always though On A Plain had boring cry-baby lyrics

I'll start this off without any words
I got so high I scratched 'till I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The finest day that I've ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain, mmmm
I can't complain, mmmm
I'm on a plain, mmmm

My mother died every night
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain, mmmm
I can't complain, mmmm
I'm on a plain, mmmm

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defence I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?

It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
And one more special message to go
And then I'm done, and I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

A dull band covering a great one. Not the first time it happened, so what's the deal?

Agreed.

what's your problem? AC are probably the best band right now.

For you, that is.

Nah, Animal Collective are VERY hit-or-miss, mainly miss, and their last few albums have been just weird enough to be listenable but are actually quite annoying. I really think Sung Tongs was the last really good thing they did, and I prefer the works of their solo members to the whole band anyway.

thanks for the link, cheers

I'm surprised, because I'm really enjoying this...

I've never "gotten" Animal Collective, they've always been a little "meh".

But this is pretty entertaining.
