Elliott Smith - No Confidence Man Lyrics






No confidence man
Charlie got a band in his hand
A rubber loop
Says I'm the man you really want
So just act natural
Don't try to tell me your bullshit scheme
'cos I have no idea what you mean
No idea
I'm just trying to sleep
I've heard quite enough
Just to listen is really tough
'cos you're on it all the time
Hearing the bells it's 9am
You better wake up your friend before he won't wake up anymore
'cos I got to split I'm late to leave
He gave me nothing but grief
And some bullshit story only I would believe
I've heard quite enough
I heard quite enough
You're on it all the time
You're on it all the time
You're on it all the time
And you're full of it all the time

    Charlie got a band in his hand
    A rubber loop
    Says, I'm the man you really want
    So just act natural
    Don't try to tell me your bullshit scheme
    Because I have no idea what you mean
    No idea
    I'm just trying to sleep
    I've heard quite enough
    Just to listen is really tough
    Because you're on it all the time
    Hearing the bells, it's 9 a.m.
    You better wake up your friend
    Before he won't wake up anymore
    Because I got to split, I'm late to leave
    He gave me nothing but grief
    And some bullshit story only I would believe
    I've heard quite enough
    I hurt quite enough
    You're on it all the time
    You're on it all the time
    You're on it all the time
    And you're full of it all the time

    Why wasn't this released on the heaven adores you soundtrack?

  6. D.... M....

    i never heard this before. awesome

  7. L.... M....

    this songs my only friend XD

  8. N.... D....

    Urgh. Bury that lead guitar into the mix. Too up front. Makes it too over bearing, in my opinion. The rhythm guitar and vocals need a boost as well.

    N.... D....

    I didn't mix this, it was just remastered by Larry Crane from the original tape. He kept the levels the same as the original 7" single as far as I can tell.

  9. M.... H....

    Love the remaster! It sounds great, such a beautiful song. I hope you’re in a better place Elliott..

  10. o.... ....

    remastered?

  11. M.... ....

    The mastering on this is incredible

  12. M.... R....

    You where such a genius .....R.I.p..elliott.....

  13. P.... ....

    I have this 45, glad others can hear it now :) It's always been a gem to me.

    P.... ....

    Your on it and full of it all the time

  14. C.... L....

    really amazing

  15. J.... N....

    thought it through, his best song.

    J.... N....

    Joshua Nilles it's a perfect one, indeed. but compared to everything means nothing to me? or waltz #1?

    J.... N....

    Yes. This song FEELS so good. It’s a bridge over troubled waters. I favor it. I have probably played it more times than any Elliott Smith track.
    Not so much
    “Everything Means Nothing to Me” or “Waltz#1” ..for me. But that’s another story.

    J.... N....

    Oh. I see. I was replying to @TaylorKing's comment from 2 years ago. Okay. Good. I was perplexed.

  17. M.... P....

    This is such a great song, but I thinks its also very similar to many other of his.

    M.... P....

    María Paz Greene F other of his are similar to this, this is the first single he ever released, and one of his best imo :)

    M.... P....

    @Dirty Shoez this is his first single but he had realeased his debut before this

  18. T.... H....

    first ever listen, love it

  19. o.... ....

    I always wondered why the lead guitar sounded clunky at times. Cause it's not elliott playing, of course.

    o.... ....

    its Pete Krebs and Elliott's wearing a Godzilla mask

    o.... ....

    @Adam Rodriguez Godzilla mask?

  20. P.... A....

    Great find

    P.... A....

    Absolutely! Definitely one of my favorite songs by Elliott Smith.

  21. S.... S....

    First song that I learned completely without relying on tabs =)

    S.... S....

    Whoah mama!

    S.... S....

  22. G.... A....

    G.... A....

    G.... A....

    The best one

    G.... A....

    the better place was heroin, now hes rotting In the ground. people didn't care when he was here . what the fuck does it matter now ? your god? god is dead .

    G.... A....

    my friends played music , opening for him , had to play new songs cause Elliott was "getting ready" .

    G.... A....

    fuck he was always getting ready, he was a very confused man, bad family .... thank god if you have a good family and mother
