Animal Collective - Daily Routine Lyrics






Just a sec more in my bed
Hope the machine's working right
When it's just precisely tuned
Is how it comes out so nice

Make sure my kid's got a jacket
Keys and coat and shoes and hat
Strap a stroller to my back
Bouncing along every crack

What can I do to make it fast?
Sing a song to pass the playground
What can I do as traffic pass?
Guard my girl from muffler's black gas
What can I do to make it fast?
Pop a jump but not too hard
Take a little left up at the rest
Stop and look at the traffic signal

Up uneven steps and talking's hard

Just a sec more in my bed
Hope my machine's working right

    Brian Wilson and The beach boys

    n.... c....

    Just a sec more in my bed
    Hope the machine's working right
    When it's just precisely tuned
    That's how it comes out so nice
    Make sure my kid's got a dress
    and coat and shoes and hat
    Strap a stroller to my back
    Bouncing along every crack
    What can I do to make it pass?
    Sing a song to pass the playground
    What can I do as traffic pass?
    Guard my girl from muffler's black gas
    What can I do to make it fast?
    Pop a jump but not too hard
    Take a little left up at the right
    Stop and look at the traffic signal
    Up uneven steps and talking's hard

  9. L.... G....

    Just a sec more in my bed
    Hope my machine's working right
    When it's just precisely tuned
    That shit's gonna be so nice

    Make sure my kid's got a jacket
    Keys and coat and shoes and hat
    Strap a stroller to my back
    Bouncing along every crack

    What good is it to make it fast
    Sing a song to pass the playground
    What can I do as traffic pass
    Guard my girl from muffler's black gas
    What can I do to make it fast
    Pop a jump but not too hard
    And we'll end up at the ramp
    Stop and look at the traffic signal

    Sec more in my bed
    Hope my machine's working right
    When it's just precisely tuned
    That shit's gonna be so nice

    Make sure my kid's got a jacket
    Keys and coat and shoes and hat
    Strap a stroller to my back
    Bouncing along every crack

    What good is it to make it fast
    Sing a song to pass the playground
    What can I do as traffic pass
    Guard my girl from muffler's black gas
    What can I do to make it fast
    Pop a jump but not too hard
    And we'll end up at the ramp
    Stop and look at the traffic signal

  21. E.... ....

    2:23 and beyond makes me cry.

    beeeeeeeeeeeeed

    t.... i....

    i know mang, I just thought he was saying that when I heard it the first time, and I still think it sounds cooler

  42. S.... J....

    organ synth part reminds me of parts of Philip Glass's The Photographer

    S.... J....

    Ha, I thought it was Terry Riley influenced.

    S.... J....

    oh yeah i could definitely hear that

  43. r.... ....

    Te ho jo

  44. T.... ....

    The ending to this song sounds so much like the ending to Long Long Long by the Beatles. Love it!

    T.... ....

    The guitar like a siren. I hear it. just for a second...

  45. F.... J....

    Just a sec more in my bed.
    Just a signal in my head.

  46. B.... u....

    this is magic

  47. S.... F....

    Saw them live last night and this song sounded absolutely amazing

  48. M.... K....

    I can't wait to see them tomorrow!!!!

  49. m.... ....

    just a sec more in my bed

  50. G.... K....

    this song reminds me of a dream I had

  51. A.... ....

    >What can I do as traffic pass, gaurd my girl from all those black guys

    What did he mean by this?

    A.... ....

    Alex Rozinov lmfao

    A.... ....

    I hope he said that, it's a fair question and answer

    A.... ....

    not the lyrics lol

    A.... ....

    guard my girl from all those black asses..? O.O

  52. E.... D....

    post pavilion is probably my favorite album

    E.... D....

    it's def up there

  53. C.... ....

    This has to the best song

  54. J.... ....

    Finally found this fucking song

  55. R.... F....

    I heard the voice of God when they played this live

  56. G.... F....

    for years i thought he was saying "just a signal in my head"

    G.... F....

    Gregory Fister i think he sings "just a sec more in my bed" during the verses and then "just a signal in my head" during the last few minutes

  57. R.... ....

    this was great at Emo's in Austin. Love you Panda!

  58. z.... ....

    i love this

  59. a.... ....

    Panico na TV

  60. a.... ....

    so I just found out
    about animal collective and I love them. Can anyone recommend any albums I should listen to first?

    a.... ....

    Sung Tongs all the way to Painting With, then go back to their earlier stuff. Make sure to check out their EPs too, like Water Curses and Fall Be Kind. Feels is my favorite followed by Strawberry Jam, but they're all pretty amazing.

    a.... ....

    +Zac Rombyer sweet thanks man, I will look into it :)

    a.... ....

    +ace101ification I'd go by this flowchart: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Tb9rkAlL2k/UQSN0hjbEnI/AAAAAAAAEmU/c9kAMmBlFeo/s1600/1357597559886.png

  61. j.... s....

    Is he making the samples in the beginning?

  62. K.... ....

    this song reminds me of senior year back in 2009

    K.... ....

    +Kibbl3znBitz damn same here bro

    K.... ....

    same ! senior year wow.. weird

    K.... ....

    same. I remember listening to it at State wrestling in the tacoma dome. I was walking around with these big ass retro looking headphonees that cancelled out everything with some crazy bass boost. after i lost out I was just walking around the stadium in circles weaving through the same huge crowd. i probably did the whole album. crazy how vivid i can remember it when i hear this

    K.... ....

    @Talespins yea that sounds awesome. Glad you also knew to wear good headphones or have good audio with this song especially ,cus I did too and it was/is pure magic with a good EQ on it and noise cancelation definitely.

  63. N.... E....

    That feeling when you get to the final half of this song and you feel like you´re no made of flesh anymore

    N.... E....

    That makes no sense

    N.... E....

    @Boolooon Great song

    N.... E....

    Made total sense, just like a floating orb of energy

  64. s.... f....

    my entire asshole loves this song :)

    s.... f....

    I was expecting the first comment to see be about something corny like "I listen to this as my daily routine" but no, it was this..

    s.... f....

    I listen to this as my Daily Routine

  65. a.... ....

    0:28 "Oh Well, she twerkin' fine"

    a.... ....

    black anime guy I can't hear that even when I'm trying to

    a.... ....

    hes saying hope my machine is working fine (i thought he said that too lol)

    a.... ....

    Nope, can't hear it

  66. d.... ....

    good shit

  67. P.... H....

    "Guard my girl from Marvin's black ass"

  68. R.... B....

    listening to animal collective more and more I can definitely hear yes inspired riffs

    R.... B....

    +Drake vevo YES!!!!

    R.... B....

    You mean "yes" the 70s progressive band?

    R.... B....

    yes is highly influential in todays indie and neo psych rock

  69. C.... M....

    Just a Sycamore in my bed?

    C.... M....

    Just a sec more in my bed, hence "daily routine"

    C.... M....

    @THE-SOLID-BUSH OOOOOOOH thanks

  70. I.... M....

    uh where are the breakdowns

  71. J.... C....

    Meu amigooooo

    J.... C....

    +Jean Carlos Pensei o mesmooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Amaury Dumbooooooooooooo kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  72. F.... P....

    fantastic vocals

  73. S.... N....

    Odiei essa musica so marquei como gostei para tirar o 666 de visualizações

  74. J.... H....

    Sounds like this song tryna say he wanna stay in bed cause he tired of that routine.

    J.... H....

    just like 'Mr Noah' from Panda Bear' solo work, ever heard of it?

    J.... H....

    Jamie Hill he is just relating to a feeling , that's what all music does, and the happiness of the song suggests the ambiguity around that line

    J.... H....

    And a little similar to Strawberry Jam's Chores.

  75. A.... 8....

    And there it is, an amazing song from my all-time-favourite album and misicians <3

    A.... 8....

    +Atrament 8
    Yea, cant get enought of this song in particular though!

  76. J.... ....

    The back of my brain loves this song :)

  77. A.... M....

    this is exactly what I hear when im waking up to an alarm clock. not literally, but the organ noise would be the alarm and the rest of the song would be the time where you're half awake waiting for the alarm to go off again

    A.... M....

    Aidan Marshall literally me rit na

  78. n.... f....

    Funny when people try to label them as "hipster kids trying to be cool" when they've been playing shows and composing experimental music since the late 90's.

    The logic of people nowadays.

    n.... f....

    That's soooo stupid! They're out of any musical standard!

    n.... f....

    not funny comedy I didnt know the 90's was a while ago. lol. The 70-80's was a while ago.

    n.... f....

    The late 90s were 20 years ago dude. That's a long time.

    n.... f....

    I mean you can't deny hipsters would and do love this song, but I mean anyone who listens to it should probably love this.

    n.... f....

    You gotta admit the videos of them performing sung tongs stuff in the early days are pretty funny.

  79. G.... ....

    I'll always associate this song with the peak of a really nice acid trip. 

    G.... ....

    @carri3mari3 hahaha exactly what i was thinking

    G.... ....

    +carri3mari3 I actually listened to this on acid and it felt like all of my negative thoughts washed away with the song. 10/10, would do again.

    G.... ....

    +carri3mari3 Shrooms for me but same =)

    G.... ....

    +carri3mari3 That fuckin' chihuahua made me lol for like 5 minutes straight

    G.... ....

    I have never seen an angry Chihuahua in this habitat. Especially with an weird as hell face.

  80. D.... V....

    Just Gorgeous

  81. D.... P....

    lovely!

  82. D.... ....

    Animal Collective:  Making everyday life interesting since 1999

  83. T.... D....

    Beautiful song that I associate with flexibility lessons.  I also love the false movement illusion used for the placeholder background.

    T.... D....

    thats the album cover

    T.... D....

    Fun fact: the pattern causing the illusions was discovered over a thousand years ago by laying seeds in sand

  84. C.... S....

    Gives me chills at the end. Every time.

  85. d.... ....

    to jest totalnie w szoku album!!!!!! w ogole ta muzyka to jest cos kompletnie odrebnego i innego

  86. S.... C....

    that hi res pic is great

  87. O.... F....

    Woah. interesting!

  88. I.... ....

    my love

  89. J.... B....

    Epiphany inducing song

  90. H.... ....

    I love My Girls and Summertime Clothes and all, but honestly this is the one track on the album that gives me the best emotional response. Well I wouldn't use "best" in the way that you may think. The end of this song never fails to fill me with an intriguing, strange aching sadness. Its crazy. I would be lying if I told you this song hasn't made me break down on more than one occasion.

  91. P.... S....

    We're on the same side here but I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. Animal collective is much more talented and makes better music than Kid Cudi in my opinion. They are not however, "prize winning" physicists in comparison to Kid Cudi. This isn't because they're not as good, but because they do not have as much publicity or appreciation for their music. I'm saying that whereas Kid Cudi is already a established big name in the game, Animal Collective are still only on the rise.

  92. P.... S....

    I'll tell you why. Animal Collective are relatively unknown in the grand scheme of music. Kid Kudi, on the other hand, is very well known. I'll liken it to a Nobel Prize winning physicist liking my modest science fair project. It's just cool to know that someone so high up appreciates your relatively unknown yet quality work.

  93. U.... ....

    "OH MY GOD!" KID CUDI WATCHED THIS!!!" Get over it. People watch things, why should we care.

  94. U.... ....

    That's called depression. You might want to get a shotgun and end it, man.

  95. P.... ....

    My morning alarm

  96. b.... ....

    only boring people get bored

  97. E.... B....

    I listen to the song like normal, but when the end comes near, I unplug my speakers, put on my headset, lay down on the floor looking up, cover my eyes with a pillow blocking out any speck of light placing my mind in complete darkness, and squeeze my headset to my ears. And oh my God. 2:14 on, i trip. out. my whole body gets waves of chills and heat.

  98. P.... ....

    the back ground is moving right or just me xD

  99. s.... ....

    The falling vocal at the end is from the original Willy Wonka movie when Veruca Salt falls down the chute.
