"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.

Weatherman And Skin Goddess
Taken from "Robert Pollard Is Off To Business" 2008
"Yes no baby
When I'm itching to work I will let you know
Yes no baby
When I know about action I'll be ready to go
But beyond the simple life I don't know
But unto the abstract end I will go
Coming at you
Yes no baby
All my biggest mistakes let you work through me
But like a sliver of glass even time won't remove
And it's a mystery to me
How you can pull up the pylons
Point to the storm and say "never transform"
And if it's a game don't even stop me now
Keep me crying
I wanna see if you're hot
Keep me trying
She listens now to old birds and grace
And you want that?
On psychological housewife Trojan horse
And you want that?
She's like cool skin hands oily and hides
Away from the furniture's cat
Says the king would like to greet you
In his 1950's hat
Do you want that?
Answer me now
Yes no baby
I imagine that fate is not a stepping stone
It's like the fact that we stood out as opposites
Now even that much is gone
But for the weatherman and skin goddess
Hot is cold
And at the end of the cobblestone street scene
There is gold
Coming at you
Keep me crying
I wanna see if you're hot
Keep me trying
She listens now to old birds and grace
And you want that?
On psychological housewife Trojan horse
And you want that?
She's like cool skin hands oily and hides
Away from the furniture's cat
Says the king would like to greet you
In his 1950's hat
Do you want that?
Answer me now
Answer me now
Answer me now..."
Now this is good stuff. A proper well constructed Pop Song from Robert Pollard. 5 minutes of verses and chorus and some good instrumentation. This is the new sound of Bob, but also harks back to the catchy hooks that drew us fans in during the "classic" period of Guided By Voices. Its an evolution but keeps in place all the correct Bob'isms. Great Song.
