The Cold Part- Modest Mouse

"I stepped down as president of Antartica"

It is a blustery day out today.  I guess fall is almost here, which is really strange because yesterday I was sweating on the way to class and today I was freezing.  I'm tellin' ya, weather black hole of the midwest.

I actually really love Modest Mouse.  I feel they are really underrated.  I guess people think they are really weird, but if you really listen to the music, there are some great musical elements.  This one features a violin (which I love) and some really cool note accidentals.

So long to this cold, cold part of the world
So long to this cold, cold part of the world
So long to this bone bleached part of the world
So long to this cold, cold part of the world
So long to this salt soaked part of the world
I stepped down as president of Antarctica

Can't blame me, don't blame me, don't
So long to this sad, sad part of the world
So long, So long

Blame it on the Tetons- Modest Mouse

"Language is the liquid that we're all dissolved in"

A coworker is blaming me for the crap that someone else has done.  I will not take that.  I will not take the blame nor clean up someone else's mess.

I love Modest Mouse.  I think they're a little underrated.  It's like, whenever, they hit mainstream, they lost their indie cred.  But, they are still creating awesome INDIE music.  No reason to abandon them.  This, btw, is my favorite song from them.

Blame it on the Tetons

Yeah, I need a scapegoat now
No my dog won't bite you, though it had the right to

You oughta give her credit cause she knows I would've let it happen

Blame it on the weekends

God, I need a cola now
Oh we mumble loudly, wear our shame so proudly

Wore our blank expressions, trying to look interesting

Blame it all on me cause god I need a cold one now

All them eager actors gladly taking credit

for the lines created by the people tucked away from

sight is just a window from the room we're bound to

 If you find a way out, oh would you just let me know how

 Would you just let me know how

Blame it on the web

 but the spider's your problem now

Language is the liquid that we're all dissolved in

 Great for solving problems, after it creates a problem

 Blame it on the Tetons

God, I need a scapegoat now

Everyone's a building burning

with no one to put the fire out

Standing at the window looking out

waiting for time to burn us down

 Everyone's an ocean drowning

with no one really to show how

they might get a little better air

 if they turned themselves into a cloud
