Spoon, "The Way We Get By"

[packbat]

All right - I spent entirely too long finally getting satisfied I had the right lyrics (one, because Britt Daniel doesn't properly enunciate, and two, because I didn't know the punk rock history), so I'm posting them here. These, I have confidence, are the correct lyrics to Spoon - "The Way We Get By":

We get high in back seats of cars
We break into mobile homes
We go to sleep to "Shake Appeal"
Never wake up on our own

And that's the way we get by
The way we get by
Aw that's the way we get by
The way we get by

We go out in stormy weather
We rarely practice discern
We make love to "Some Weird Sin"
We seek out the taciturn

And that's the way we get by
The way we get by
Aw that's the way we get by
The way we get by

And that's the way we get by
The way we get by
The way
And that's the way we get by
That's the way we get by

We found a new kinda dance in a magazine
Try it out, it's like nothin' you ever seen
You sweet talk like a cop, an' you know it
You bought a new bag of pot
So let's make a new start
And that's the way to my heart
The way to my heart

And that's the way we get by
The way we get by
And that's the way we get by
The way we get by
The way

And that's the way we get by
And that's the way we get by

[bridge]

We get high in back seats of cars
We put faith in our concerns
Fall in love to "Down on the Street"
We believe in the sum of ourselves

And that's the way we get by
The way we get by
Aw that's the way we get by
The way we get by
And that's the way we get by
The way we get by
The way

That's the way we get by
That's the way we get by
