Backed Out On The... Lyrics
You backed out on the cocks
If they wanna love you make sure they fuck you
You backed out on the cocks
You backed out on the cocks
They wanna hunt you, make sure they love to
You backed out on the cocks
But they can't write you and me
Everyone can write this song
But they can't write you and me
You backed out on the cocks
You backed out on the cocks
But they can't write you and me
Everyone can write this song
But they can't write you and me

this has sonic youth and yo la tengo all over the place.
which isn't bad at all, of course.
i never know what the hell he's talking about... but i guess ignorance is bliss.

what is up with him and fucking the cause?

haha, i don't know willlliw but i was wondering the same

This song is utterly amazing. and to think i thought it was "backed out on the car."
it's about how people shouldn't tie themselves to any cause and just do whatever they feel is right at the moment.
"everyone can write this song but they can't write you and me"
amazing.

AHAHA i thought it was backed out on the car too. i agree too, people souldnt tie themselves to the cause and do what they think is right.
among the best songs ive ever heard

Sorry, guys... The CD book says it cocks.
Backed out on the cocks.

It is Backed out on the cocks...

That interview has him talking about how he was trying to get J Mascis to say "cocks" but he kept saying "Cau"
And in relation to the weirdness of his lyrics, he touches on that in the interview as well.
"Everything was basically one take rants". He also said he would end up laughing at his lyrics when he took a look at them later.

Whaaat. My life is ruined. I like how he kept the title of the song ambiguous though.
I also like how most of these lyrics were submitted before the actual CD came out.

J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. plays guitar on the song, thats where the sound of the song comes from.

This video is great.
