464. Wrong!

It’s catchy, ok. And who hasn’t had someone at whom, at some point, they wanted to scream “You don’t do anything!”

The Mountain Goats – Alphabetizing

AND THOUGH IT’S VERY TRUE THAT I LOVE EVERYONE 

WITH EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY LEFT IN ME,

I LOVE YOU ESPECIALLY 

onemountaingoatssongaday:

Pure Love

Hey, what’s wrong with you?
Hey, what are you trying to do?
Because if what you had in mind
Is what I think it is, then it’s not very kind
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now

Hey, what are you doing my love?
Hey, didn’t I just tell you that such a thing would be over and above
What’s called for in this case?
Pull the ski mask away from your face
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now

from Songs for Petronius (1992)

People say friends don’t destroy one another.

What do they know about friends?

I saw the future in a dream last night –

There’s nothing in it.

I’m gonna get myself in fighting trim
Scope out every angle of unfair advantage
I’m gonna bribe the officials
I’m gonna kill all the judges
It’s gonna take you people years
To recover from all of the damage

Our mother has been absent
Ever since we founded Rome
But there’s gonna be a party when the wolf comes home

from Come, Come to the Sunset Tree (2005)

the-thrill-be-damned:

Get away from me, you really freak me out
Actually, just go ahead, it’s not worth arguing about
Tonight, not tonight

Freedom’s just another word for things that freak me out
You can’t take a thing from me that I can’t live without
Tonight, not tonight

And freedom, you don’t even want it
You want an orthodontist
You’re so stupid

Freedom, never even knew it
Didn’t know what to do with it
‘Cause you’re too stupid, am I that stupid

You could be a mission that I build my life around
Or you could be a memory I get in and lay down
But not tonight, not tonight

Oh, I could be the problem

And freedom, you don’t even want it
You want an orthodontist
‘Cause you’re so stupid

Freedom, and I even knew it
Didn’t know what to do with it
‘Cause I’m so stupid, you found someone stupid

Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to get
So let me down precariously and I won’t be upset
Tonight, not tonight

And freedom, I don’t even want it
I’m your orthodontist
I’m so stupid

Freedom, never even knew it
Wouldn’t know what to do with it
‘Cause you’re too stupid

You’re so stupid, etc.
