Lyrics
I love you I hate you
I’m on the fence it all depends
whether I’m up I’m down
I’m on the mend
transcending all reality.
I like you despise you admire you
what are we gonna do
when everything all falls through?
I must confess I’ve made a mess
of what should be a small success
but I digress
at least I’ve tried my very best I guess.
This that the other
why even bother,
it won’t be with me on my death bed,
but I’ll still be in your head.
Put me on a pedestal and I’ll only disappoint you.
Tell me I’m exceptional I promise to exploit you.
Give me all your money and I’ll make some origami, honey.
I think you’re a joke but I don’t find you very funny.
My internal monologue
is saturated analogue,
It’s scratched and drifting,
I’ve become attached to the idea
it’s all a shifting dream bitter sweet philosophy,
I’ve got no idea how I even got here.
I’m resentful
I’m having an existential time crisis,
what bliss, daylight savings won’t fix this mess.
Underworked and oversexed
I must express my disinterest,
the rats are back inside my head
what would Freud have said?
Put me on a pedestal and I’ll only disappoint you.
Tell me I’m exceptional I promise to exploit you.
Give me all your money and I’ll make some origami, honey.
I think you’re a joke but I don’t find you very funny.
I wanna wash out my head with turpentine and cyanide,
I dislike this internal diatribe
when I try to catch your eye
I hate seeing you crying in the kitchen
I don’t know why it affects me like this when you’re not even mine to consider.
Erroneous.
Harmonious.
I’m hardly sanctimonious.
Dirty clothes, I suppose,
we all outgrow ourselves.
I’m a fake,
I’m a phoney,
I’m awake,
I’m alone,
I’m homely,
I’m a Scorpio.
Put me on a pedestal and I’ll only disappoint you.
Tell me I’m exceptional I promise to exploit you.
Give me all your money and I’ll make some origami, honey.
I think you’re a joke but I don’t find you very funny.

    Pedestrian at Best Courtney Barnett I love you, I hate you, I'm on the fence, it all depends Whether I'm up or down, I'm on the mend, transcending all reality I like you, despise you, admire you What are we gonna do when everything all falls through? I must confess, I've made a mess of what should be a small success But I digress, at least I've tried my very best, I guess This, that, the other, why even bother? It won't be with me on my deathbed, but I'll still be in your head Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny My internal monologue is saturated analog It's scratched and drifting, I've become attached to the idea It's all a shifting dream, bittersweet philosophy I've got no idea how I even got here I'm resentful, I'm having an existential time crisis Want bliss, daylight savings won't fix this mess Under-worked and over-sexed, I must express my disinterest The rats are back inside my head, what would Freud have said? Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny I wanna wash out my head with turpentine, cyanide I dislike this internal diatribe when I try to catch your eye I hate seeing you cry in the kitchen I don't know why it affects me like this When you're not even mine to consider Erroneous, harmonious, I'm hardly sanctimonious Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves I'm a fake, I'm a phoney, I'm awake, I'm alone I'm homely, I'm a Scorpio Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny Songwriters: Courtney Barnett Pedestrian at Best lyrics © Third Side Music Inc.

    Brilliantly sardonic delivery of the lines. Echoes of the Dylan groan and Patti Smith sneer. Raucous guitar, an old sound but a welcome antidote to the over-technical and over-produced sound of contemporary singles. tl;dr this is fucking awesome.

    i came across this video by mistake trying to find a different song, but i think some kind of higher power led me to this because this shit was like a religious experience. this song and video has somehow taken every thought that i’ve ever failed to express and make it into something tangible not onlv that but in mv favorite genre. sometimes i really connect with a song’s lyrics but i just hate the way it sounds and then i’m disappointed because i just can’t bring myself to listen to the song, but this song sounds good and is incredibly relatable. literally every single lyric and every single line is something goes through my head daily. even down to the fact that i’m a scorpio??? and on top of all that i have this strange love for clowns that nobody seems to understand. if you were to connect my brain to a projector and then hit play this is what you’d get.
