So tender. So sensuous. Long ago. Goodbye. The rain had a sound It's blinded everything Coming down, coming down The rain had a sound It flattened its face on the window pane And I thought we were safe, so safe My soul sank down Down in the bed Your hair spread out on the pillow In the black fan I buried my face I (something) you Let's be quiet a while Pull down the shades Take off your jeans Lay on the bed Please, it's easy, it's easy You don't have to do anything I'll get a towel Close your eyes This is my sound This is your sound Open your mouth Please Cover your eyes Cover your body You can trust it, you can trust it Put away your money under your shirt You can trust it Jesus You don't have to do anything You can trust it This is your sound The train had a sound On the edge of town Moving around It never rusts It never sleeps It's rusted, rusted It's rusted, coming Incoming, incoming Everything changes Everything changes Outside it's loud It rattles the windows Bus shakes the bed The clock's unwound Stripped, stripped down Darker in here, darker Cover your ears I give you my hands Cover my body You don't have to say anything You don't have to make this anything I'm nothing I'm poison Everything changes I'm nothing Just make the sound Beg for something better Everything changes Pray for something better Everything changes I'll give you my hands I'll cover my body I'll give you my poison I'll open my body for you to Come on come on come Come on come on come Come on come on When you fly you'll fall into me Fall into me, fall Open, uncovered Too drowned to speak Too brilliant to see Do you see it Do you hear it It's lifeless This is your sound This is my shame On our knees You were lying, lying We were laying against the door Under the lights, the lights You were lying on the bathroom floor You were sick, so sick Sick, so sick, so sick, so sick The bodies Sleeping somewhere Mouths upturned into the air Turning over another page each night We wait, wait for something better Wait for something better Wait for something better to come Come on come on come Come on come on come Come on come on When you fly you'll fall into me Fall into me, fall into me, fall into me, fall Everything, everything You're on everything (something) The window is open The bed is empty The drawer is half open The clock's unwound We make the sound We make the sound of air escaping Escaping something, everything Everything's undone Your shirt My body is undone Everything changes Bus shakes the bed The shakes make the sound Through the crack in the door Through the holes in the floor Shakes make the sound Bus shakes the bed Through the hole in the floor Through the crack in the door The shutters are down The light is a threat With every breath you take We're safe and I'm undone And I'm undone Closer I will be there, I will be there I swear I will be there Swear (something) more of what's been taken for you Swear.
It's an amazing performance, for sure. However, I think the performance loses something for me without Tara and Jeff's spoken vocals in unison. Having the two voices in the recorded version suggests the complex relationship that the two speakers have, and how, in spite of the fact that there has been a lot of hurt and pain, "I will be there / I swear." The Everyday World of Bodies is basically a math rock opera, and I think you need those multi-voices live to really pull it off.
One of the greatest songs of my lifetime.
In their Prime! What an awesome bit of history! RIP Jason Noble ❤️🤘🏼
Imagine being there for this live.
Could a such energetic and aggressive genre like post-hardcore describe so gently the poetry of such a subject? Hell yeah
Best band that's ever existed! Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love
Saw their last show ever a couple of months later at Lounge Ax in Chicago opening for Sebadoh. ❤
the first time I took acid I was 15 and I listened to Rusty and Slints Glen ep
Good taste for 15
So tender. So sensuous. Long ago. Goodbye.
The rain had a sound
It's blinded everything
Coming down, coming down
The rain had a sound
It flattened its face on the window pane
And I thought we were safe, so safe
My soul sank down
Down in the bed
Your hair spread out on the pillow
In the black fan
I buried my face
I (something) you
Let's be quiet a while
Pull down the shades
Take off your jeans
Lay on the bed
Please, it's easy, it's easy
You don't have to do anything
I'll get a towel
Close your eyes
This is my sound
This is your sound
Open your mouth
Please
Cover your eyes
Cover your body
You can trust it, you can trust it
Put away your money under your shirt
You can trust it
Jesus
You don't have to do anything
You can trust it
This is your sound
The train had a sound
On the edge of town
Moving around
It never rusts
It never sleeps
It's rusted, rusted
It's rusted, coming
Incoming, incoming
Everything changes
Everything changes
Outside it's loud
It rattles the windows
Bus shakes the bed
The clock's unwound
Stripped, stripped down
Darker in here, darker
Cover your ears
I give you my hands
Cover my body
You don't have to say anything
You don't have to make this anything
I'm nothing
I'm poison
Everything changes
I'm nothing
Just make the sound
Beg for something better
Everything changes
Pray for something better
Everything changes
I'll give you my hands
I'll cover my body
I'll give you my poison
I'll open my body for you to
Come on come on come
Come on come on come
Come on come on
When you fly you'll fall into me
Fall into me, fall
Open, uncovered
Too drowned to speak
Too brilliant to see
Do you see it
Do you hear it
It's lifeless
This is your sound
This is my shame
On our knees
You were lying, lying
We were laying against the door
Under the lights, the lights
You were lying on the bathroom floor
You were sick, so sick
Sick, so sick, so sick, so sick
The bodies
Sleeping somewhere
Mouths upturned into the air
Turning over another page each night
We wait, wait for something better
Wait for something better
Wait for something better to come
Come on come on come
Come on come on come
Come on come on
When you fly you'll fall into me
Fall into me, fall into me, fall into me, fall
Everything, everything
You're on everything
(something)
The window is open
The bed is empty
The drawer is half open
The clock's unwound
We make the sound
We make the sound of air escaping
Escaping something, everything
Everything's undone
Your shirt
My body is undone
Everything changes
Bus shakes the bed
The shakes make the sound
Through the crack in the door
Through the holes in the floor
Shakes make the sound
Bus shakes the bed
Through the hole in the floor
Through the crack in the door
The shutters are down
The light is a threat
With every breath you take
We're safe and I'm undone
And I'm undone
Closer
I will be there, I will be there
I swear
I will be there
Swear
(something) more of what's been taken for you
Swear.
So much frustration. Thanks for writing all this out.
Jesus this is fucking intense!
I’ve been listening to this band for like 20 years & I never actually looked up & read the lyrics.
The best Rodan song, ugh this composition gets me every time. Thank you so much for sharing this live performance 🧡
When I heard this song it immediately became one of my favourites of all time. Classic.
legendary! man, these guys were tight!
stunning. almost exactly like the album. please keep this post up. so good.
Seen them with eggs and hung out after show lovely guys, beck dance was awesome,, song hits on so many levels
Simply delightful.
What a recording.
HELLL YEAH
Fucking amazing
maybe the only good song to have ever been written
Rusty was 🔥 great album!
fucking epic
representative of the age of enlightenment...
Does anyone know what kind of guitar that is? I think on is a mustang, but not sure about the other.
Judging the the top cutaway extension and the odd headstock, I would guess Parker Maxxfly or a dragon fly
G&L SC-3 1987
Incredible performance! Anybody know who was playing drums?
That's the amazing Kevin Coultas, as far as I know.
i clicked this vid because of the rodan monster in godzillaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
