Woke up this morning and it seemed to me,
that every night turns out to be
A little more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?
God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

Well we sat on the edge of the river,
the crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!"
If God takes life, he's an Indian giver.
So tell me now why, you'll tell me never.
Who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all.
Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all.
Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.

But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
Here we go!

If God controls the land and disease,
keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
my problem is I can't see,
well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know?
Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw?

Well all that icing and all that cake,
I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake.
You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day,
when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK?

Went to bed and didn't see
why every day turns out to be
a little bit more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

Good song.

I claim to be one of the first to listen to MM or UC, as they used to be called.

Uhh, Modest Mouse was never called Ugly Casanova. Ugly Casanova was a much later side project.
Kefka
Ugly Casanova is awesome, though.
Feern
Much later my ass. And same singer/nearly the same music type.

Although why do I really give a fuck, I started listening to them in middle school, years ago
moscas
They sang this when I saw them in Boston last month. wub.gif

I don't like the newest album much.
Frankie G
The newest album is pretty good. I'm biased though because I love dashboard.
Kefka
I really like the new album too. <3 missed the boat

I love that song. There is a part where he says...uhh...I think he says "shake" a few times. He sounds like Robert Smith.

Yeah. We didn't read the invite, we just danced at our own wake. All our favorites were playin', so we could shake shake shake shake shake~

*dances*

I guess it kind of grows on you. It's more mom-rockish than the other albums (minus Good News), if you could even call Modest Mouse mom rock. Which you can't.
Kefka
What the fuck is mom rock?

Mom rock is, well it just is.

I used the expression to explain that their new album is not as intense as the others.. it's safer.
Kefka
Hahah, I think they're all like that. Maybe you haven't heard a lot of their albums? I have like 10 modest mouse albums on my computer and most of them are what you would call mom rock if you think the new CD is mom rock. lol.

OKAY DUDE, tons of their songs are not mom rock. What about "A Different City?"
That's perhaps my favorite Modest Mouse song. I have heard most of their albums. mad.gif I'm sorry, but that "Fire it Up" song is so unoriginal it's ridiculous. I'm not saying MM is like, really loud and unusual or anything, but the new album is just bland compared to the others.

On a different note, I found this old Isaac Brock song on Limewire and he must be at least fourteen years old. His voice is so small and funny.

Nobody said Fire It Up was a good song. huh.gif That's always been my least favorite song on the CD.

Of course I've fucking heard A Different City! Hahah, that's on their best CD. They have much more bland music than just the new CD IMO (which I don't even think is bland for the most part), though, is all I'm saying. lol opinionz

I didn't say you didn't hear it. YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SAID I DIDN'T HEAR ENOUGH MM.

AND I DIDN'T SAY YOU LIKED FIRE IT UP. I WAS JUST SAYING THAT IT'S SUCKY.

huh.gif

EDIT: LOL.
