Mutiny, I Promise You Lyrics
Sweetheart, I was trapped in transit
My lost ride
When your wild eye wandered here lady
Go out by the sweetheart tree
But don't let go
It's how my friend history here made me
What's the weight of the world worth to you, kid
Go write down what you see
And see how far it can go
What's the weight of the world worth to your side
Here is where you got lost
And here is how you got by
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the party it turned into
Heartbeat, you abandoned searches
Your lost ride
You're in my lost country now lady
Sweethearts in the crosstown wild
You don't let go
To the new live history goes with me
What's the weight of the world worth to you, kid
Go write down what you see
And see how far it can go
What's the weight of the world worth to your side
Here is where you got lost
And here is how you got by
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the party it turned into
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the moment it turned into (x4)
Sweetheats on the green
Flung pistols in high tide
Move like my friend history here told me
Clear-skied when the clear eye opened
My new moon to the new land
Won't you come with me
What's the weight of the world worth to you, kid
Go write down what you see
And see how far it can go
What's the weight of the world worth to your side
Here is where you got lost
And here is how you got by
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the party it turned into
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the moment it turned into
My lost ride
When your wild eye wandered here lady
Go out by the sweetheart tree
But don't let go
It's how my friend history here made me
Go write down what you see
And see how far it can go
What's the weight of the world worth to your side
Here is where you got lost
And here is how you got by
And here's the party it turned into
Your lost ride
You're in my lost country now lady
Sweethearts in the crosstown wild
You don't let go
To the new live history goes with me
Go write down what you see
And see how far it can go
What's the weight of the world worth to your side
Here is where you got lost
And here is how you got by
And here's the party it turned into
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the moment it turned into (x4)
Flung pistols in high tide
Move like my friend history here told me
Clear-skied when the clear eye opened
My new moon to the new land
Won't you come with me
Go write down what you see
And see how far it can go
What's the weight of the world worth to your side
Here is where you got lost
And here is how you got by
And here's the party it turned into
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the moment it turned into

I listened to it several times and am confident that the "move like my friend history here told me" line is correct... that stanza is problematic as the imagery seems kind of random and too dense...
Although I don’t think this song is by any means the best on the new album, I feel drawn to it more than any of the other tracks. I’m not sure why that is.
im drawn to this song too.
prmising mutiny.. it's a funny thing.
"that stanza is problematic as the imagery seems kind of random and too dense..." Yeah, almost makes me wonder if Dan wrote it. :P
This song is simply awesome! The New Pornographers are ridiculously amazing.
