Grass Lyrics
i was walking on feet just like my fathers and my knees were trying to reach you at
your mothers cause my nose was screaming that you smelled like a lover but my hands were happy to treat you like a brother then we do the dance up on the plains then i shake your shoulders you push me down into the grains who rubs our noses in the night? we do we do pow pow now now pow pow now now ive been into the plants and simple treasures and i sew patches on pants and i get pleasure and i dont make particular plans cause they dont matter if you keep on foolin in bed with my sleeping patterns we do the dance up on the plains then i shake your shoulders you push me down into the grains who rubs our noses in the night? we do we do Whats with all the changes since the time i was aware its like the apple eating people that we once were arent there Did they empty out their pockets and debase their younger faces and you must make sure your happy when you leave your summer places pretty little femur sitting in my cherry dream boat id be sad if your rejected from my hip bone and my knee if i sailed away from continents and touched my lovers hair then youd be very happy if i touched her there Youd be very happy if i touched her there, i was very nervous how i felt in there i was very cautious whatd you say hey there would you like to see me often though you dont need to see me often cause id like to see you often though i dont need to see you often we do the dance up on the plains then i shake your shoulders you push me down into the grains who rubs our noses in the night? we do we do

Grass
i was walking on feet just like my fathers and my knees were trying to reach you at
your mothers cause my nose was screaming that you smelled like a lover but my hands
were happy to treat you like a brother then
we do the dance up on the plains
then i shake your shoulders
you push me down into the grains
who rubs our noses in the night? we do we do
pow pow now now pow pow now now
ive been into the plants and simple treasures
and i sew patches on pants and i get pleasure
and i dont make particular plans cause they dont matter
if you keep on foolin in bed with my sleeping patterns
” ”
” ”
Whats with all the changes since the time i was aware its like the apple eating people that we once were arent there
Did they empty out their pockets and debase their younger faces and you must make sure your happy when you leave your summer places
pretty little femur sitting in my cherry dream boat id be sad if your rejected from my hip bone and my knee if i sailed away from continents and touched my lovers hair then youd be very happy if i touched her there
” ”
Youd be very happy if i touched her there, i was very nervous how i felt in there i was very cautious whatd you say hey there
would you like to see me often though you dont need to see me often
cause id like to see you often though i dont need to see you often

And then they are just happy with each other, and she "messes up his sleeping patterns" :)
Afterwards they are talking about all the changes that have taken place in their lives since they met and then he is talking about what would happen if he had to leave her, and got another lover. He then talks about "would you like to see me often though you dont need to see me often
cause id like to see you often though i dont need to see you often" which pretty much is the best quote because everyone who has ever been in love can relate to wanting to see their love even though they don't need to.

so if the first verse of the song says
"i was walking on FEET just like my fathers"
and
"my NOSE was screaming that you smelled like a lover, but my HANDS were happy to treat you like a brother"
then why the fuck would it say NIECE?
"my niece was trying to reach you at your mother's" ??
think about it. the entire premise of the first verse is a genius play on body parts. hence FEET, KNEES, NOSE, HANDS. knees just fits into the verse and makes way more sense than niece.
you're wrong.

He was just going through life as his fathers before him, trying to make a connection to a girl just as someone did with her mother before. She excites his senses and he wants to treat her kindly.
The dance on the plains is his joyous activites with his girl. A dance is an embrace of the moment, in a beautiful natural surrounding like a plain. He "shakes her shoulders", like exciting her in a playful and innocent way. She lays him down in another natural setting (grains) and they embrace like lovers. The "pow, pow, now, now" could be any number of things, from the badass impact of the moments with her, or how they are together, or how she is, or the motion of sex (another beautiful embrace in keeping with what he mentions earlier and with the manically melodic sound of the chorus).
He is delighted by natural and simple joys of life;he also enjoys all the tribulations in life, the constant conflict and resolution. He doesn't plan ahead because you never know whats going to happen, and he can't be decisive about plans if either his girl keeps him distracted in the bed, or maybe he stays up and dwells on possibilities at night and that allows people to disrupt his natural state.
(I LOVE THIS BRIDGE)
He wonders about all the changes he (and people in general) has undergone since being born and it might be because he has lost innocence and isn't that simple happy person anymore (the "apple eating people", enjoying and feeding off nature and life). "Empty out their pockets" sems pretty straightforward; they have given all they had away and are they left with nothing, after "debas[ing] their younger faces." You must make certain that you enjoy those years and are left happy when you leave the "summer" season of your life. The "pretty little femur" is a big part of your natural composition, just like your inborn innocence and wonder in the world (basically natural parts of you that are good. the "cherry dream boat" in which it sits is his natural ideal place). He would be sad if such a natural, vital, "pretty" part of himself would leave him; how it would leave him could be any number of ways and/or socially imposed processes. If he were to "sail away from continents," or dissociate himself from society (but not his lover), and embrace aspects of that which he most loves ("touch [his] lover's hair") then the natural parts of his being would be in happy peace. He is anxious in some crossroads decision about connections with people, maybe just one person (the lover); there is the outright admission of afffection and request for company, each followed by a conditional statement ('but you don't need to..") that doesn't wholly give oneself to others (not 'give' in the sense of sacrifice, more like wholehearted emotion).
I have been listening to it pretty nonstop and more lately after reading the words. It is so drenched in badassness; i really can't think of another band like this
