One hand on this wily comet
Take a drink just to give me some weight
Some Uber-Man I'd make
I'm barely a vapor
They shone a chlorine light on a host individual sins
Let's carve my aging face off
Fetch us a knife, start with my eyes
Down so the lines form a grimacing smile
Close your eyes to corral a virtue
Is this fooling anyone else?
Never worked so long and hard
To cement a failure
We can blow on our thumbs and posture
But the lonely are such delicate things
The wind from a wasp could blow them into the sea with stones on their feet
Lost to the light and the loving we need
Still to come
The worst part and you know it
There is a numbness
In your heart and it's growing
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
I click my heels, get the devils in line
A list of things I could lay the blame on
Might give me a way out
But with each turn it's this front and center
Like a dart stuck square in your eye
Every post you can hitch your faith on is a pie in the sky, chock full of lies
A tool we devise to make sinking stones fly
And still to come
The worst part and you know it
There is a numbness
In your heart and it's growing
Take a drink just to give me some weight
Some Uber-Man I'd make
I'm barely a vapor
They shone a chlorine light on a host individual sins
Let's carve my aging face off
Fetch us a knife, start with my eyes
Down so the lines form a grimacing smile

That is very groovy and very sweet! Thank you.
I try not to listen to the lyrics of this song and then it sounds like when we were kids and we would lay on our backs on the swings of the swing set and spend a minute or two rocking back and forth upside-down, with everything that made sense hanging like stalactites and the sky as the floor.

Ok - can we agree the Wiki band photo is a bit ridiculous for a band this respectable?
Enigmatic band! So intriguing, this... Chirping birds, bright, shimmering keys, bouncy Beach Boys sounds contrasted with mind- and heart-rending lyrics... Forever glad I saw them at Club Quattro that tour!

Chlorine light sounds like a cross between U.V light and injecting bleach. Who knew the Shins were so prescient?

The lyrics (though not the melody) could have come from Joni Mitchell. Similar themes & imagery. Beautiful.

Perhaps it was my experiences in church as a child that permit me to see clearly what James Mercer is painting with his lyrics of a 'chlorine light on individual sins ' here.

The Shins really do need a trophy (big honkin' one) for Most Gloriously Precious. "The wind from a wasp could blow them into the sea... "? No one else could pull stuff like that off, and you know it.

A "chorine light"? As ever, The Shins win the Most Gnomic Lyrics in Pop award hands down - completely incomprehensible, yet such nice music that you can't help but be captivated. 8 from the befuddled Nottingham jury.

LOL. Thanks for that. Comments that are funny and not mean are top notch.
You are my new RP hero. Don't blow this.
There are a few Shins songs I like, but not this one. I like the vocals, but they are better suited to just a little more beat in my opinion.

Well, the lyric is actually "chlorine light" implying a stark white light being shown on the host of individual sins. Seems pretty comprehensible to me.

Part of the melody is uncomfortably close to a Billy Joel song, maybe "She's Always a Woman." Still, it's not as wince-worthy as most of the Shins tunes I've heard. It has earned a 6.
First Shins song I ever heard and it was here on RP. I've been hooked ever since. Would jump on a plane today to anywhere to catch them live!
Love it. This particular song reminds me a lot of early Manic Street Preachers.
So damn thoughtful, lyrical and quite beautiful.

"It is rare that I listen to one song by any band these days in anxious anticipation of the next song after because the first is just too good, yet not close to over. Yes kids, I have 50 years of music in my ears, my heart and my soul — not to mention garbage cans full of the worst and I can honestly say to you that this band is melodically, lyrically, and very genuinely, the best to consistently improve and put out exceptional contemporary music. Long live Shins."

Up another point because in the 6 years that I've been hearing it, it hasn't lost a bit of its sparkle.
Aaahhhhh... I know this song for a while now but somehow today this gives me goosebumps like never before. And sadly enough music doesn't do that often for me anymore (no idea why)...

This song contains some of the saddest lyrical content I've ever heard... "Never worked so long and hard to cement a failure"... "And still to come the worst part and you know it, there is a numbness in you heart and its growing". Taken in the context of relationships, those are some sad, sad lines.

According to an interview published on Pitchfork Media on May 6, 2009, "keyboardist Marty Crandall and drummer Jesse Sandoval had been replaced by Ron Lewis from Grand Archives and Eric D. Johnson of on bass and Joe Plummer of Modest Mouse on drums". In the same interview, Mercer said the next record "is still in its very early stages" and that he's "aiming for a release early next year". Regarding the lineup change, he commented that "I started to have production ideas that basically required some other people", but that he "wouldn't say I'd never work with them again."
On August 10, 2009, in a lengthy interview published in The Portland Mercury, former drummer Jesse Sandoval claimed that his departure from the band was not due to "aesthetic differences", but rather that he was fired, saying, "I understand he's probably doing it out of respect for me reading interviews, it might be hard for him to say it, but... I got fired. There's no other way of looking at it.
On January 18, 2010, The Quietus revealed that Mercer is taking a break from The Shins until at least 2011.
It was announced on July 5th, 2011 that The Shins would perform at the DeLuna Festival in Pensacola,Florida during the weekend of October 13th-16th. wikipedia

, who really was so kind as to send me this album, free of charge! I really love this album, especially this track, amazing!This song stunned me the first time I heard it, years ago. It made me cry, sitting at my desk at work. Life got better, and the relationship I was in and am still in is a million times improved, but at the time, it was like they pulled this out of my head and wrote my thoughts, though much more eloquently than I could have ever done. Great song.
Nothing like something to calm me down a bit after a stressful day.

Nice. Unfortunatelly, a friend of mine just recorded an acoustic version of this song, which sounds much better and ruined the original for me..
More shins please

I've seen the Shins live at Lowlands 2007 and was so happy to have been introduced to them by Radio Paradise. Sang all the songs, moved all the moves, jumped all the jumps! In dutch I would say Happy de Peppy!
Then there's also this more moving song on the album. The singer is a word artist, it's not easy to comprehend at first but through melody you catch on quickly. And difficult the melody is too! Super impressed by the creativity on this album!
Peace peeps

So many people love this album, but personally it just doesn't resonate with me. Everytime I look at the lyrics, it just makes me think of the crappy poetry that we had to write for english composition classes in high school all full of overwrought imagery and flowery emotions. I mean, it's not terrible...but just seems forced to me somehow...
