The Pig War Lyrics
it's been so long that it seems
like i've never been to the san juans
can we go soon?
girl slow down
girl slow down with me
if we leave now we can catch the last boat out
and that's the best one on this clear night
under pin-pricked lights
the wind on the boat's deck is a cold hand on her neck
we're slipping into our cold bed
it's been so long that it seems
that i've never danced with anyone
she moves so
she moves so well
if we go outside we can take in a haze of Roche Harbor light
drink a bottle of red wine
forgetting to tell time
just sit still
we've moved enough
the wind on the boat's deck is a cold hand on her neck
we're slipping into our cold bed
like i've never been to the san juans
can we go soon?
girl slow down
girl slow down with me
and that's the best one on this clear night
under pin-pricked lights
we're slipping into our cold bed
that i've never danced with anyone
she moves so
she moves so well
drink a bottle of red wine
forgetting to tell time
just sit still
we've moved enough
we're slipping into our cold bed

every minus the bear song is soooo descriptive of the northwest u.s. where there from, seattle.
i makes you fell like your there with them
fuckin amazing
In my opinion this is the best song on the whole album. Those who have been to the San Juans will undoubtedly understand the title, referring to the pig war of 1859 between the British and America, which occured in the San Juans. Anyway, beautiful song and lyrics that anyone can relate to. My favorite line is "it's been so long that it seems like I've never danced with anyone"
this makes me want to not worry about anything that may or may not happen in the future, and just enjoy life for what it is today
i love this song. this really is one of the best songs on the cd
my favorite line is also "its been so long that it seems like i've never danced with anyone" i love the backup vocals its just so beautiful.
I have to comment on this song again This song has been my inspiration for so many things It has also been one of my favorite songs for awhile As if Minus The Bear didn't make me cry enough they put out this song, beautiful lyrics and a beautiful melody. Wow, just wow.
Girl slow dooooown. Feel the emotion.
It is the most played song on my Itunes Library - amazing lyrics - Minus the bear hit it on the head with this song.
pin-pricked lights, stars
It is just so damn beautiful.
