![]() High Violet (2010) [ larger cover art ] |
Then I'm radio and, then I'm television
I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone
They're the young blue bodies with the old red bodies
I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone
With my kid on my shoulders, I'll try
Not to hurt anybody I like
But I don't have the drugs to sort
I don't have the drugs to sort it out, sort it out
I defend my family with my orange umbrella
I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone
With my shining new star-spangled tennis shoes on
I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone
With my kid on my shoulders, I'll try
Not to hurt anybody I like
But I don't have the drugs to sort
I don't have the drugs to sort it out, sort it out
I don't have the drugs to sort
I don't have the drugs to sort it out, sort it out
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul, soul
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul, soul
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul, soul
You're the voices swallowing my soul, soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul

| stahlwerk | Posted: Apr 11, 2013 - 06:56 Great song from a great song sequence (on the album), judging by the comments it seems that standing alone it loses appeal. Love the horns, love the lyrics, love the band. |
| cShaggy | Posted: Mar 14, 2013 - 03:33 ..although it's growing on me (3 >> 5), this tune still reminds me of its disc cover art.. |

| clwguy | Posted: Dec 13, 2011 - 06:17 I just saw them in concert this week. It was an excellent show. Definitely worth seeing if you are a fan |

I like Boxer a little better, but this one is fantastic. And, not sure if its been uploaded, but their song used in the credits of "Win, Win," which is not on this CD, is excellent too. |
| heatherchickenlady (PDX from MKE) | Posted: Jun 18, 2011 - 15:38 I love the whole album. |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 14:07 Nice! |
| thewiseking (New York, New York) | Posted: Apr 16, 2011 - 11:30 seen these mopes a couple times. not too impressed. sounds like they raided pops 80s record collection and amateurishly aping Ian Curtis. |

| lewie221 (Silicon Valley) | Posted: Oct 27, 2010 - 16:16 Funny, this track sounds better on RP than it does on the CD. The track on the CD sounds clipped, like the gain was set too high and it's saturating. I read on a fan site that this was intentional (although unpleasant to my ears). The other tracks are fine. Maybe I'll splash out on an MP3 of just this one for comparison. |
| vandal (arriving somewhere, but not here. . .) | Posted: Oct 13, 2010 - 15:50 These guys are so good - saw them once when they arrived late to a big festival, they had to take a slot at a secondary stage but it didn't stop them from blowing to roof off of the joint. So excellent live! This song allows them to show off their soft skills, what an awesome cut. . . ![]() |

| jamc (Paris, France) | Posted: Sep 11, 2010 - 02:55 I know there's a lot of hype but I like this album a LOT. Never heard of them until I saw them open up for Pavement in May on the European tour and will go back and see them headline in November... |
