The Original Heart

Taken from "Robert Pollard Is Off To Business" 2008

"The years have gone by
Without you
Without me

The years have gone by
Without you
Without me

My generation is losing it bad
All of the good things that we used to have
All out of patience - don’t know where to start
Got to get back the original heart

The years have gone by
Without you
Without me

The years have gone by
Without you
Without me

More information is making me dead
Nailpoints of contact to drive through my head
Building me up as I'm falling apart
Got to get back the original heart

All my friends are working hard
Trying to establish themselves
In the heart
To the heart

They don't listen so loud
                   Listen so loud
                   Listen so loud
                   Listen so loud
                   Listen so loud
                   Listen so loud
                   Listen so loud
                   Listen so loud"

An upbeat and choppy sounding pop gem from "Robert Pollard Is Off To Business". The sound is very stuttering but this is still a great song.

the lyric "listen so loud" seems to sugest a coontmeplative attitude to listening to music, rather than an excited babble over the song you've been dying to play to a good friend-perhaps bob means real friends listen-they don't talk all over yr shit?
