"Sweater" lyrics
It was like this in 1999
It was like this in 1874
It was like this when you were a child
It was like this when I was a whore
well
There were massing troops on the back of the isles
They were saying those things, they were all in denial
They were talking about their own front lip
it smelled like, it smelled like shit
And they
And they're eating popcorn out of a dish
They're saying "I wish, I wish, I wish"
I was there in 1999, I was left and I left my old self behind
Still living but you know I'm not denying
Said what I said, and I said this
In 1918 things were better
When I was nothing but a sweater
Now I'm born again as another man
I'm living on this in this foreign land
I used to be Andora, angora fleece, isn't no sound and I eat in peace
And no one knew, and no one cared, and you didn't know whether you wanted to dare
It's not what you were thinking them and as your resurrection breathed out cinnamon
And I was not to be confused
And then in 1882 they still sold it to those fucks
Things have been going wrong since the beginning
And no one was loosing and no one was winning
They just fucked each other up
And in 1999 I was in a park in Chicago
Oh that was nice
He was like a father and he know what he was saying and wait
I'm not talking about this bullshit
And I went to talk to the more Italian boys who hung out there
They said that they would rather see me dead or at least not kept
And they broke my jaw and I was left to thaw
And I walked away and I called my mom and said
Hell yeah it sucked yeah I loved it break my jaw now!
You hang on you hang on
You got your rent on and you were just saying uh
One thing you remembered you were never even once being cleaver
Then you were, when sleeping
You were sleeping when their saying when there was a phone yeah
Mistakes were made and I ended up in Florida
Things were not right I didn't care though
What ya do, and what ya become
Either way ya end up all dumb
That's all right with me now
That's all right with me now
1-2 1-2 me with
The troops they were massing on the porch
They wanted to be the only thorn
And in the court of the goff goff senate I hear things are better and no ones really tougher
And you're talking loud and you're talking proud in your trumpet now oh shit!
Well ya said then, what ya meant then, what ya did then, was ya wanna have sex
And you did not do, you could not do, ya could not pull out but ya tried to
Then ya said well I don't need, I don't need to wear myself a bikini today!
It brings me to the embarrassment
I was sitting on a raft in pond sediment
And they said hell yeah, oh hell yeah
You looked naked for shit but you were drunk you didn't care
Well what were you thinking
So if anyone's recording this show, if I could have a copy of that... um 'cause it's the only time I'll ever hear that either
It was like this in 1874
