Lyrics:
I been losing sleep
Just nodding Sleep that I wish that I know’d
Mmm and I lost all my tapes of back masking
Peace just for asking
Peace that I ought to be owed
And that’s the rent I’m paying
Just like my brother would say it
Out amongst the stars and the stones
Every kinda fortune gets old
Every kinda line is gonna come back to me just as I go
That’s the rent I pay
Like my brother say it
That’s the rent I pay
Rent I pay
Like my brother say it
The rent I pay
I been losing sleep
And I’m nodding
Sleep that I wish that I know’d
Mmmm and I lost all my tapes of back masking
Peace just for asking
Peace that I oughta be owed
And that’s the rent I pay
Like my brother say it
That’s the rent I pay
Rent I pay
Like my brother say
That’s the rent I pay
Everybody knows just where you been going
Everybody knows the faces you been showing
And if that’s your answer no I ain’t your dancer
And if that’s your answer no I ain’t your dancer

#Spoon #TheyWantMySoul

[@dasheight]

Best band in America. Just brilliant. On my sixth listen in a row. The stereo mix alone is ingenious. Good lord.

[@grazperrelli9018]

Great band. And, it's obvious that Tim Heidecker's music is a joke. And, obviously it's actually you who didn't get that I was being totally sarcastic. So, who's dense? I see you're a Wilcox fan. I'be been given a credit on A Ghost Is Born for working with their drummer, Glenn Kotche, who is a friend.

[@hostonlive05]

Couldnt agree more bro and fuck that smart ass above me

[@mirlman69]

+Adam Stevenson I'd rank them 2nd to the Foo Fighters ... both bands played recently on the first day of the 2015 Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The Foo Fighters were headlining the show that day and they were spectacular as usual. David Grohl best Britt Daniel on that day anyway. This is an awesome song though.

[@smeaglerG]

The Foo Fighters fucking blow. What a stupid one up. LaPlante is LaGay as fuck.

[@WiloPolis03]

I mean Spoon is one of my favorite bands ever but what is this thread lmao

[@jiggyy]

The world needs more music from Spoon :)

[@AJ-dw9or]

Derek Dumele I bet you're happy

[@starchamberlain]

The best American band. Period.

[@dedorsey1106]

Best band in America. I second that.

[@StonefolkNetwork]

Still true 7 years later!

[@Hzsigmameal]

@@StonefolkNetwork still true in 2024

[@SOLOTONE]

This band captures everything I love about music. It is what it is to you, and as a musician and listener, they are so much to me.

[@ashreedplaysminecraft8309]

I was captured by this band. Great songs, i listened all songs from this album, it was catchy, and awesome. I hope they make more songs.

[@MrSummerjamsam]

I can't believe it's been four years...Spoon is my favorite band and I am beyond happy to hear some new tunes. How this band keeps flying under the radar is beyond me. Best american rock band hands down. Can't wait to hear more!

[@justinmorris2740]

Love spoon, sounds like they have smashed out of the park again. How aren't they one of the biggest bands in the world? Every album they have done has been awesome.

[@MrWiethaus]

The funny thing is that you wrote this 3 years ago.... I am still wondering.

[@dietpopkid]

He “rented a room” in The Beast and Dragon, Adored and shook his twin who said,"that's the rent you pay." They want to tear out his soul, but feeling it and believing, it's called rock and roll. Curious if there really is a backmasking message. Hollywood Forever concert will be awesome!

[@Carrots43]

These guys to me, are the modern day Beatles

[@johnking3341]

F☆cking Low-Fi genious! Something in those vocals...the grit.. the angst. "No I ain't your dancer" Brilliant!!

[@roywendt6870]

He don't make time for holy rollers-but they may wash his feet.

[@CleoandCoco]

This song gets better as you play it louder. Crank up the volume and like this comment if you agree.

[@christinecampbell6208]

Aaron Powell I agree=lots of volume-old school rock

[@AttackOfTheAnchovies]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM THIS SONG ALONE MAKES ME CRY FROM HOW HAPPY I AM THAT YOU GUYS ARE RELEASING NEW MUSIC

[@FrankJAlejo]

LOL HOW FUNNY IS THIS. I WAS CHECKING OUT SPOON AND I FIND MY BAE POST

[@cameronclegg6864]

You and bae end up making it?

[@jeremiascampos9587]

[@MrCarefreePlatypus]

Holy hell, is this good! I wish I could hit that like button more than once.

[@Slumpfy]

[@jacdon2]

One of my favorite songs off the album.. Just so damn powerful. Really shows off their attitude

[@sircleahcim9291]

Thank y’all for being badass Texans

[@eyewandersfoto]

I've listened to this track like 30 times since last night.

[@eyewandersfoto]

This is classic Spoon, distilled and recompiled into it's best parts.

[@jeffnelson2504]

Kevin Rosinbum Yeah. Sounds like they're getting in the way back machine, thank god.

[@LADcoronary180]

[@soulsticesounds]

[@urbindsign]

BEST 2014 SONG SO FAR - RENT I PAY

[@TheWatsonGreen]

I'm sure a lot of struggling musicians/artists can relate to the theme of this song...

[@little_wonderer9290]

THEY JUST GET BETTER AND BETTER

[@hanshuttel]

Spoon are the best Mancunian band in the USA!

[@oldschoolcollodion]

Spoon YES!

[@PeterDiMeo]

[@sydeston]

I needed to hear the new Spoon release so badly and this is brilliant

[@PRGMRav]

New music from Spoon! Yaaaa-aaaaeeeeaaa!

[@vSalmon]

Is THIS the song that welcomes me to meet your whole new work? Is THIS the one that opens up your newest point of view of the world to the world? Well, I'm wet.

[@opaldoesnotrhyme]

[@aoFrantic]

I liked Transference, but the first two singles of They Want My Soul are already better then that entire album. Can't wait.

[@LearnersNation]

I am your fan from last 15 years now

[@GeneralOstrich]

Looking forward to the new album!

[@PhilLarkinpl7361]

[@colonelfrost8]

Reminds me of the 70s. im hoping this album is as good as Gimme Fiction,haven't gotten around to their other ones yet.

[@mariamcmahon5682]

Listen to "A Series of Sneaks." You won't be sorry.

[@KingOfCornchips]

Looking forward to hearing the album

[@rodrigodosanjos8032]

excelent rock!

[@soysarita1]

Hey now! :) loooove!! Best band ever!

[@JanelleMiley]

Been listening to this constantly since it came out. Also, I never thought it was possible to have a crush on a silhouette, but apparently Britt Daniel's silhouette has that kind of power over me.

[@sk8muppet]

he is a SEXY man

[@TheGiantcranes]

this fucking song is fucking good

[@badmotorpetey]

Reminds me "Would That Not Be Nice," similar awesome energy. No one sings like Britt!

[@glukopeponi5959]

Love your sound

[@jeffreyleung2009]

It is just awesome!!

[@TheGabolism]

[@shae3308]

"Unofficial video" Posted on the official Spoon channel... So what is it then?

[@gianmariotagliabue8509]

[@christmasjoe.]

Good job Spoon!

[@zenun7]

It's a catchy little tune.

[@JohnRadcliffMusic]

Holy F! Nasty good

[@patriciaforestieri]

Very good!

[@chellie.x.o.7810]

I keep pressing repeat!

Luv it!

[@oppothumbs1]

There was no room for The Replacements, not sure why Spoon should be so popular?

[@cheesedips]

Tasty as hell

[@JG4EVER]

Brit is the song bird of our generation

[@gracefulrose123]

damn good austin sticky stuff #spoonage

[@soysarita1]

This video gives good Love and Rockets :)

[@DanaLorenArt]

Yyyeeeesssss!

[@thefutureheads]

Everything about this band is brilliant and extraordinary, except its name, Spoon. Perhaps something fancier, Mighty Spoon!

[@StonefolkNetwork]

I love it! It’s a reference to a Can song (and their record label). Cool as shit.

[@farting0ldlady]
