Lyrics for Nature of the Experiment as interpreted by lvr

Nature of the Experiment Lyrics
We've got our tracks covered
Thanks to your older brother
It's not the moonlight that sets me off
It's not the money that makes me scoff

It's my impeccable disorder
Where I keep on falling for her
It's not the way my mother talks
It's not the people that she mocks

It's the nature of the experiment
It's the patterns of my temperment
It's the nature of the experiment
They're taking me in increments

We're halfway up the bracket
The rain comes through my jacket
It's not the stones inside my shoes
It's not the risk of what's to lose

It's an ancient Russian proverb
But I doubt it's ones that you've heard
It's not the cracks beneath the floor
It's not the fact that it's a chore

It's the nature of the experiment
It's the patterns of my temperment
It's the nature of the experiment
They're taking me in increments

A friend of mine thinks I'm an idiot b/c I am obsessed with this band. I think he's the idiot. Probably one of the best bands this year. I'm actually on my way to pick up the EP now. The singer's voice reminds me of Josh Grier from Tapes 'n Tapes, which is another amazing band (check them out if you haven't already). I eagerly anticipate their next release. Speaking of amazing bands, does anyone like the Thermals as much as I do? The Body, The Blood, The Machine is one of my fave albums this year. I think I prefer Fuckin' A though, although I enjoy both them tremendously.

I love Tokyo Police Club because they are from the 905 too! The Suburban Wasteland of Toronto rocks! These guys are a total inspiration, one day they were working in a Value Village (Canadian Used Clothing, really ghetto) and the next they are international rock stars! They make me want to drop out of school and start a band, if only I could play an instrument. It's so cool how the song equates falling in love with an experiment, science as a metaphor for life. If you ahve grown up in the bland min0numbing barrens of suburban Toronto, then this song is your life. TPC will be huge in the future, can't wait for it!

When my buddy and I went to their concert, we were surprised to see that the guy who sings "it's not the way my mother talks" behind the chorus was, in fact, a guy. Oh, well. They rock anyway.

CharlatanSin: On the record that line is sung by a member of Magneta Lane (i.e. a gal). :-)

Lol.
TPC IS addictive.
Theyre really awesome and hilarious people.
Graham is the best.
He draws me pictures.
Theyre specifically from Newmarket.
Ahh, Newmarket's Optimist club has some of the best shows.

I bought the NME and there was this thing about canadian indie bands. I looked them up at myspace and the best of those bands was tokyo police club. i can't rate the other songs but i think they sound a bit like the hives .. - just the vocals.

the mixing of the vocals and the backvocals at the chorus sounds - simply said - very good. i like this song.

It's always interesting to check out the lyrics. I was certain he was singing: 'it's not the *storms* inside my shoes'
I thought it sounded wonderfully absurd, but I guess stones are more common to be inside of shoes.

I don't really get the meaning of this lyric. I think he's really referring to a rare russian proverb. I want to look it up:)

I had heard of TPC before and thought I should check them out. Time passed and I didn't commit. Then, like, 2 days ago, I heard this song and now I'm hooked. I am determined to commit to them and love them. lol. I must get the EP!!!!!!!!!
