Animal Collective - Derek Lyrics






We had a white and blackish sheltie had a name when we first got him
I wish I had taken better care of him but he had it ok
Im sorry when I get unruly when you carry on so much I get a little tired
I hope you get over your teething it's not easy when you feel sick
He had a sprightly walk you'd like him when he'd keep up along your side
Wrap your peckers what he told us me and mike looked at each other
Like whoa what was that then

Derek never woke up at night
And in the morning he's ready to go
And he never had a voice like you
To scream with when he wanted something
I should have been so much more willing
To help out with all the things
That a dog like you needed

What do you
See when you
See inside of me

You can count
When you count
Count on me
What do you
See when you
See inside of me

    My brother and I heard this song in our dreams on the exact same night. We were both in living rooms dancing alone to this at parties in our dreams......he was living in California at the time, and I in Illinois. I always smile endlessly when I hear Derek! One and only 'shared dream' experience I know of.

    Huh, this sounds a lot like The Beach Boys. This song wouldn't be too out of place on Pet Sounds, for example.

    georgeharrison70 Sounds a lot like the beach boys vega tables

    Noah's expressed the influence Brian Wilson has had on him. I like to think Person Pitch, for example, would make Brian happy, if not impressed.
