Eels - Last Stop: This Town Lyrics
You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It's getting dark a little too early
Are you missing the dearly bereft?
Here tomorrow
Taking flight, well, you could get
Here tonight
I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
What?
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
Well, alright
Taking a spin through the neighborhood
The neighbors scream
Whatchya talkin' bout?
'cause they don't know how to
Let you in
And i can't let you out
What if i was not your only friend
In this world
Can you take me where you're going
If you're never coming back
I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Get down
Why don't we take a ride
Away up high
Through the neighborhood
Up over the billboards and the factories
And smoke
I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
Yeah
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Fly away
Get down

SUCH A CATCHY SONG
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS VIBES
"I feel like she's here with me now; even though she's dead".
What drugs were used in making this video? I want some.
2019 still lovin it!
Wow, Soooo much better when you pay attention to the video
When I was at rock bottom. I got out though.
Rip Elisabeth.
Definitely their best song
Imagine if your dad was so smart he imagined string theory but he’s too smart to actually interact with . That would suck
So this is where sausage party got its inspiration from.
this song make my day today, great!!"
kart cobain hello kart your dead but the world keeps spinning your funny cobain.
Very Beck..... and I like Beck.
The eels..what can one say? Either their songs were really magical and made you feel or their songs were really bizarre and disconnected. I lived in silverlake when they were hitting their peak music wise and I know where alot the inspiration comes from. In fact my favorite thing to do was ride my bike early in the mornings around silverlake listening to the eels on my Walkman.
*Obligatory 'I wish I was alive in the 90's comment'*
Rob Fraser chin up lad, the 90's were ok, buying CDs, watching MTV, grunge, britpop, take that, the spice girls, emails, MTV2, blur vs oasis, Kilroy, Man United, CGI first being used in films, PlayStation, OK Computer etc and not Woke at all. Boomers? It was a weird time. Sorry for talking rubbish, thought you might find my channel interesting! Peace
this videoclip brings me peace
Very Wes Anderson-y.
One of my all time favorite songs. And one of my favorite videos. Love reliving the 'old days' by watching this.
this song is like part classical. altrock, psychedelic with a hip hop beat Outstanding!!
Nominated for a 1999 MTV Video Music Award in "Breakthrough Video" category, work done by the absolutely phenomenal Hammer & Tongs crew. '90s were truly a magical time to live in.
Still great after all those years !
Italiani???
Thanks Mr E for being Mr E; and the fucking amazing band of course. Gratitude, may just begin with recognising or feeling (music), or wondering about the wonderful, wonderfulness right here under our very noses. Even if some of us may look or feel misshapen.
Sounds like they used a sample form the "Pixies Where Is My Mind" on this track.... Plus did anyone else catch the Top Of The Pops performance they did for Novocaine where they played on mini instruments? Had that on VHS, watched it to death but long gone now unfortunately. Band with real character and talent.
Tom Robinson ... It's brilliant .. ➡️ https://youtu.be/wDwO1hECw9M
Quality isn't the best .. But who cares .. It's a must see ..
This was one of those songs that could have only come out of the 90's: this sort of experimental mishmash of genres with lyrical stylings that were nothing more than brief statements that sort of had tenuous connections to one another. It's hard to know if music will ever be that creative ever again, but I'm glad I lived through it.
WolfysEyes creativity and innovation and weirdness are my things, been trying to reach out to people directly at random, see/hear what you think of my channels.. peace!
Omffg i'm in love
Really feeling this song right now
✳️¡ You're dead... But the world keeps spinnin'...✳️¡!¡ !¡! 🤩
✳️ Can you take me where you're going? ... If you're never coming back ✳️
Carrots are good for your cohesive self.
If anyone hasn't already, try out Buddy Holly's "Listen to Me" (1958). Could be a coincidence, but a key melody from "Last Stop: This Town" is pretty much identical to a melody in the Buddy Holly song, which is also perhaps a little melancholic.
I went and listened. You're right.
His facial expressions are adorable. Mark's not the carrot's.
*Apocalyptica En Vie in a nutshell*
A beautiful song that I continue to listen to and one of the nicest videos ever seen
LOVE this song.. so do my neighbour's....
Anyone here from the CogDis OST?
"Hey, so it just made this album. It's was made after everyone in my family died within a month of each other."
"Okay, what should we do for the first video?"
"I was thinking we make a clone of myself out of a carrot and giving it a robot body."
Another true story. My brother introduced me to Eels.. he said, hey listen to this cool song and band.... And i did... and fell in love. This day my brother is a memory, he died from an aneurysm 5 years ago. But i cannot listen to certain music without thinking of him... Eeels is for certain one of the artists. <3
Didn't realise they were responsible for the Aldi carrot.
If i remember right the song is about his sister who faded away far too early
That’s a pretty nice carrot you got there.
I was in 8th grade Christmas break . Stayed up all night and saw this .. forgot all about it . I need a time machine to go back to that time before all this internet mess took control
So i end up here again... thinking about my late brother... All good. Miss you mate and love you for the memories.
i'll come back to this song every 5-7 years - a timeless classic. I did not know its dark origins until now, 20 years later, just loved the song. knowing that adds something; conflict being one thing. the video has a talking carrot - I assumed it was silly. damn
"A toy robot?"
"EAT LEAD, SUCKER!!"
-inside Dr Klahn's secret labratory
Rob Schneider is......A CARROT!!
How did I get here and why do I love it so much?
It's getting dark a little too early sound about damn right. Fuck Winter.
🎵❤✨💎
Que lixo!
"It's getting dark a little to early"
perhaps you don't get too much sun light when you are at the bottom of a well
carrots are NICE
Omg it mother cognitive dissonance!!11!! Epic!!11
Back when Louis Theroux used to rock...
Was this song used in any game/movie?
the background music sounds very familar...
If any1 know answer please ; - )
mother cognitive dissonance
Roadtrip
I love this song and the video too
But why the carrot?
That video made my year!
You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It's getting dark a little too early
Are you missing the dearly bereft?
Taking flight and you could be
Here tomorrow
Taking flight, well, you could get
Here tonight
I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
What?
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
Well, alright
Taking a spin through the neighborhood
The neighbors scream
What ya talkin' bout?
'Cause they don't know how to
Let you in
And I can't let you out
What if I was not your only friend
In this world
Can you take me where you're going
If you're never coming back
I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Why don't we take a ride
Away up high
Through the neighborhood
Up over the billboards and the factories
And smoke
I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
Yeah
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Fly away
he had aq!! yeah!! thats what im talking about!
TWENTY YEARS? Damn, I'm old!!
I'm going to fly on down for the last stop in this town, I'm going fly on down and fly away on my way
- It took me literally 18 years to get here but I finally made it and I couldn't be happier, just goes to show, never, never ever give up on those childhood memories of yours, they can last forever!!! Thank you ON Skateboarding Video Magazine- Summer 2000 and MTV.....
NOVACAINE HOOKED ME
But is he the king of Carrot Flowers?
finally Russel knows wheres his eel
When there was creativity in music...
"Your dead, but the world keeps spinning" - unreal opening line.... going to see them in dublin next week,
Told my girlfriends kids to watch this video and now they're hooked. They ask for me to play the carrot song.
Who learned about the Eels through a movie?
onvideo skate
pourquoi un best of ? , tout est meilleure chez vous
Was his sister's death a sacrifice?
No, they're not illuminati / freemasons / secret society weirdo's.
Possibly correct
What memories, this video! Funny and at the same time poignant, since the song speaks of the singer's sister, unfortunately dead suicide.
Song might be called Last stop, this town... but this a a permanent stop for me. Reminding me of my late brother <3 Cheers mate.
sorry guy
banda divertida.
My favourite Eels song. Brings back so many happy memories too.
Who the fuck is this!? - Sincerely, the 90s
Life is a carousell... there is no particular meaning... we try to make it more than it is, but it is a blink of the eye... and then we are gone. And yet it is so hard to make something of it.
such a good video
_CogDis_ brought me here.
Beta carotene? Beta carotene.
Can this great (but sad) song actually be twenty years old now? It was very popular around Xmas of ‘98. Time truly does “fly away”.
very nice i like the melo dramathic sound
This and the rest of the album is so cathartic - it really helped me get through my mum dying (and my husband with his dad) - thanks so much.
What the hell did I just watch?
Dick Grimm its dark in here
Great song
This popped up in my Spotify Discover Weekly list and I've had it stuck in my head ever since. Little did I know until now that it had an AMAZING video to go with it.
