Harvey Danger - Old Hat Lyrics
Call me disruptive, say I break your concentration
Familiar patterns, like the waves that break too fast
What do you do when it's so brand new that it kills you?
Came on too strong, couldn't stand it slow,
Now I know
Disembodied ringlets from hair that look like yours
Call me the looming shapes of winter dusk impending
She barely fits inside my head, but I feel something
Every element but one is in my thrall
Stop traffic as I lie down in your footpath
Like a simile, I paint suggestive pictures
(Of me and you)
Call me the looming shapes of winter dusk impending
Call me freaky
Call me childish
Call me Ishmael
Just call me back
Call me back
Call me back and I'll follow you around
I forget (I forget)
What my friends look like (what they look like)
And they forget why they like me (and they forget why they like me)
But that's old hat. (it's old hat)
I'm so happy. (I'm so happy)
How do you write about that?
How do you write about that?
Disembodied ringlets from hair that look like yours
Call me the looming shapes of winter dusk impending
Disembodied ringlets from hair that looked like yours
Call me the looming shapes of winter dusk impending

Harvey Danger Old Hat Comments
Got this album on the limited white vinyl run they did awhile ago (I wanna say it was like only 800 made) and its my prize record
This song is so good! Best song on the album in my opinion. Flagpole sitta and Wrecking Ball are also amazing.
Why wasn’t this their second single? This is some much better than private helicopter.
The record label chose Private Helicopter as the second single.
@Afonso Markmann They wanted Carlotta Valdez but the label overruled them
What a great fucking album. Singing along at 13 was great but now at 33, holy shit, these lyrics.
awesome song, cutest profile pic ever lol
Did somebody relapse??
SO HAPPY HOW DO YOU WRITE ABOUT THAT!!??!?!?!?!?
This might literally be one of the best songs ever that gets zero recognition. Like, ever. Listen to it again.
I shouldn't compare because this is very good on its own - but it sounds like something Franklin Bruno would write on an off day. I wonder if they listened to Nothing Painted Blue around this time.
Thanks for the heads-up on this band. They sound awesome, really appreciate it.
To pull off more syllables than the poetry of a song requires is a rare gift . "Call me Ish-mae-ah-hell"
wasnt sure about this song, then after about halfway through i knew i would be listening to it all day
Hard to believe that it's been almost 20 years.... Ooh the memories. The first time I decided to pick up a guitar and seriously learn how to play was so I could play these songs. The first time trying to play this album for my friends and explain why I felt like it was so amazing, and getting that look of "What is this? This isn't Hanson". This was music. Sure, there was good music that came out during that decade that was also good (Not Hanson), but there was also something about Harvey Danger. I never grew out of it, and I would never want to. It's the first CD I ever bought myself and one of the only CD's I make sure is in my collection no matter what. My friends still think I'm weird, and I just smile.
Best song on the album. Could be best HD song
On repeat indefinitely
thanks Darron-i will do that now-
Listen to The Decemberists for more erudition...
"Call me the looming shades of winter, dust impending" ...Bring The Decemberists, HD, and let fly the return to literate minds and learned tongues!
one of the most underrated albums ever
this guy writes the best lyrics since Ray Davies ...very deep...
"I forget what my friends look like! And they forget why they like me! But thats old hat!.."... Man....I just got an amazing blast for the past....
i remember thinkin back then, why the fuck is this not more popular?
still thinkin it now.
KamaCassie The line between having good taste or poor taste in music is very blurry. Why is it Bieber gets millions of views and this only 20k?
My brother got this CD back in '98 and never listened to it. I took it from him and i listened to it non stop. Still 14 years later it's still one of my favorite albums of the 90's, probably ever.
Best. ALBUM. Ever.
Best. Song. Ever.
