Well, you got the perfect disguise and you're looking okay (broke my back)
From the bottom of the best to the worst, well, what can I say (broke my back)

'Cause you cocked your head to shoot me down (broke my back)
And I don't give a damn about you or this town no more
No, but I know the score (broke my back)

Need me to fall down so you can climb up some fool ass ladder (broke my back)
Well, good luck, I hope, I hope there's something better up there (broke my back)

'Cause you cocked your head to shoot me down (broke my back)
And I don't give a damn about you or this town no more
No, 'cause I know the score

Broke my back
Broke my back
Broke my back

forgot this was The Mouse
Nice!  Unlike the MM cd's I have.
This afternoon sounds like FM stations used to sound like in the middle of the night in the '60's.  No higher compliment could I offer.
Walking above the very surface - but nice
Love this song but I just listened to the album it came from, and the other tracks really don't have a lot going on. In fact, they blow.

Point being that once again RP knows what it is doing.

Voice very similar to Adrian Borland´s of The Sound.
Song - 10
Album - 10 !!!!!!!!!!
This picture has Johnny Marr, he didn't join until around 2006 to 2008 time frame. MM is so good with and without Johnny.

I was just thinking today that I don't here enough Modest Mouse on here. Yall's came through! Cheers!
MOUSE!
somewhere an old man is young and youth is a mystery...
Their BEST CD, Album, whatever...These guys are amazing, I can't think of a song I dislike or that doesn't move me in one way or another.  Sometimes I feel they are sharing a secret handshake.
i like this guy's voice.
Love that amplifier buzz in the background.
Best Modest Mouse album.
very inventive band. I just don't understand that hatred I see written about MM.
Love the atmosphere of this song.  CD is good, too.

love this entire CD, it was my first MM experience...lots of great songs...

It's a Modest Mouse song I like! Very nice

Stellar musical arrangement.  Love the mouse.

This song had a lot of potential until the vocals started.

I disagree and love MM, but if this is "nothing special" to you, I really want to see your preferred play list... it must be a doozey.

8) the back vocals -> Love & Rockets
8) tremendous album.
a recent favorite of mine, many other good songs on this album - how did i not discover these guys sooner?
I can't believe this is the only song from The Moon and Antarctica on RP...gonna have to do something about this.
Just under 3 minutes of goodness. I like to juxtapose this song with 'Alone Down There' during casual listening. Flip sides of the same coin to me.
