I mean how can you deny the poetry of 'You ****ed Up"? I can't tell you how many times those words have gotten me through some really difficult times.  I should pick up some of their newer stuff.
And they're the local boys! They come from a town only about a half hour north of me! Love it when the local kids make you proud...  |
Ha! Yeah, they're great. I love all those albums you mentioned and have a special soft spot in my heart for The Pod--it was the first thing I ever heard from them and it knocked me out! You should pick up a copy of Quebec (I believe it was released in 2003). It's my favorite album of theirs to date. I think you'd really like it. I especially love the song, "If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)" from that album. My sig quote is a line from that song. Here, I'll include the lyrics because I love it so (where's that lyrics thread??):
On a free ride home from the embassy
I saw the governor, and his lover holding hands
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
And opened the windows wide
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door?
The time I've spent, working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted
I thought you needed my help
To make it good again, to make us strong
To make you happy, to push you along
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
I was on my knees, when you knocked me down
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door?
The time I've spent, working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted
I thought you needed my help
To make it good again, to make us strong
To make you happy, to push you along
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
I was on my knees, when you knocked me down
Ahhh, now I feel better! Great song. Great album
