Lyrics for Dashboard as interpreted by karlgetsalong

Dashboard Lyrics
Well it would have been, could have been, worse than you would ever know.
Oh the dashboard melted but we still have the radio.
Oh should have been, could have been, worse than you would ever know.
Well you told me about nowhere well it sounds like some place I’d like to go.
Oh it could have been, should have been, worse than you would ever know.
Well the wind shield was broken but I love the fresh air you know (the dashboard melted but we still have the radio).
Well it would have been, could have been, worse than you would ever know (the dashboard melted but we still have the radio).
Well we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted to know-ow-ow-ow-ow.

Now here we go!

Oh would have been could have been worse then it had even gone.
Well the car was on blocks but I was already where I want (it was impossible we really couldn't we really couldn't)
Oh Should have we ever even after everything get to tomorrow (it was impossible we really couldn't we really couldn't)
Oh cause the world don't like us it’ll shake us just like we were co-o-o-o-ld

Now here we go!

Well we schemed and schemed but we always blow it we've yet to crash but we still matters where we do it standing out like Swiss cheese switch east and west from right every thought was your surprise in the evening was condolences.

So it wasn't quite as bad as, well it would have could have been worse then you would ever know.
I was patiently erasing but recording your own emphasis after you proved my point wrong it wasn't like I’d let it go.
I just want to catch the last laugh of this show.
Yea, it would have been could have been worse then you would ever know.
Oh the dashboard melted but we still had the radio (the dashboard melted but we really couldn't really couldn't)
Hardwired to conceive so much we had to stow it even except these times johns with bonny at johns.
Don’t wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of the show (the dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Well we could have should have been worse then you would ever know (the dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Well you told me about no one but instead about someplace I’d like to go.

Now here we go!

Well we schemed and schemed but we always blow it we've yet to crash the place but we still matters where we do it standing out like Swiss cheese switch east and west from right every thought was your surprise in the evening was condolences.

So it wasn't quite as bad as,
Would have been could have been worse then you would ever know.

great song, modest mouse giving the usual pessimistic outlook on the surface, but the underlying profound implication is actually positive, to me. I take it as "sh*t happens but hey! we still got the radio". look for good in bad...an unusual modest mouse message

Diskettes this song is a joke but to say all of Modest Mouse songs are influenced by alcohol is retarded. Hopefully We were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank won't purely be a Good New For People Who Love Bad News Album. This song had no edge in Isaac's voice. Modest Mouse is talented but they have changed too much hopefully this is the only shitty song on the album. DAMN YOU EPIC RECORDS. This better not be the New Float On AKA the destruction of Modest Mouse:(

I don't think Epic had anything to do with this song sounding the way it does. I would say it's more Isaac's experimental side. They used synths. That's not something I think Epic would push down their throat. The lyrics certainly aren't Isaac's best, but they're better than 90% of what's out there.

Isaac said it himself; "I wanna make a pop band, ya know?"

Doesn't that say enough? I fuckin' LOVE this new song, and I fuckin' LOVE Cowboy Dan, and I fuckin' LOVE Dramamine, and I fuckin' LOVE The Cold Part, and I fuckin' LOVE Point A to Point B.

And all of you should too, just because they might get some fame and money, big fuckin' deal. Point being, they are still better than any other band out there. I fuckin' hate indie people like you guys, crying because the band you think you discovered is getting a bit popular. If you really liked the band, you'd be happy for them, I mean, christ, they still sound like Modest Mouse, only more refined and a bit more poppy. = \

Besides, isn't it fun when you can walk down a street, find a noob wearing a Modest Mouse shirt and ask him what his favorite album is, and then he responds "They have more than one?!" =P

yeah this song just kinda seems like another one of the more positive songs whilst being completly down to earth.

The songs a lil more boppy but lets hope isaac gets some good cash, he deserves it big time. I am gonna stay by there side no matter what radio station they are on, this songs still better than most of the mindless crap out there.

Wait! What's this....? Is that...optimism I hear!?!

Since this is their first song released on their new album, they obviously chose one of the catchiest ones. Doy! And this is really catchy.

Don't get me wrong Isaac is getting what he deserves and I am more on the opinion of Santa than hating them.
====================================
Anyways I am a offender of talking with no meaning so does anybody have a meaning and not an opinion on comparisons between old and new. Sorry for the post above.

amazing, as usual.
who cares if they get famous?
I'm usually just as bitchy about it, but for christ sake, I've loved modest mouse since the beginning of the millennium, and Issac Brock should get the nobel prize or something. he's so amazing. Cut the guy some damn slack.

amazing. amazing. amazing.

Don't worry about what people think. Listen to the music you love. Music was made to be appreciated.

Anyone who says Good News sucks really doesn't understand the album. It's one of the most "complete" albums I've ever heard and the crazy amount of themes and concepts that run through it is unbelievable.

You lose all your material items etc. but you still have the things that make life fun to you, family, friends, music etc. as well as many other smaller meanings.

with that said, the quote ''they are still better than any other band out there.'' i find is talking down on modest's music and feel your not comfortable saying u enjoy there music. who gives a shit what 1st place prize modest mouse's music wins? who gives a shit if they take over the world with all the money they make? who gives a shit if there sound style changes? who really gives a rats ass if likeing one of there singles over all there older material makes you look like a poser!

NONE OF THIS MATTERS IF U ENJOY THE DESIRE IN YOUR HEART TO LISTEN TO ANY BANDS MUSIC. I LOVE MODEST MOUSE'S MUSIC. THIS SONG INCLUDED.

AND IF SOME KID LIKES FLOAT ON AND DOESNT NO THEY HAVE OTHER SONGS, WOO HOO, HE LIKES IT. THATS ALL THAT MATTERS. HE CAN BE THE BIGGEST POSER IN THE WORLD BUT IF HE TRULEY LIKES THE SONG IM HAPPY THAT HE HAS FOUND A PEICE OF MUSIC HE CAN RELATE TO. BIG DEAL FOLKS! AND BY THE WAY MUSIC CANT BE GRADED TO ALL THOSE MORONS OUT THERE, ITS BASED ON PERSONAL INTEREST. THATS THAT.
