| | Missed The Boat Lyrics Artist(Band):Modest Mouse
i was knocking on your ear's door, but you were always out looking towards the future, we were begging for the past well we know we had the good things but those never seemed to last oh please just last everyone's unhappy, everyone's ashamed well we all just got caught looking at somebody else's page well nothing ever went quite exactly as we planned our ideas held no water but we used them like a dam oh and we carried it all so well as if we got a new position oh and i'll laugh all the way to hell saying "yes this is a fine promotion" oh and i'll laugh all the way to hell of course everyone goes crazy over such and such and such we made ourselves a pillar, we just used it as a crutch we were certainly uncertain at least i'm pretty sure i am well we didn't need the water, but we just built that good goddamn oh and i know this of myself i assume as much for other people oh and i know this of myself we've listened to more of life's end gong than the sound of life's sweet bells was it ever worth it was there all that much to gain well we knew we'd missed the boat and we'd already missed the plane we didn't read the invite we just danced at our own wake all our favorites were playing so we could shake shake shake shake shake tiny curtains opened and we heard the tiny clap of little hands a tiny man would tell a little joke and get a tiny laugh from all them folks and drifting around on bubbles and thinking it was us that carried them when we finally got it figured out that we'd truly missed the boat oh and we carried it off so well as if we got a new position oh and we own all the tools ourselves without the skills to make a show with oh what useless tools ourselves If you find some error in Missed The Boat Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Missed The Boat certainly uncertain at least i'm pretty sure i am | Reviewer: Jim | 10/27/09 Modest Mouse is by FAR the best band to come out of the 90s and since. I am an old punk from late 70's on and thought that good music died some time in the 80s. A life of arctic sounds is one of my favorites. Most people look at me funny about that, but hey! alright I might be goddamned. word | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/2/09 modest mouse is by far my favorite band. this gentleman has it right. if you're a fan, then you don't just dismiss some album on the first listen. LISTEN. modest mouse's music is only second best to isaac brock's lyricism. the man is a genius. just listen to "talking shit about a pretty sunset." drunks. . . LMAO | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/19/09 "I hated the good news for people who love bad news cd, and being a big modest mouse, i was very disappointed in them, and then when they realese this single I was very excited for their new cd, and it didn't disappoint, this song is fantastic as is the rest of the cd" your serious? ... float on? bukowski? blame it on the tetons? black cadillacs? satin in a coffin?? the good times are killing me? should i keep going? are you seriously saying that? if your a big modest mouse fan than the one thing that would have impressed you about we were dead before the ship even sank is the progression in thier sound, how much theyve evolved as a band without actually changing thier unique sound. if you want to look at it seriously, good news for people who love bad news is a GREAT album if you like modest mouse or even if your only half fond of them. IE bukowski's lyrics, read, listen to them, and then read the poet. it'd make sense then, unless your just a halfwit. cause god who'd wanna be such an asshole. good song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/29/09 I hated the good news for people who love bad news cd, and being a big modest mouse, i was very disappointed in them, and then when they realese this single I was very excited for their new cd, and it didn't disappoint, this song is fantastic as is the rest of the cd sowell | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/10/08 This from an old guy...Cryptic and twisted, but there's self deprecation oozing through the cracks. Heard it for the first time on the way to work this morning, and half awake it sounded like Mick Jagger stepping outside the box, but upon further review I knew it was those "Float On" guys. I'm hooked...it's a keeper! sweet bliss | Reviewer: Shayy | 5/8/07 this song is swell. =] if you've never heard it, download it right now, or just go buy the CD, it's worth it.
