I Hate Music

Superchunk I Hate Music Lyrics
1.Overflows

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

Everything the dead don't know
Piles up like magazines, overflows
And everything that you won't see
Just swirls around
Comes down and buries me

Do you like this place?
Do you like this sound?
Do you like this taste?
Oh yeah, you're not around
But you are still the window, we are
Looking out
A prison and a lens and a flood and a drought

Standing on the corner in the falling snow
Posing for a picture in a smile that says
Let's go, don't let go, let go!

Standing on the corner in the falling snow
Arms around each other and a look that says
Let's go, don't let go, let go!

Let's go, don't let go, let go!
Let's go, don't let go, let go!
Let's go, don't let go, let go!


2.Me & You & Jackie Mittoo

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

I hate music
What is it worth?
Can't bring anyone
Back to this earth
The feeling of space
Between all of the notes
But I got nothing else
So I guess here we go

Let me do back to the mallow yeah
All of our friends with the plan on
So watch out all the old... sea
All of it takes to pull off our feet
We got out stereo freaks
We got our sweet summer breeze
Had it all the record estranged
Hours a day we were never the same

Me and you and Jackie Mittoo
Me and you and Jackie Mittoo
Me and you and Jackie Mittoo
Me and you and Jackie Mittoo
Me and you and Jackie Mittoo
Me and you and Jackie Mittoo

I hate music
What is it worth?
It can't bring you
Back to this earth


3.Void

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

I had something pictures
That was an unspoken promise
You want to build the frame
When you'll hear the whistle
I want ever platform loaded
I'll be on the chain
Hard is this familiar?
Massive packs of cameras and listen
This is what we do!
I hear, see the laughter
Feel it of my .. eye
I look for you.

And all I see, all I say
Is a void.
All I see, all I say
Is a void.


Maybe if you keep your
Hand out on the paper
You can't feel me and
I've been left to .. with
That's my ..support my windows
When I say hey

And all I see, all I see
Is a void.
All I see, all I see
Is a void.
And all I see, all I say
Is a void.

Don't go wait for me,
No, don't go! Wait for me!
Because I don't believe
I don't believe everything I see
No, I don't believe
I don't believe everything I see.


4.Staying Home

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

I'm staying home
I'm staying home
I'm staying home
I'm staying home

I got a list
I see the light
I know the time
I know it's tight
I didn't sleep
At all last night
Turn off the phone

I'm staying home
I'm staying home
I'm staying home
I'm staying home

I'm staying home
I'm staying home
I'm staying home
I'm staying home

I'm staying


5.Low F

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

Brace me, brace me
Stand me up and race me
You found the sun
While I'm collapsing under the shade tree
Staring at the flowers printed on your floor
Well, I've been down here before

And you caught me singing
Said, 'can you meet me down at low F?'
And I missed the question
But you have my answer
Yes, yes

Canvas, rubber
Paper and twine
What will keep us upright?
Well, I'm inclined to answer
None of the above

At the risk of sounding obvious
And oblivious of
A thousand other answers
Do you think the answer is 'love'?

And you caught me singing
Asked to meet you down at low F
And I missed the question
But you have my answer
Yes, yes
Yes, yes

Well, you caught me singing
Asked me to meet you down at low F
And I heard your question this time
And you have my answer
Yes, yes
Yes, yes

And you caught me humming
'Can I meet you down at low F?'
And you have my answer
And you have it to my last breath
Yes, yes, yes


6.Trees Of Barcelona

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

Never were a festival proud
Indeed I, indeed it all
Went on this Molly and tired
For filing in wire
Drink that...
Say happy so happy
Again with back flow
Hope it makes you streak
Day modern
They go below back shadows
Holding their own

With the 5000hopes
With the Chevy and the bombs
Will they carry me they fly out behind
And the world sits at mind
Flying through Barcelona

It got late
Playing couples for our Spanish's phase
And brother, we ate the drank
Then drank and ate
We had a monkey in the backseat
It's scrimpy and jumping
How I went running
Water with the splash
We nearly passed
We all grabbed hands

In the 5000 homes
With the Chevy and the bombs
Will they carry me they fly out behind
And the world sits at mind
In the 5000 homes
With the Chevy and the bombs
Will they carry me they fly out behind
And the world sits at mind
And I met a guy in Barcelona
In a Texas bar in Barcelona
Walking down the lash street
The lash street in Barcelona
Walking with you down the lash street
Walking with you in Barcelona


7.Breaking Down

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

Can you take this step away?
From the scalp a light in there
Ready when you are
To take it all apart
But light that spook and
What was I thinking?
Whispering on the forehead
Fold your paper go back.

And burn that's pursuing
Try to stop listening
Get lost in the series
Follow the countries
And like it's began
When the sun gets it again
Let's stay up here my
Yeah we live by the moonlight.

Uhh, breaking down every day
Into slices and sections
and just slide away.
Uhh, breaking down every day
Into voices and frightements
And just flow the way, ohh
Uhhh.


Uhh, breaking down every day
Into slices and sections
and just slide away.
Uhh, breaking down every day
Into voices and frightements
And just flow the way, ohh
Uhhh.


8.Out Of The Sun

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

Hey guy, do you want to take the early train tonight?
Catch the ferry to the ballpark lights,
Stay all night, eat our weight, crash the gate!
July or August, it never gets terribly late
Sleep till ten, sweat it out, and then
We'll start all over
We'll start all over again!
Now the infield's green but we're all just in between
A short hop and the losing run

Chorus:
So get me out of the sun
Get me out of the sun
Get me away from everyone, baby
Get me out of the sun!

Hey, where you watching now?
Let me send you the score
I want to wave from the opposite shore
Late in it, underpinnings, slipping out
Some bullshit from the bottom drawer
Oh, it's all just trash
And nothing lasts,
But I want to believe
Like we're back there on our knees
On the dance floor
Laughing our asses off,
Waking with a cough,
Oh it's all just a dream
Summer's over and I want more!

Chorus: (x2)
So get me out of the sun
Get me out of the sun
Get me away from everyone, baby
Get me out of the sun!


9.Your Theme

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

You walked in, said 'what's your theme?'
Did a goofy step like this
Said 'now that's what I mean'
You build the stage, everybody got engaged
The barn doors opened
And the music drifted down across the scene
Across the scene

Oh, what I do
To waste an afternoon with you?
Eating obscure, looking at girls, shopping for jeans
Learning how to be and not to seem
Singing your theme, yeah

Hey, what's your theme?
Sing it to me
Hey, what's your theme?
Sing it to me
Hey, what's your theme?
Hey, what's your theme?
Hey, what's your theme?

Let me hear, let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your theme

What's your theme?
What's your theme?


10.FOH

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

Did you knew something
Oh, I love something
To explain why I'm down
Here on the ground
Looking, oh, in the silence
Reliving the permanence every morning
It's where I'll be found

So how's everything at the front of the house?
How's everything at the front of the house?
I feel down but you're moving about
So how's everything at the front of the house?

You're towing those
You're always open
You radiate a radiate and the breeze
The breeze, it blows in
I have to live to the jaws of sand
We get a report, we got struggle for it
Maybe the windows never could
Maybe if we weigh our clothes
Maybe we can keep going

How's everything at the front of the house?
How's everything at the front of the house?
Tie through the ' is down
But how's everything at the front of the house?

How's everything at the front of the house?
How's everything at the front of the house?
I smile and sob 'cause I can't get out
But how's everything at the front of the house?

How's everything at the front of the house?
I don't know, I can't see out

How's everything at the front of the house?
I don't know, I can't see out

How's everything at the front of the house?
How's everything at the front of the house?
The drums exploded and our amps are down
But Mathew's got it wired and we're coming around

How's everything at the front of the house?
How's everything at the front of the house?
Tell me, are you coming around?
When are you coming around?

Are you coming around?


11.What Can We Do

Writer(s):Superchunk (Jim WilburJon WursterLaura BalanceMac
McCaughan)

What we can do now?
Oh, what can we do now?
What we can do now?
Oh, what can we do now?

Some people got through life
All they see is red lights
But we don't wanna live like that
Get tired of getting tried
You always saw the way ahead
Get a hammer get yo friends
And honey I've been thinking
Our little eyelid might be sinking

Let's do something new
And I wanna ask you
What can we do?

Now everything is different
And everything is the same
Can't find the words to capture
So I guess I can't complain
There's gotta be away to see it
City to see the lights
And then the world doesn't feel fail
And we'll pale through slide
Can we put the earth back on the
How feet feeling wonder
You've got a paper, you've got supplies
You've got a Memphis around your eyes
I wanna kiss you and make love
Meet you at the corner of the timeless nose
High 5 ankles around my eyes
I'll say I love ya I won't say goodbye
I'll say I love ya I won't say goodbye
I'll say I love ya I won't say goodbye
I'll say I love ya I won't say goodbye
Everything I wanna ask you
But I can't ask you
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?

What's the question you're as half it's true
Now we put it back to
Oh I can't wait till
Can't walk, can we do
What can we do?
Yeah, what can we do?
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
