MODEST MOUSE – Lampshades on Fire

#
A+
A-

This song is from the album Strangers to Ourselves(2015) released on 02 March 2015.
I enjoyed the production and the chorus of this song more than that of “Coyotes”. The production feels really great and it has got that urgent feel to it. The vocals sound entirely different from what you’ve heard from the album. The instrumentation and the rhythm felt really nice and the vocals made it even better.
SongRating: 8.5/10

[INTRO] Gm F Eb Cm x2
[VERSE]
            Gm
Well, the lampshade’s on fire when the lights go out
    F
The room lit up and we ran about
       Eb
Well, this is what I really call a party now
Cm
Packed up our cars, moved to the next town

            Gm
Well, the lampshades’s on fire when the lights go out
F
This is what I really call a party now
       Eb
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
Cm
This one’s done so where to now?

    Gm
Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
     F
Well you all know what I’m talking’ about
Eb
Shaved off my eyebrows when I fall to the ground
Cm
So I can’t look surprised right now

Gm
Pack up again, head to the next place
F
Where we'll make the same mistakes
Eb
Burn it up, or just chop it down
Cm
Ah, this one's done so where to now?

[CHORUS]
Bb
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah
Ab
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-dah
Eb
We're all goin’, we're all goin’

[VERSE]
Gm
Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out
F
This is what I really call a party now
      Eb
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
    Cm
Ah, this one's done so where to now??

      Gm
Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
       F
Well, you all know what I'm talkin’ about
      Eb
The room lights up, well, we're still dancing around
Cm
We're havin’ fun, havin’ some for now

Gm
Pack up again, head to the next place
F
Where we'll make the same mistakes

Open one up and let it fall to the ground

Pile out the door when it all runs out

We're all goin’, we're all goin’

[VERSE]
Gm
We have spines in our bones
F
We'll eat your food, we'll throw stones?
Eb
Oh, this is how it's always gone
Cm
And this is how it's goin’ to go

Bb
Well, we're the human race
             Ab
We're goin’ to party out of this place
Eb
And then move on
Eb
Tough love

               Bb
We'll kill you off and then make a clone
                 Ab
Yeah, we got spines, yeah, we have bones
Eb
This is how it's always gone
Eb
And this is how it's goin’ to go

        Bb
As our feelings are getting hurt
              Ab
Ah, we want you to do the work
                Eb
Our ass looks great inside these jeans
Eb
Well, we all just don’t wanna’ clean

Bb
Oh, this is how it's always been
            Ab
And this is how it's goin’ to be
                   Eb
So, you just move on

Gm
The air’s on fire so we’re movin’ on
F
Better find another one ‘cause this one’s done
Eb
Waitin’ for the magic when the scientists glow
Cm
To push, push, push, push, pull us up

Gm
Spend some time to float in outer space
F
Find another planet, make the same mistakes
Eb
Our mind’s all shattered when we climb aboard
Cm
Hopin’ for the scientists to find another door
