Its not often I do this, in fact I don’t do this….i’m not even sure what this is below but I don’t do it….ok, I do do it, and i have..well, for this song, this one time…yes, but I can’t help it…beautifully obtuse and at times obscene while still remaining elegant and interesting…Spencer Krug…brilliant you Canadian…brilliant
I read on some promo piece somewhere that Sunset Rubdown is what happens when Spencer hangs up his Wolf Parade hat, has a few drinks and walks around his apartment in his underwear....fascinating, yet most people who are reading this are thinking Tom Cruise lip-singing in whitey tightys...oh well, that comparison may not be bad....Tom turned out absolutely, perfectly, completely normal...
Us Ones In Between - Sunset Rubdown(As I understand them to be..)
You are a waterfall waiting inside a well
You are a wrecking ball before the building fell
And every lightening rod has got to watch the storm cloud come
I’ve heard of prizemen, I’ve heard of dirty things
But you don’t often hear, of us ones in between
I’ve heard of creatures who eat their babies,
I wonder if they stop to think about the taste
I saw the sun go down outside of Arkansas
And I saw the sun come up somewhere in Illinois
And In the darkness, I taught myself to hate
But where were you, oh where were you, and where’d the F***ing sun go?
I am a creature, I am surviving
And I want to be alone, but I want your body
So when you eat me…mother and baby
Oh baby mother me, before you eat me
And you should always pass, when you’ve got the inside lane
Don’t pull your hair out; I won’t pull my hair out
For I have never, seen a sun, that did not burry its head in the side of the world when the day is done
You are a waterfall waiting inside a well
You are a wrecking ball before the building fell
And I will mother like a lover, who speaks in tongues, well he speaks in tongues.
Well, I speak in tongues
