Backed Out On The... Lyrics

You thought you were leaving, temporary grieving
You backed out on the cocks
If they wanna love you make sure they fuck you
You backed out on the cocks

You think it's the season, temporary treason
You backed out on the cocks
They wanna hunt you, make sure they love to
You backed out on the cocks

Everyone can write this song
But they can't write you and me
Everyone can write this song
But they can't write you and me

If the lies they don't fit ya better trade some spit ya
You backed out on the cocks

Time is a leaver, thought she was a stealer
You backed out on the cocks

Everyone can write this song
But they can't write you and me
Everyone can write this song
But they can't write you and me

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.

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.
