Front Bottoms, The - Jim Bogart Lyrics






I would sleep better on your floor
than I would ever in my bed
And if your carpet makes my face itch
It'd still be heaven in my head

I would play more than just four chords
If it's a song that you might like
But I am not very good
So I would practice every night

And she said, "Sometimes, things just don't work out the way you want them to,
Sometimes things just don't work out the way they should flow through,
Sometimes things just don't work out the way you want them to,
Sometimes things just don't work out, it's better me than it is you."

"Break your neck, and I will love you like a bird that cannot fly. You will be fine,"
And she says, "Break your neck, and I will love you every night. You will be mine."

I would stop doing all those things the doctor tells me not to do
But I don't think he understands, I do all of these things for you
And you've got gold plastic on your shelf that they gave to everybody else
And you can say it says your name but I don't think that that would help

And she says, "Sometimes, things just don't work out the way you want them to,
Sometimes things just don't work out the way they should flow through,
Sometimes things just don't work out the way you want them to,
Sometimes things just don't work out, it's better me than it is you."

"Break your neck, and I will love you like a bird that cannot fly. You will be fine,"
And she says, "Break your neck, and I will love you every night. You will be mine."

And today we can do something that we've never done before
Yeah today we can do something more
And today we can do something that we've never done before
Done before

And today we can do something that we've never done before
Yeah today we can do something more
And today we can do something that we've never done before
Done before

Front Bottoms, The Jim Bogart Comments
  1. L.... M....

    The mouth makes me un-cump-ter-bowl

  2. s.... l....

    it's been 5 years since the girl i dedicated this to broke my heart. what's crazy is that i've moved on, had other relationships, and plenty of different experiences. but coming back to this makes me feel 14 again. reliving the pain in my chest and swelling in my throat like it happened yesterday. while i don't listen to tfb's newer music as much as i do their older stuff, i still tell everyone that they're my all time favorite band simply because of how much of an impact they've had on my life. 💞

  3. P.... ....

    if I could break my neck to get the one to love me then I would be fine with it

  26. C.... ....

    This is the first song this amazing girl ever introduced me to, months later we fell in love and started dating.
    I fell in love with this band as well, it was our thing.

    We broke up last night.

    Just then she told me to focus on the chorus.

    I love you, Alicia, you're fucking amazing.

    C.... ....

    That's the best break up I've ever heard

    I wish things worked out the way I wanted them to. Then I would be with you.

  32. s.... ....

    I cant stop laughing, this is truly horrendous. Is the vocalist tone deaf?!

    Kyla <3

  38. M.... W....

    God I hope I get to see them play live again 😭

  39. m.... p....

    I would always see lyrics from this song on aesthetic accounts and I thought it was from some indie movie but turns out it was TFB

    m.... p....

    My favorite thing is finding out they also actually listen to the band and having that tiny moment of bonding.

  40. R.... ....

  48. b.... g....

    man i remember first hearing twin size mattress and i was like okay this is a decent song, pretty funky, but a good song. after that i didnt listen to anymore of TFB. a couple months later i stumbled across more of their music and got used to brians voice and really started listening to the lyrics. now im fucking obsessed with TFB.

    b.... g....

    Yoooo this was me with Funny You Should Ask. I thought it was pretty great and I listened to it a few times but never bothered with their other songs until later and oh my gosh

  49. Z.... M....

    I'm sorry to say that i like this version better then the original on brothers can't be friends.

  55. l.... ....

    l.... ....

    It's a great band check out more you'll get around it

  56. K.... B....

    Who's the girl in the vocals? I know I'm late in asking but I really don't know.

    K.... B....

    @Karol Bermúdez  Her name is Natalie Newbold.  She is the drummer and co-lead vocalist for another New Jersey band called Dollys.  If you would like to hear more of her, do a youtube search for Dollys Cornerstones.

  57. E.... C....

    i didnt think i would like this kind of music but now im in love

    E.... C....

    @Emily Chavez it just draws you in, you can't help but love it

  58. A.... T....

    This song is starting to sound better the most I hear it

  59. S.... I....

    is that karen o's voice accompanying? 

    S.... I....

    @Megan Kitchen  It's over.  What she said wasn't that big of a deal to begin with and she already apologized anyway, so it is water under the bridge at this point.  My intent wasn't to start an argument.  My intent was to express how surprised I was to find out who the female vocalist is and how stoked I am for the prospect of seeing this performed live at some point at a local show in north Jersey.  Shadow of the City?

    S.... I....

    @Nathen Hutchison this is why the front bottoms fan base is so fucking great, everybody is really chill about everything!

    S.... I....

    +Michel idek   Dollys.  Northeast/Midwest tour (and a wee bit of Canada).  18 shows in 19 days.  Go!  (This isn't really directed at anybody in particular.)

    S.... I....

    +Nathen Hutchison haha you're adorable

    S.... I....

    I have an unhealthy obsession.  :(  So, kind of weird, I ran into Brian and Mat last night at the Yacht Club in Asbury Park.  I think I did a double take when they walked in.  Kind of like, hey, I know who those guys are.  I'm kind of curious what they were doing in town, but it was a pretty quiet night and I didn't want to bother them.

  60. a.... ....

    Worst thing ive ever heard, and ive heard a lot!

    a.... ....

    The front bottoms are unique and they definitely are angsty and whiny so you do have to get used to it or just like them already :)

    a.... ....

    Lol why?

  61. S.... S....

    Break your neck and I will love you.

    S.... S....

    But if you don't break your neck I won't 😂

  62. x.... ....

    you are brilliant. I am in love with your voice and your lyrics<3

  63. E.... A....

    I always thought birds that can't fly just fell dead on the floor. Don't see how you can love that.

  64. m.... m....

    well i'm jealous of you all, jealous of the ways you don't fall… 
    if your ever looking for someone to share some hard times with… i can buy your beer….
    I'm the bird that can not fly….

    before you all get mean and pass judgments… help me find mine….

    Does anybody know what album this was on before they re recorded to put it on Rose?

    T.... S....

    Brothers can't be friends

    T.... S....

    Thanks!

  66. D.... 1....

    i hope you guys make this song a music video

  67. A.... M....

    A friend told me about this band, I decided to check it out, but to be completely honest, it sounds rather dreadful. I like the music, just not his voice, and the lyrics are pretty dull too... I guess it's just not my taste, although I do like indie pop but not this band.

    A.... M....

    I love his voice so much I used to hate it and now it's just so great

  68. C.... ....

    I love this band !

  69. J.... A....

    Who is the female vocalist?

  70. M.... G....

    Hahahahaaha the mouth moving makes me laugh so much

    M.... G....

    I didn't notice it for the longest time because I would always just put it on and do something else, but one time I left it on and saw it and thought someone was just fucking with me

  71. s.... ....

    I could have just found my new favourite band..

  72. B.... C....

    ive listened to this song like 50 times in the last couple of days....
    somehow became my new favorite--i just cant get it out of my head

    B.... C....

    Exactly what happened to me today, first time hearing it and now is the 50th! :) Great music touches your soul in unexpected ways!

    B.... C....

    It just started with me is this bad or good

  73. a.... ....

    saw this song live in florida in ybor and it sounded better live then it sounds here, i love these guys love true talent and theyre  just exploring the range they obviously have and it will always sound good, keep movin on and makin good songs but dont forget to play the oldies live!

  74. L.... P....

    LOL that animation tho

  75. L.... R....

    "Pe-order" hehe

  76. J.... C....

    Omg how I love love this song

  77. R.... A....

    Who sings this with Brian????

    R.... A....

    Romeo Abregana I don't actually know who it is, but I think it's the girl from The Rentals. That would be my guess, if not, they sound exactly alike. It makes sense for it to be her too. TFB recorded this right by where The Rentals are from.

    R.... A....

    It is Natalie Newbold, the drummer and lead singer of Dollys.  Do a youtube search for "Dollys Cornerstones" if you would like to hear a song that really features her vocals.

  78. R.... R....

    This is fucking fantastic. I'm going to die trying to wait through the two days til it comes out.

  79. B.... R....

    2:25 onwards is definitely the best part.

  80. A.... R....

    so goooooooood

  81. C.... O....

    God the ending is so hype. They need to do another re-release of super pumped up versions of older songs. The Super Hype Album

    C.... O....

    Crying Ocelot well guess what buddy

    C.... O....

    stopnshop fl 😂😂😂

  82. x.... ....

    This sounds like an amazing mix between all of their albums.

  83. V.... ....

    If u like dis check out FRONT PORCH STEP "drown"

    V.... ....

    front porch step is awful. 

    V.... ....

    @TheScrubDesigns
    I like front porch step....

    V.... ....

    @eli forged theyre pretty good 

    V.... ....

    I'll check it out you cheeky whippet

  84. O.... D....

    I hope they re-do "twelve feet deep" or "just as big twice as swolen"

    O.... D....

    http://www.spin.com/articles/front-bottoms-twelve-feet-deep-rose-ep-stream/

    O.... D....

    Well you're in luck.

    O.... D....

    @Connor K yay

  85. R.... ....

    this was unexpected, love the female vocals on this

  86. T.... M....

    I love this band and this song

  87. A.... K....

    I love this. Can't wait for Rose to come out.

  88. H.... E....

    "I would stop doing all these things
    the doctor tells me not to do
    but I don't think he understands
    I do all these things for you"

    I love these lyrics

  89. A.... T....

    i think i like the echo-y raw sound better, but this song is still super fun as always!

    A.... T....

    I agree it makes it feel like a real early preview to maybe a future album! It picks up in the end to sort of a foreshadow of what i see their sound will become .

  90. R.... H....

    Do we know who the girl is, yet? It took me a bit to get used to her voice... but now I really enjoy it! I love this recording. It's so fresh! I love how they switched up some lyrics and the sequence of things. I LOVE the original, it's so sloppy, it's amazing. But I just love this cleaned up, older, more mature version, also. I love that they are even re-recording ANYTHING... they get to do things that maybe they weren't able to do before. Venture further with older songs... I cannot wait for the re-recording of 12 Feet Deep.. AHHHH. <3 <3 <3 <3 Love love love, so much love for them. Okay, end. :)

  91. R.... F....

    Brian is awesome i hope he remembers me and my dad at shoprite

  92. R.... F....

    I wonder he will remember working at shoprite

  93. R.... F....

    My dad know the band leader before he became a band

  94. D.... W....

    Fucking Amazing. 

  95. B.... F....

    I'm just happy that they're remaking these songs. The ending was the best.

  96. I.... A....

    This song totally works out. :D

  97. w.... ....

    So...good...
