Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
Exit wound in a foreign nation
Showing the home of the one this was written for
My apartment looks upside down from there
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
It's like a whirlpool and it never ends
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
All alone at the sixty-four World's Fair
Eighty dolls singing small girl after all
Who was at the Dupont Pavilion?
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?
Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
And in the back of the edge of hearing
These are the words the voice was repeating
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge,
I don't want the world, I just want your half
They don't need me here, and I know you're there (don't need me)
Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by)
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away (it goes home)
And the truth is, we don't know anything (don't know)
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

2:19 me and the boys heading to walk in the glow of each others majestic presence
-
me and my friend stopped talking to eachother. then i started listening to TMBG and the moment i played this song he messaged me again
-
0:42 this dance is so stupid, i love it. im gonna dance like that from now on
-
Lincoln is now old enough to be president.
-
Holy shit they are playing the card game Touring, a card game about going for a leisure drive in your car from like 1920. That is some obscure shit.
-
Eating sushi right now in my hotel room watching this.... Everything reminds me of her...
-
“They don’t need me here, and I know you’re there, where the world goes by like the humid air” is one of the most spooky, dream-like lyrics out of a lot of great contenders in their discog. It makes me nostalgic for something I can’t remember.
-
This is one of my all time favorite pieces of avant garde filmmaking
-
That frantic, flailing run is so fun to replicate.
-
the dance at 0:42 is MESMERIZING help me
-
One of my all-time favorite songs ever in the history of all songs.
-
They don't need me here, and I know you're there.
-
The Johns’ dances make them look like the little wooden figures that come out of a cuckoo clock
-
Lincoln was my first introduction to TMBG. This brings back memories.
-
This song is fantastic, but I also gotta say I love the music video a lot too! Super inventive and has such a unique vibe going for it
-
They're very witty. I also enjoy their use of melody. It transcends folk/pop and reaches into rarely explored children pop. It's a bold and entertaining turn on modern music.
-
Last time I was this early, TMBG still used a drum machine.
-
TMBG makes so many people happy. Truly amazing how many loyal fans they have.
-
I'm loving these "vintage" uploads. I used to have the VHS tape of every video up to Istanbul. I watched it repeatedly. Linnell 2020.
-
I always thought the lyrics were "where the world goes by like the human hair" but now I'm cured
