Lyrics for Get Balsamic Vinegar...Quick You Fool as interpreted by Psychedeliasmith

Get Balsamic Vinegar...Quick You Fool Lyrics
cut my eyes out dear
so i can't see your smug grin
you're right you always win

untie my hands now
i'm game up to a point
and we're well past bedtime now

all this time away
an' i'm freezing cold now

i try hard not to laugh
as she trips up on the step
and her look turns me to stone

i'm closer to the truth
she hates being on her own
but fuck her i'm leaving tonight

why should i live this way
when i could be with someone else

i don't want to hurt her feelings
but she's a crazy fucked up bitch

Its from their first album, songs for polarbears. Its a lot different from Final Straw, but its still great. If you get the chance by both of the earlier albums :)
Back on topic...I love the 'crazy fucked up bitch' part too!

well then i will be the first guy to post...

no one commented on the meaning of the title but i think it's that horribly bitter feeling you get after a bad breakup. not that balsamic vinegar is bad but it's dark, very sour and acidic...which is kind of like your mood after the breakup, at least it was with me. i think the "quick...you fool" part means get that bitterness out quickly and MOVE ON. at least that's how i interpret it, and it worked for me!

I agree with the people that say it's about break-up of some sort, maybe romantic, maybe not

oh man.. this song reminds me of a rough friendship-break up i had with a girl. "i don't want to hurt her feelings, but she's a crazy fucked up bitch" - exactly how i felt, heh

cut my eyes out dear
so i can't see your smug grin
you're right you always win

He's in a bad relationship, they argue but the girl always wins, and its irritating him so he argues more and more

untie my hands now
i'm game up to a point
and we're well past bedtime now

they are in a love-hate relationship, instead of communicating they argue, this is their communication

all this time away
an' i'm freezing cold now

he's hasn't been in a loving relationship for so long that he fears his heart is cold and he's forgotten how to love

i try hard not to laugh
as she trips up on the step
and her look turns me to stone

this is simple, the girl trips and he laughs, but she glares at him... this is bad treatment and its the final straw

i'm closer to the truth
she hates being on her own
but fuck her i'm leaving tonight

the girl destroys all who love her...he's just realised that and he's leaving

why should i live this way
when i could be with someone else

i don't want to hurt her feelings
but she's a crazy fucked up bitch

he yearns for a proper relationship

There is two lines missing from the above lyrics after "And I'm freezing cold now" but I cant make them out "if I could..." something at about minute 38 seconds into the track. If anyone could clear this up it woul stop me messing around with my eq settings!!!

Sorry for the double post but I've just found tabs that suggest "if i could hear you say sorry dear"

Which sounds about right & would make the comlete lyric

cut my eyes out dear
so i can't see your smug grin
you're right you always win

untie my hands now
i'm game up to a point
and we're well past bedtime now

all this time away
an' i'm freezing cold now
If I could hear you say
sorry dear

i try hard not to laugh
as she trips up on the step
and her look turns me to stone

i'm closer to the truth
she hates being on her own
but fuck her i'm leaving tonight

why should i live this way
when i could be with someone else

i don't want to hurt her feelings
but she's a crazy fucked up bitch

I think it's about the type of girl who has control issues. Like she just never quits and he is just sick of it. Like fuck this, she only wants me here because she doesn't like being alone. Basalmic Vinegar can be used for a lot of things... I just discovered that it can be used on top of vanilla ice cream. Anyway, basalmic vinegar can be used instead of wine.... Maybe this guy feels like he can't stand the heat and wants out of the kitchen. I like it. It's like a rock back and fourth song... Maybe however on some level he likes it... Then again it reminds me of when Quagmire gets married to the nutter who will kill herself if he leaves her... "DRAMA QUEEN!"... good deal.

Something about this song reminds me of the Pixies. One of my favorite Snow Patrol songs.
