Alice and Interiors Lyrics
I swear I tried again
You’re never visible on the weekdays
When I need you to
Do what you can’t afford to do
You better watch your tone
You’re not invincible
You know I’ll do what I have to do
To stop the sound coming from you
Cause the truth is
You’re probably not as bad
As I make you out to be
To the boys and the girls
That will listen closely know
I’m the one that is sorry
You can write the coolest songs
I was wrong, I was wrong
This isn’t working out
You’re only logical on Sundays
When you can follow through
Exactly what I told you to do
Please just pick up the phone
Am I invisible?
Now you know
I didn’t mean a thing
When I said you could barely sing
Cause the truth is
You’re probably not as bad
As I thought that you were being
To the boys and myself
We’re just tired of listening
I’m the one that is sorry
Help me write the coolest songs
I was wrong, I was wrong
Cause the truth
Is that no one
Truly knows
What the hell it is you’re doing
When they ask are you dead
Or are you just sleeping?
I am the one that is happy
I don’t like your shitty songs
You were wrong
You were wrong
You’re never visible on the weekdays
When I need you to
Do what you can’t afford to do
You better watch your tone
You’re not invincible
You know I’ll do what I have to do
To stop the sound coming from you
Cause the truth is
You’re probably not as bad
As I make you out to be
To the boys and the girls
That will listen closely know
I’m the one that is sorry
You can write the coolest songs
I was wrong, I was wrong
You’re only logical on Sundays
When you can follow through
Exactly what I told you to do
Please just pick up the phone
Am I invisible?
Now you know
I didn’t mean a thing
When I said you could barely sing
Cause the truth is
You’re probably not as bad
As I thought that you were being
To the boys and myself
We’re just tired of listening
I’m the one that is sorry
Help me write the coolest songs
I was wrong, I was wrong
Is that no one
Truly knows
What the hell it is you’re doing
When they ask are you dead
Or are you just sleeping?
I am the one that is happy
I don’t like your shitty songs
You were wrong
You were wrong

This song is way wrong. So, I don't know if lyme01 got these from a different version, or if he's just creative and didn't like the real lyrics, but these are the ones from their album.
Well I swear I tried again You’re never visible on the weekdays When I need you to Do what you can’t afford to do You better watch your tone You’re not invincible You know I’ll do what I gotta do To stop the sound coming from you Cause the truth is You’re probably not as bad As I make you out to be To the boys and the girls That will listen closely know I’m the one that is happy You can write the coolest songs I was wrong, Yeah I'm was wrong
My God! What have we got here? I've been tryin hard and you've been dyin hard for years now Well I swear I did it all I'll always be my best flaw.

Yes, it is a different version.
Yes, it is a different version.
Andy said it's about two Woody Allen movies fighting before he played it at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis on August 1, 2007. You can download a bootleg of the show at www.thetradersden.org Manchester Orchestra is open taping and bootlegging, so don't feel bad.
I think this song has some relevance to god/jesus/religion in general.
"You�re never visible on the weekdays When I need you to"
"Cause the truth Is that no one Truly knows What the hell it is you�re doing When they ask are you dead Or are you just sleeping?"
Maybe I'm wrong?
I think you could apply those lines to religious concepts, but I don't get that particular viewpoint when I listen to the song or examine the lyrics. To me, it seems more like it's talking about a friend who's never there for you, etc.

The version posted is the one from the E.P.
It's "invincible" not "invisible."

I hear both modest mouse lyrics in this song and a Modest Mouse sound at some points of the song. it could be coincidence but i feel maybe its a statement. at least I hope its a statement because i get a lot out of this song when i consider that aspect.
i love this bands music. i could write essays on what the lyrics mean to me.
could anybody send my the album version of this song. i can only find the ep version.
thanks.
oh and does anybody have the nobody sings anymore album? cause i'd love to have that too.
does anybody else love the rift in this song
u know the oppening
its just magical
