MODEST MOUSE LYRICS - Guilty Cocker Spaniels

"Guilty Cocker Spaniels"



Well I took off running at the greatest speed

I didn't bother looking to either side of me

Oh, I did not see, I just did not see what was really going on

Oh, the trees had stopped and the skyline rose

Extanging comfort for more fashionable clothes

I'd left the hills at this point in time

To run on treadmills in a perfect line

Salad days add up to daily shit

Sparking imagination till the sparks did quit

And if this is fun why'm I so bored with it?

Well I'll probably never know



Guilty cocker spaniels eating table scraps

When we rolled over, how our masters clapped

It felt so good we wanted more of that

But when the program failed they defensively laughed

Sayin' "We did things just how you asked,

Don't try taking us to task.

You didn't buy a face, nope just a mask,

So HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!"



I drew a blank, we put it in a frame

Wait, what? You're winning?

You didn't say this was a game

Well I guess I just have to play and play till I'm out of cash



Before I could spit it out

I guess the words had burnt my mouth, what can I say?

Worst of all I laid it out

So you could take it out of context anyway



We said all along we deserved every bit

And mostly we knew that the supply would quit

But we got going and going and just went till everybody lost their minds

Directly behind being ahead of the time

But don't worry, you'll fall right in line

Yup, everythings just fine, fine, fine

No one's getting blamed this time



Blameless, oh blameless, can we find a way to blame our way out?

Well I post dated the eulogy for every blames body now

We are blamelessly teething on much more than we need now, now now

Blameless teething

Well we're all getting blamed cuz everyone knew

That's right.

Everybody knew.
