Poledo Lyrics
Not an innocent
I bleed my place
That settle turning smirk
That's always fixed upon my face
Walking weakness
Hope I die without a sound
I'm that little boy
With my feet nailed to the ground
I know I'm guilty
My stomach always hurts
Milking your attention
For the little it is worth
I'm turning browner every day
I'm really turning down a stay
Tired of your little van
I've been around too long
Tired of walking
Talking with me
Edging me along
Well, I detest your patience I
know you've always known
You know that I'm a thief
It's so great to be alone
Alone (That's that)
[Static, Static]
I don't care It's lie, I wound
I'm a stupid baby
Hope it breaks in two
[noise]
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus is Christ
Jesus Jesus is Christ
[noise]
I don't see I don't feel
Like every little moron
I think nothing's real
I don't care It's lie, I wound Darling, skip the faith
That only breaks in two
[noise]
Through a dozen layers
And there's no evil here
Only this great power
We misunderstand
So please relax
Take a pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
Jesus laughs
Take the pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
It doesn't live
There's no evil here
These great powers
We misunderstand
Tell you about everything
Tell you about everything
(Go) (Go) (Now)
I bleed my place
That settle turning smirk
That's always fixed upon my face
Walking weakness
Hope I die without a sound
I'm that little boy
With my feet nailed to the ground
I know I'm guilty
My stomach always hurts
Milking your attention
For the little it is worth
I'm turning browner every day
I'm really turning down a stay
Tired of your little van
I've been around too long
Tired of walking
Talking with me
Edging me along
Well, I detest your patience I
know you've always known
You know that I'm a thief
It's so great to be alone
Alone (That's that)
[Static, Static]
I don't care It's lie, I wound
I'm a stupid baby
Hope it breaks in two
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus is Christ
Jesus Jesus is Christ
[noise]
I don't see I don't feel
Like every little moron
I think nothing's real
I don't care It's lie, I wound Darling, skip the faith
That only breaks in two

Through a dozen layers
And there's no evil here
Only this great power

So please relax
Take a pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
Jesus laughs
Take the pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
It doesn't live
There's no evil here
These great powers

Tell you about everything

Lou actually wrote this song solely to get a girlfriend which worked out miraculously for him
A Sebadoh track brilliantly hidden in a Dinosaur Jr. album.
this song was easily the weirdest one in all of YLAOM. the feedback parts still kick though.
One of the few lyrics that Lou Barlow wrote in the band. He is truly a lyrical genious.
It's really quite scary when all the "Jesus Christ" bits come through.
best dinosaur jr. song ever. no question about it.
the song's about religion. barlow's saying god/jesus do exist and blind faith isn't the way. they could help "When you forget your name Jesus laughs" but they don't.
i love this song. it's great. great acoustic noise rock.
lou wrote this one night when he was stoned.
this song is about hopelessness. it reads more like a confession of feelings than a story. it's about giving up on yourself and turning your back to those that try to help you or put up with you (i detest your patience), turning your back on the world and how it laughs at you (jesus laughs). it speaks the feelings of turning on yourself, seeing only the disgusting nature you imagine yourself to exposition (That settle turning smirk that's always fixed upon my face), and being sickened at how anyone could see anything different. it's a feeling that leaves you wanting to be alone with your sickness so you can wallow in it, absorbing all of its potency. it's truly a very raw depiction of emotion
This has always been one of my favorite dinosaur jr. songs.When I first got this album in '88 –my first ever by Dinosaur Jr.–this was the song that made me go, "Yeah, I got the right album".
As I listened to this throughout high school, I always like listening to this over and over until I fell asleep. I was just so peaceful and relaxing. I wasn't a Christian then, but I am now, but I'm not lying: when I would hear the parts where Lou is saying "Jesus", honest to God, I would feel a peace come into my room and I would sense a presence of a benevolent light. It made me feel safe, secure and completely protected. And like Lou says,"There's no evil here". Now I know why.
Even if Lou was stoned when he wrote this for a girlfriend, thanks Lou for writing it. I still love it 25 years later!
