Lyrics for On a Neck, On a Spit as interpreted by north dakota

On a Neck, On a Spit Lyrics
My messenger in disguise
makes up for such short goodbyes
You can't come home again
Each time it's different
And the yards around your feet fall away while you're asleep

Each day, spend it with me now
All my time, spend it with me now
But each day spend it with you now
All my time, spend it with you now
But out here, no one can hear me
Out hear no one can hear me

Don't insult, it's just a mistake. But it's definitely now.

My favorite song by them!

It's funny. The auditory system can be so deceptive. I always thought they sang, "each day is better with you now. all my time is better with you now."

And I thought, "But out here no one can hear me" was "'Cause I am not a canary"

Ahahahaha.

It's an amazing song, but I've always heard the 'Out here noone can hear me' line as,
"I'm here, lurking in me."

I saw it as the story of a introverted and lonely individual who finds a girlfriend/boyfriend, but he/she still longs to be alone.

this doesn't even have to do with the lyrics, but i am just smitten with the magical little bit of harmonizing they do between :57 and 1:15 or thereabouts. pure brilliance.

This sounds so much like and Elliot Smith song at the beginning, but I can't figure out with one it is....maybe it just sounds a lot like him, it definitley changes towards the end though. It was bothering me for the longest time...but it's a great song!

Oh wait, figured it out. This song is a background song on some of the bumps on Adult Swim. I knew it sounded familiar!

I believe this song is about someone who longs for their lover, yet distance separates them and prevents them from being together the way the songwriter wants. The line "And the yards around your feet fall away while you're asleep" shows that the two are getting closer. When the tempo picks up, I think they are no longer separated and the narrator kind of feels like the lovers presence is overbearing. The writer feels as though he can't express himself the way he wants because of his lover's constant presence.

"Each day, I spend it with me now
All my time, I spend it with me now
But each day I spend it with you now
All my time, I spend it with you now
But out here, no one can hear me
Out hear no one can hear me"

it's a small change but it's accurate. he says "I", it's just very low and fast.
