Little Kids Lyrics
the kids see that man walking down the dirt road
these kids see the sky and they think of him dressed in flames
kids walk behind, slowly stalk, that old man
to get older still
to get older still
to get older still
where he turns on the radio and smokes a cig
these kids come with gasoline and they strike a match
to get older still
to get older still
to get older
(repeat)
This is my favourite track on the new album, and I think it's about resentment of youth being punished by resentment of the elderly. And with this amazing crescendo of shoegaze and noise rock near the end, I can just imagine the shed being all up in flames by then. Really nice juxtaposition of sound and thematic content.
wonder whether they ever considered singing the chorus as a "round"?
to get older still get older still to[o] older still to get still to get older
I've only just heard this song twice. I love how when it gets to just barely before the 3-minute mark, you think it's gone as far as it's going to go. Then it goes farther, and you feel as if it's going to take your head off.
Every clock is a blunt instrument, crushing your skull
OMG I MELT
This song just draws you in
