Just got this single along with the whale song at my radio station. It came with lyrics and the only things wrong with the lyrics above are:
They pulled UP the welcome mat(because they have been there so many times, and each time they are NOT welcome, and the people at the court hurt their backs pulling up the welcome mat figuratively speaking.)
AND
WE'LL show up early just to wait in line (there is more than one person involved in all of this, as you can tell with the WE throughout.)
This is about the dragging out of a trial and after some time the subject of the song along with an accomplice is found guilty of a crime. They were found guilty in august, so their Autumn Beds just represent where they would be sleeping more comfortably in the upcoming season, fall.
Modest Mouse is releasing an EP this august of songs that didn't make it onto Good News and We Were Dead. This was definately off the Good News set.
I heard it was a continuation from the sailor characters in "We Were Dead..." It seems to make sense except why does October come before August? Surely the trial wasn't almost a year long when they were THAT guilty. I love the song but that is driving me nuts. I can't wait to hear the kazoo live though.

I'm uncertain as to why such a thing is "driving you nuts", as it were. There's no real indication that they were THAT guilty, merely that once it came time to sentencing they were found guilty on all the apparent charges. There's no real indication (at least to me) in the lyrics that it was obvious to all involved that they were overwhelmingly, obviously guilty. A ten month duration between the time the D.A. (apparently reluctantly) picked up their case (again) to the time of sentencing seems like a believable, realistic amount of time for such a thing to work...
