The Mountain Goats
Old College Try
In the way those eyes I’ve always loved illuminate this place
Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell.
Merry Christmas, I suppose!
The sun above me and a concrete floor below
Scratch at the chain links maybe bare my teeth for show
Fed twice a day I don’t go hungry anymore
Feel in my bones just what the future has in store
I pace in circles so the camera will see
Look hard at my stripes, there’ll be no more after meLaze by the shoreline while the sailors disembark
Scratch out a place to sit and rest down in the dark
Smell something burning downwind just a little ways
They set up camp and sing and sweat and work for days
I have no fear of anyone I’m dumb and wild and free
I am a flightless bird and there’ll be no more after meIn Costa Rica in a burrow underground
Climb to the surface, blink my eyes and look around
I’m all alone here as I try my tiny song
Claim my place beneath the sky but i won’t be here for long
I sang all night the moon shone on me through the trees
No brothers left and there’ll be no more after me

Oh man! New Mountain Goats album comes out in October!
Here’s some of the new songs being performed at various live shows:
Awesome, awesome news today!
You Were Cool | The Mountain Goats
It’s good to be young, but let’s not kid ourselves
It’s better to pass on through those years & come out the other side
With our hearts still beating, having stared down demons
& come back breathing.

The Mountain Goats
Broom People
Floor two foot high with newspapers
White carpet thick with cat hair
Half eaten gallons of ice cream in the freezer
Fresh fuel for the sodium flares
Inspired by “Autoclave,” off The Mountain Goats’ album Heretic Pride.

My favourite video of John Darnielle, EVER
THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFUL THING IN THE WORLD, EVER.
And yes, I know I say the same thing about half the things I post.
Also, my whole life I thought the song was called “I Saw the Sun”, so I’ll probably feel mildly confused for the rest of the week.
For two weeks, I’ve been struggling to stay away from this record, but now I finally gave in.
It’s going to end with me eating nothing but ice cream for a week.
