WILCO - I'M TRYING TO BREAK YOUR HEART LIVE

I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take you from the inside, baby hold on tight
You were so right when you said I've been drinking
What was I thinking when we said good night
I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet, domino, bury me now
Take off your band-aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when we said hello
I always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep in the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in
I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart
Disposable Dixie cup drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I've been hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you

The first time I heard "I am an American aquarium drinker" I thought ok I've found a new band better check everything they've ever done lol my first Wilco song and probably my favourite

[@lizbec1085]

I get a sharp strong urge to listen to this song…happens out of the blue. Been happening regularly since 2001. Can’t explain it with words.

[@j.c7719]

One of the greatest songs ever written. That’s proper genius, no other word for it.

[@frankle326]

The drum part to this...

[@qg5568]

If Jason Bateman had a band

[@andrewhale5719]

Crazy how much it sounds like the studio version

[@entertainer106]

One of the most beautiful melodies ever.

[@deadmedia922]

Everything in this song is perfection.

[@nancybustillo7918]

From the priceless collection of music to "get drunk at"...

[@sarahmurray5146]

I believe him

Speaking of interpretation, it reminds me years ago, I was in Williamsburgh, Brooklyn, slightly before it was a hipster Mecca, and was at a bar/art gallery. The featured piece that night was a stack of old car tires. They weren't placed in any creative/ironic/geomotric fashion. Just a stack of tires positioned as if tossed over the shoulder by a guy working in a tire shop. Several people were observing the exhibit as if were a grand artistic declaration. Again, I had to ask myself " is this beyond my comprehension of art and understandability, or is this just a pile of shit? " Later on that evening some old school Brooklyn heads came in and expressed the same doubts in a thick Brooklyn accent. Quote-"It looks like the Michelin Man came through and unloaded a buncha' fuckin spare tires"

Sigh. This band jams so well together. They are so cohesive and perfectly in sync. What I wouldn't give to be locked into that groove, playing alongside these great musicians.

[@justomolet6521]

One of my favorite songs and band of all time!

[@mahdijaffer2847]

I need to stop watching this every hour of everyday

[@gilaalter2110]

Love this - huge fan. Have been to several concerts since 2002.

[@RToffler]

Holy shit his vocals are flawless.

[@lostsidewalk]

I love the Gibson J45, he doesn't play it on stage anymore from what I've seen

[@Daisey828]

Love the lyrics.

[@ZRN959]
