pretty but dress nice "
love it
the second verse is,"we've all the same social routines".
Mike Kinsella is so musically talented it's unfair
the last verse to this song is amazing. everything he writes is so simple,.. he has such a way with words.
it's true. these are essentially who we are. think about that for awhile.
"hair and clothes the company we keep well this is regrettably who we are to others"
so simple. but really true. this song's amazing.
