Movement Lyrics

It's like a movement from the small place
To a bigger city
Or it's a bigger bag to strap the ego of a little baby
It's like a discipline without the discipline of
All of the discipline
It's like a culture
Without the effort of all the culture

Oh but I'm tapped
Yr pillaging and I'm tapped
Yr yesterday
And I'm tapped
Another reason I'm tapped

It's like a movement
Without the bother of the meaning
It's like a discipline
Without the discipline of all of the discipline
It's like a fat guy in a T-shirt
Doing all the saying
It's like a couple dads and a few friends
Trying hard to stay in

Yr history and I'm tapped
Yr fast and easy 'n I'm tapped
Yr pillaging
And I'm tapped
For best results well I'm tapped

Here comes the report nothing to report see
It's all the same
It seems the punk rock as an experiment well
It pulled up lame
You got the fat guy in the T-Shirt
Doing all the singing
Straight to the drunk tank doing the research 'n
Doing all the blame

Yr history and I'm tapped
Yr fast asleep and I'm tapped
Yr pillaging and I'm tapped
For best results well I'm tapped

It's like the culture
Without the effort or all of the luggage
It's like a discipline
Without the discipline of all of the discipline
It's like a movement
Without the bother of the meaning
It's like a culture
Without the culture of all of the culture

Yr history and I'm tapped
Yr fast'n'easy
And Im tapped
Yr pillaging and I'm tapped
And yr finiky so I'm tapped

Cover art for Movement lyrics by LCD Soundsystem

I like LCD Soundsystem and all, James Murphy's a pretty cool guy - and he has a great record collection. But this is a Fall song, and he knows it. It's okay though, I won't tell.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I mean, Wikipedia tells me that "The Fall" is some post-punk something something who's had a lot of influence on LCD, but Google-ing is failing me. So what's this guy talking about? Because The Fall is interesting to me now and I really like this track... DO TELL

well i think he just means that its like... something he put on the album because its around... not because its good. but idk. curious to know too.

what does he mean by saying that he's tapped?

@agent_cooper He's making a joke that this song is very similar to the Fall in both musical style (to an extent) and in singing style (the way he goes 'tapped-uh', for example).

He measns the Fall - the post-punk band featuring Mark E SMITH - who are awesome and are among my favorite bands - this sounds like their style but its not a Fall cover (if thats what he means)

Yeah, this kind of has the beat from "Ghost Rider" by Suicide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGLJoXpKo4U

Both the phrase "I'm tapped" and the pronunciation (tapp-uhd) is from the song "Telephone Thing" by the Fall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEOtckaZtLg&feature=related

I like the way that James Murphy injects his personality into older songs, but this is the one time where I don't think it works too well.
