Awesome

LYRICS: All this talking you'd think I'd have something to say but I'm just talking like a siren getting louder and farther away from the energetic kids in the park yes that was me breaking glass and pretending to start something big some new taste Did you wander as my voice went from station to station to state? Some loud thunder sometimes there's no telling if we're ok there are buildings up for sale on the other side of town which are falling down for people to stand in their place; to try to make something great That's just a part of the story And it could be maybe something complete someday At the end of the quarry yes that was me digging holes for all the world to see A cannonball as big as the ocean could come from the sky and slap us all on the teeth But there's always more unless I'm mistaken tell me when do mouths close and people gracefully retreat New York calling at the bottom of the ocean city gritting its teeth but there's no telling from the telepathic Mrs. Crying on live TV Whoah the misanthropic topical arrangement that is met with a shark bite by the terminal patient That's me Am I late? That's the start of my story and it may be one day something complete At the end of the quarry I have dug a hole for all the world to see A cannonball as big as the ocean could come from the sky and slap us all on the teeth but there's always more unless I'm mistaken Tell me when do mouths close and people gracefully retreat?

You think bright eyes was inspired by this song when writing Messanger Bird Song?

I hope you are well littlepebble27 and i proclaim that Mother Mary loves the Matrix redux. littlepebble27 years ago Pope Benedict XVI ! The Second apparition of Mother Mary continue at Akita in Japan now. She revealed Her title to us. That is "Corredemptrix, Omnium gratiarum Mediatrix" ( "Co-Redemptrix,Mediatrix of all graces" ) God wants you to proclaim that "Mother Mary is Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all graces"as dogma.

Bad ass song

Hell yeah, the raw version of this song is my CYHSY favorite. And people just bitch that it's broken. It's called style, bitches. Very fitting video, good job bro.

Does anyone know what Joyner means by scoring one for the Catholic girls? I can pretty much understand the whole song except for this line. Anyone have an idea?

'The whole night in my lungs'...damn.

I bought this 7" in 1997...and it's still one the best songs...

I think this cat is too busy playing with his soft nuts, great tune and great raw sound, forget your hippy shit

27 people likes justin bieber or one erection o jonas fuckers or hannah montashit, or selene goaway, im a little desperate. :p

Dave Fridmann's production. He's a genius. Also, why are people watching this video if they've never heard the song before?

Dave Dondero was who inspired Conor Oberst. So check him out.

Pure and beautiful.

what movie is this from-?origins of all school shooting caught on tape.

seriously such a good video, captures the mood of the song wonderfully :)

If you hold on the root "G" you can tune that by ear and then relative tune the rest, well thats what i did.

@MrP945 you pedal around with G to C. then to that D. but the guitar is tuned between two notes. (i think a quarter step up)

Wore the Wurlitzer single of this record out for a year or more. Listening again 15, 16 years later and nothing's changed. Perfect song.

I love the song and video:)

There are 2 versions of this song....one is this crazily distorted one that was released on the album. They also have a perfectly clean version that was (I believe) available for download on their site at one point. This is just producer Dave Friedmann going ballistic w/ all of his studio toys. He usually applies this clipping/compression/distortion to drum sounds (Flaming Lips albums).

that's how the song was originally recorded ppls

I've got a fever...

@HempForPresident it hurts my ears. naturally, i like it better that way .

@HempForPresident actually that's how its recorded on the album.

@HempForPresident lol you don't know it.

this song fucking sucks... dude can't sing at all

@MockyRock well, for me i just think it is a perfect song...the story all comes full circle by the end. and the music is just so damn piercing, calm, groovy, beautiful and flowing. i really feel/relate to this song, i really love it.

Am I the only one that thinks this, Dondero, and Conor Oberst sound like Daniel Johnston?

@yourlipsarerubyred everything but one problem, too long. Perfect four minute song, not 6 ,minute song. Do you think so?

you can feel why conor loves simon joyner. this is one of the best songs ever. everything about it.

fuckin simon joyner fuck

I hear Lou Reed more than Oberst.

@HempForPresident > vocals through megaphone into mic... open your mind... dopes not for everyone.

@HempForPresident > vocals through megaphone into mic... open your mind... dopes not for everyone.

Would anyone know what album this is from and where I could buy it/download it.

thats a sick video man... good work!

@tatkaoz: why do you gotta go be so adopted?

@tatkaoz: And I bet you use Windows, don't you?

Stunning

Damn, that's good! MORE MORE MORE!

do you know what films the clips are from?
