Death Cab For Cutie - Good Help (Is So Hard To Find) Lyrics






You'll never have to hear the word "no"
If you keep all your friends on the payroll
The non-disclosure pages signed
Your secret's safe between those lines
The scaffolding will cheer and console you
But remember what your mother told you
That good help is so hard to find
For people who are so refined

You're trying to turn into the skid
In this never-ending grid

There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
Only a fool would give
Only a fool gives it away

You said you wanna stake out your claim
High above the city from where you came
Don't you know the air's so thin?
It starves the brain of oxygen
I know it's such a dangerous place
For there are more ascensions than there is space
Angels causing accidents
The camera phones'll document
But if I start to levitate
Pull me down with all your weight

There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
Only a fool would give
Only a fool gives it away

You're trying to turn into the skid
In this never-ending grid
But you should know it's not ideal
All those hands upon the wheel

There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
Only a fool would give
Only a fool would give
Only a fool would give
Only a fool gives this away

  20. c.... ....

    This video made me depressed is such a way.... “be different just like anyone else” that hit hard af
    But death cab stills preety good as always

  21. s.... ....

    At 2:45 his star wound is gone then comes back after he gets stung

  22. Y.... M....

    This music video just shows how everyone in the animation squad community is copying themselves to get recognised; but they lose their unique identity in the end.

  23. C.... H....

    I would hammer my finger 9/10 times.

  24. J.... S....

    This song should be in a mashup with Let it go from Frozen.

  25. L.... J....

    HAL.... Labratories???? Kirby has changed so much....

  26. C.... J....

    Star bellied sneeches anyone?

    My ex told me this song was about Ben's divorce from Zooey and how she surrounded herself with "yes" people.

  30. F.... H....

    Love the film references! Carpet and Room 237 from The Shining and a check from HAL (2001: A Space Odyssey). This director loves himself some Kubrick!

  49. I.... ....

    My girlfriend thinks they sound to sad, Personally i am more attached due to the emotional impact they can give and deliver

  50. H.... S....

  51. J.... /....

  65. A.... L....

    no room in frame is way better song, but you need a break-up to appreciate it, good luck :P

  66. O.... S....

    0:55 nod to one of my favorite songs by them

  67. h.... i....

    "Be different like everyone else"
    Me: ...what is the purpose of life now?

  68. E.... N....

    after he drops his arm everyone's star hands disappear

  69. B.... C....

    which is a better album though? Codes and Keys or Kintsugi

  70. E.... C....

    this is an analogy on communism?

    E.... C....

    Elba Calao capitalism driven by consumerism actually

  71. R.... G....

    These guys restored my faith in music...great track

    R.... G....

    props to Alt Nation...for introducing to me great decade of good music

  72. A.... A....

    NO ONE CAN BE ORIGINAL UNLESS YOU SPREAD THE TRUTH. FIND THE TRUTH, THEN SPREAD THAT SHIT LIKE HERPES !

  73. M.... ....

    This shit is so dope. I really wish it was more popular. Insanely jamming song

    M.... ....

    The irony is not lost

  74. T.... B....

    I head them on XM radio. love em

  75. T.... B....

    Peace and purpose everyone! Great band. Great song.

  76. T.... ....

    love the pink Floyd wish you were here reference w the lead role in a cage shop

  77. T.... M....

    I'm having a hard time understanding the lyrics... could someone explain them to me?

  78. E.... S....

    this reminds me of my high school in Hollywood where everybody had to be a special snowflake

  79. M.... ....

    This music video is brilliant.

  80. H.... W....

    Are they ripping off of Arctic Monkeys or what lol

  81. N.... N....

    The floor of the office is the floor from The Shining, and the ROOM 237 is also from The Shining... Great detail.

  82. G.... y....

    I really wish DCFC would get the credit they deserve you guys make really meaningful music and I've lived it ever since I was a little bean I know some people don't like their music now but still you guys make really great music

  83. T.... B....

    Thank you, Alt Nation

  84. O.... S....

    LOL Middle Finger

  85. A.... E....

    PERFECT!

  86. k.... ....

    Wow this says a lot about society

  87. R.... D....

    Am I the only one who came here because of Tøp(Tyler said he like this band)

  88. D.... W....

    love it

  89. T.... C....

    He will do anything to stay in the spotlight, even if it means mutilating himself.
    But in the end, he is the one who ends up losing at his own game when he literally rips his own head off, symbolically throwing away his identity, his soul.
    "Only a fool would give it away..."

    T.... C....

    I thought it symbolized that he was "headless" that is, reckless.

    T.... C....

    YOU WILL NEVER BE ORIGINAL UNLESS YOU DO NOT CONFORM TO THE LIES... WAKE UP

    T.... C....

    I saw it in a different light; When someone approaches you with interest in you, don't rush in. You're probably nothing special to them and getting your hopes up isn't going to help you win this popularity contest.

    You do you and (don't give up everything) - someone will come along.

    T.... C....

    The ending was the best part... You're thinking the character you're following is the original, the first to do all these original things, when at the end his head rolls into a collective of other heads already committed the final act... Either he's been surpassed in his own original thinking by the others OR we just followed a character who was just copying like the rest, we just didn't see where he got the ideas.

    T.... C....

    Well put man!!

  90. e.... ....

    good video

  91. A.... B....

    check out my cover of I Will Follow You Into The Dark!! Thanks!

  92. J.... ....

    Reminds me of underneath the sycamore, which just so happens to be my favorite song.

    J.... ....

    Mine too 👌.

  93. P.... P....

    Their music never gets old. I'll be listening to this when I'm 80, just the same as today.

    P.... P....

    Polina Pavlenko this song is really well produced

    P.... P....

    @Gaming_oD oh, that's pretty cool...What are the other tracks that made it, if u don't mind me asking?

  94. V.... K....

    So weird

  95. N.... P....

  96. D.... L....

    The video wasn't nearly gory enough.

    D.... L....
