텍사스 출신으로 인디락씬에서 화려한 활동을 펼쳐보이고 있는 밴드인 Spoon의 2005년 정규앨범. 그로인해 본작은 빌보드 차트에 44위로 데뷔하였으며, CMJ 차트에서는 3주 연속 1위를 기록하기도 했는데, 전작보다는 파퓰러해진 사운드와 곡구성을 느낄수 있다. 여러가지 색깔을 절묘하게 섞어 만들었으며 웰메이드 사운드와 고민한 흔적이 엿보이는 송-라이팅을 감지할수 있는데, 펑크부터 뉴웨이브 사운드까지 센스있는 편곡들이 주를 이루고 있다. 올해 인디락 팬들이 사랑해줘야 하는 앨범. All Music Guide 평점 : 4/5 (일본반 보너스 트랙 3곡 수록)
The beast and dragon, adored You been gone so long Where you been for so long I went to places unknown Rented a room And I forgot my pen Shook my twin And I had to find the feelin again
Now all I need is a crew One that can act as if One that can slay on cue And sneeze and sniff Uh-huh alright I'm going back to the water Been landlocked too long
I got a feelin it don't come cheap I got a feelin oh and then it got to me It took its time a-working into my soul I got to believe it come from rock and roll Believe it come from rock and roll
Where did you get for so long I been learning my scene I been watching my friends move away I summon my love back to me And I went down by the seawall That's when I knew, knew They Never Got You
Great dominions they don't come cheap Great dominions they just want you to leave I got the meaning the meanings air tight Said it's not what you expected but it could be right
I got a feelin it didn't come free I got a feelin and then it got to me When you don't feel it it shows they tear out your soul And when you believe they call it rock and roll And when you believe they call it rock and roll
I wanna change your mind Said I wanna set it right this time I'm looking through you You know who you are And planning for the apocalypse Is not considered Considered cool I don't suggest it myself But no I won't sweat
I wanna change your ways Said I'm gonna get it right one of these days And I'm looking through you Riding the brakes Bringing about the apocalypse Is not considered Considered cool Still you go setting it up But never give it a thought Just go setting it up
My mathematical mind can see the breaks So I'm gonna stop riding the brakes No no no no more ride the brakes Instead I'm gonna see your stakes Yeah I'm gonna see the stakes
I got nothing You got something I feel out of place Looking through your window Into the delicate place Reflections stating obvious mating holds
I'll own up to you if you own up to me I'll picture for you if you picture for me
Have you got the answer Have I yet won the part Is this just your way of breaking my heart Everyone denies it but they just want to be told
I'll hold if for you if you hold it for me I'll picture for you if you picture for me The delicate place The questions it raise The delicate place
I got nothing You got something I feel out of place Looking through that window Into the delicate place
I'll own up to you if you own up to me I'll picture for you if you picture for me The delicate place The questions it raise The delicate place yeah The delicate place yeah The delicate place yeah
Always on the outside always looking in I was in this drop D metal band we called Requiem And they'd say relax But I can't be a man this far down on the map
I was sold for suspect drawings Underneath a makeshift awning Now I'm yours Know I'm here Read it all front and back But I can't relax With my knees on the ground and a stick in my back Sister Jack
I was on the outside I was lookin in I was in a drop D metal band we called Requiem And I can't relax With my knees on the ground and a stick in my back Sister Jack
No I can't just relax Knowing that you're coming back Sister Jack
Remember the weight of the world? It's a sound that we used to buy On cassette and 45 And now this little girl She says, "Will we make it at all? 800 miles is a drive"
Yeah, you got the weight of the world Coming down like a mother's eye And all that you can All that you can give is a cold goodbye The law enforcement's impressed You've survived to this age Strapped-up soldiers They'll lock you in a cage without goodbye For a nickel bribe
But, aw, no, where are you tonight? And how'd we get here? It's too late to break it off I need a release The signals have called But that don't get me off I summon you to appear, my love
Uh-huh Mm, uh-huh
Got the weight of the world I summon you here, my love

Na-na Na-na, uh-huh
The signals have called But that don't get me off I summon you here, my love
You where you were coming up Did you think everyone knew Something unclear
And when you thrown in a crowd Could you believe yourself Did you repeat yourself Cause no one will hear Just say it again Cause they never got you and you never got them Uh-huh
Don't let it break Don't let it start Don't let 'em in Don't go too far
Cover your tracks Cover the path to the heart Don't let those footholds start And don't let no one in Cause they never got you and you never got them Uh-huh
You when you were breaking up Oh now they...they was just waking up Just waking up And back in that place where you could fall Did it pay to play along That's where I'm coming from I'd rather roll it myself Just let it be Cause I never got them and they never got me No I never got them and they never got me
I was a heartbeat on the danger side Just had to see what it all was like Put your nose in that Oh oh yeah Although you try to sidestep Merchants of soul don't let
Hey what you doing on the danger side Yes you're looking for us we know that's right That way you move it's all an act So get in We know you wanna give in And of course we'll fix you up exact We'll mail you back Mm hmmm!
Mixed up and lonely on the danger side Ralph Reed was driving Said he wants to go all night I made him wait, took my time to decide To get wise The fiends are fiendin' outside Merchants of soul so unkind Oh yeah Merchants of soul they don't mind They'll take your soul I need mine
