Lyric discussion by ahab3 

Are these official somehow? Cause I'm hearing some different things.

Such as:

"Present company EXCLUDED every time"

"Present company EXPECT IT" (rather than "expected", makes more sense.)

"You're throwing marks into pieces" is wrong, but I don't know what it is. That just doesn't have enough syllables.

"It sort of makes it BREED" (less sense, I know, but there's definitely a hard "d" there.)

"But THERE'S a string of divorces" (Or something like that. It's definitely not "like".)

"This BASEMENT has a cold glow Though it's better than a bunch of OTHERS"

"IT'S YOUR SHOW" x4

What's the extended word after "Work a little bit"? "AND YOU GO" (followed by "Stop" repeatedly)

"It's as though he's home with you" is wrong, but again, I don't know what it is.

Also, the first "Present company accepted" should be "excepted", it's a saying.

Other than that, thanks! This song is fantastic.

Far from official. I just figured that since I had nothing else to do today, I would put the lyrics up so some speculation on what James Murphy might actually be saying could be done.

Thanks for your suggestions. Editing them in now.

Also, I agree, this song is one of my favourites, but I honestly got halfway through it, and was like, "...I might have understood four words so far," hahaha.

i think it's "present company excepted" like, every time.

this song is good.
