Modest Mouse Sweater Lyrics:
it was like this in 1999 it was like this in 1874
it was like this when you were a child it was like
this when i was a whore, well there were massive
troops on the back of the isles they were saying
those things, they were all in denial they were
talkin about their own front let me tell it like,
it smelled like shit and they and theyre eatin
popcorn out of a dish theyre sayin "i wish, i
wish, i wish" i was there in 1999, i was left and
i left my old self behind still livin but you know
im not denying said what i said, and i said this
in 1918 things were better when i was nothin but a
sweater now im born again as another man im livin
on this in this foreign land i used to be andora,
angora fleece, isnt no sound and i eat in peace
and noone knew, and noone cared, and you didnt
know whether you wanted to dare its not what you
were thinkin them and as your resurrection
breathed out cinnamon and i was not to be confused
and then in 1882 they still sold it to those fucks
things have been goin wrong since the beginning
and noone was loosin and noone was winning they
just fucked each other up and in 1999 i was in a
park in chicago oh that was nice he was like a
father and he know what he was sayin and wait im
not talkin about this bullshit and i went to talk
