Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Mr. Always Mezm Average	#1 by Mr. Always Mezmerized (o)(o) at Apr 21, 1970 at 4:25 AM EST
	"Well all that icing and all that cake I can't make it to your wedding but I'm sure I'll be at your wake" to respond about isaac and weddings, i think this is a reference to a one night stand, or at least meaningless sex. all that icing and all that cake is another way of saying that he gave into his urges. he wont marry her but he'll still be there the morning after. hope that helps.

No Picture Patrick Wanna Be	#2 by Patrick Wade at Jul 1, 1972 at 1:23 PM EST
	It's a song about how the human race needs to take a step back from all of the prefabricated ideas in the world and at least attempt to create original thought.

No Picture Drennan Professional Badass	#3 by Drennan Bragg at Nov 26, 1974 at 4:16 PM EST
	This might not sound a lot like the other meanings writen, but i think its write. - Issac is explaining his resons for being Atheost - we should find meaning in life before its too late - and Issac's jus' talking shit about god.

No Picture The MADMAN Average	#4 by The MADMAN All the way at May 19, 1997 at 2:39 AM EST
	Exactly, Shmave... How do people get so worked up over Modest Mouse lyrics anyway? The song means that "God" is a meddling bastard, and that everyone knows that, I mean even if you worship "God", you still gotta realize that he/she is, for lack of a better word, a control freak. Thus explains why he refers to Bukowski

No Picture Niko Average	#5 by Niko Booth at Jun 23, 2004 at 11:55 AM EST
	Even though i fully believe in God, i really love this is song, and many others on the new album that really question Christian beliefs. So many christians these days are just along for the ride and dont truely know or believe what they claim to. Just like christians will call you a hypocrite from being democrat, even though it is much closer to the bible than the damn alternative. Anyway, the song really is interesting, but through my thinking the only justification of God being a control freak is that we are his creations and just like your own arts you strive to work at them and sometimes are very close to other opinions, however we do have freewill and God never changes, but you are all believers and probibly dont give a shit. Great song, the banjo is really a nice addition and for those who have no reference to bukowski he also wrote barfly. (the movie)
