Oh, the dashboard melted but we still had the radio
Oh, it should've been, could've been worse than you would ever know
Well, you told me about nowhere, well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go
Oh it could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know
Well, the windshield was broken but I love the fresh air ya know
(The dashboard melted but we still had the radio)
Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know, oh
(The dashboard melted but we still had the radio)
Oh, we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh
Now here we go
Oh, it would've been, could've been worse than it had even gone
Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
Why should we ever even ever really even get to know
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
Oh, if the world don't like us, it'll shake us just like we were a co-oh oh-oh-old
Now here we go
Well, we schemed and we schemed, but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well tow it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon
Every dawn when you're surprising and the evening was consoling
Saying, "See it wasn't quite as bad as"
Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know
I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes
After you had proved my point wrong, it wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show
Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still had the radio
(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good)
Hard-wired to conceive so much we'd have to stow it
Even needs have needs tiny giants made of tinier giants
Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this show
(The dashboard melted but we still had the radio)
Well we could've been should've been worse than you would ever know-oh
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Well you told me about nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh oh-oh-oh
Now here we go
Well, we schemed and we schemed, but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well tow it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon
Every dawn when you're surprising, and the evening was consoling
Saying, "See it wasn't quite as bad as", hey
It would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know
Johnny Marr's wild guitar makes this whacked-out madhouse of a song AMAZING, and every time I hear it, it FREAKS ME RIGHT OUT and reminds me of time spent in Mom's funky old Saab 93 that sat dead in our driveway awhile until she found her sporty Fiat... My little brother and I liked to sit in it and pretend we were driving, like Dad had done with us all in the Olds Vista Cruiser, "out to California to see Uncle George, in Santa Monica..." Car radio sure was FUN back then!
Cool story. Thank You for sharing it. And, Johhny Marr is GREAT!
Treadmills along with workhouses were banned in England in 1927.
LOL!

Great song for the treadmill.

RIP Isaac Brock :-(
You mean Jeremiah Green, right?
MM keeps me on my toes. Even their pop songs don't sound insincere. I would like to hear some Lonesome Crowded West on RP. Thanks for that track.
After 16 years this needs a bump. RIP Jeremiah Green. It would be great to hear something that really highlights his crazy unique style- anything off The Lonesome Crowded West oughtaa do
Ok, macDouchebags... the last several songs have had the same comment. Either contribute something useful or be silent. Just rate the song and leave it at that or change to a different station.
I don't like this song either, but I don't go around posting crap on the boards about it unless I have something to really contribute. I'm not going to say that all of my posts on every song is filled with the wisdom of the ages or has enough depth to drown a legless wiener dog, but at least I don't air my knuckle-dragging and completely inarticulate attitude for everyone else to see.
No?

Heh, it's been 10 years, you probably won't see this but [DON'T FEED THE TROLLS]. I know it can be soooo irritating to witness people aggressively asserting their ignorance and intolerance that eventually you lose patience and all reason and fall into their trap. But... someone else comes along and gives you the opportunity to passively insult those idiots by replying to them in the third person. :-) :-)
Agreed. This song is catchy and fun.

Both catchy and super annoying at the same time. Please make it go away.
Exactly.

The first few notes showed such promise but it sank quickly. Disappointment.

Your point is an excellent one and I agree with you strongly.
In fact, the mindless criticisms and non-acceptance of other people's thoughts are the main reasons I do not contribute to these forums very often any more. Certain serial members here dominate these boards with their personality and will only have their own opinions listened too. Frankly, I'm sick of this sort of on-line bullying and just won't play any more.
Please don't let the few destroy your communications....then they WIN....please speak more.
I was dancing in my cubicle

See, this is something that I keep seeing on the boards
"I hate this song."
"You're stupid."
How about defending the song instead of personally attacking the critic? This happens in a lot of venues, and it's become some sort of accepted way of behaving, but I strongly disagree that it's appropriate. Can we stick to talking about the music?

I love that manic sound of Modest Mouse - unlike any band I have heard before. I'd love to hear more!
I like it too, though I'm not sure why. The instrumentation is cool too.
What? Johnny Marr made these guys good!

I can't speak much for mice, but you wouldn't believe the package that comes on some rats and squirrels I've seen. Hm actually that gives a whole new (painful) meaning to Squirrel Nut Zippers' name.
Lord and a quarter, I laughed so hard I nearly puked! Don't surprise me like that! (O.K., go ahead!)

I saw them open for R.E.M. in Toronto last June. I wasn't at all impressed. Maybe it's because they followed The National who were fuckin' awesome..."I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck this over"
but I like it somehow

that goes both ways though. you go on the internet, where people are listening to music, quite possibly they are even enjoying it... and you just shit all over it? and you don't expect a negative response? nahh... you don't get to do that. if you can't say something nice, just push the button and move on with your life. OK THANKS!
