Mason Jennings - Ulysses Lyrics






I went in to twelve bookstores looking for ulysses
Motherwell led me to believe all my questions would be answered
Now i have it here sitting on the table
Another word for the universe
Loose green tea and a bonsai tree, an underground apartment
Check my e-mail and wash my clothes while my rice is cooking
Oh jesus christ, how i hate making phonecalls
So i lead a lonely life
A waterfall from a higher place told me all about you
The funeral of the man i was told me not to doubt you
Oh what we could do with your dress up round your shoulders
We could leave all our fear behind
I went in to the liquor store looking for a bottle
Of my favorite bombay gin, the answer to my problems
But to my delight the bottles were all taken
Ah yeah, another hero's night

  32. p.... m....

    Great music, cool guy.

  33. B.... ....

    I feel like Mason Jennings gets his inspiration by playing the guitar while playing Boggle. Strangely though, his music makes more sense than any other. This song is on my top favorites of his

  34. W.... S....

    but to my delight, the bottles were all taken...lol

  35. Y.... ....

    3 People didin't find Ulysses. It's sad, because this music is gorgeous.

  36. G.... W....

    deff his best

  37. d.... c....

    this song...

  38. p.... l....

    if there's any reason to explain...perhaps cos he's greatness....popularity's not equal to greatness, always...n it's trade~off effect, sometimes....comment from Hong Kong

  39. R.... ....

    This song is so awesome!!!!!!

  40. T.... ....

    He's kind of famous, but he needs to be mainstream or more noticed!

  41. T.... ....

    Now there are 3 douchebags DAMN IT!

  42. J.... F....

    I love this song so much!

  43. g.... ....

    He should watch out for spiders all close to that wood stack.

  44. M.... D....

    this is exactly my life, just in a song.

  45. W.... A....

    @Xndtwo dude he is famous

  46. C.... N....

    Mason is a truly postmodern wordsmith.
    He obeys no rules as he tells it like it is.
    Respect.

  47. W.... M....

    whoever that 1 dislike is.......you are a douchebag

    my absolute favorite Mason Jenning songs, It speaks to my soul and tells me "whatever you're worries are now, it's ok because of this song...budaah budaah"

  50. T.... S....

    Bud-dhaa, Bud-dha, Bud-dhaa, Bud-dha, Buddha.

  51. b.... k....

    @cvrenna Yeah, I don't like it when artists i love blow up and get the recognition they deserve either, it especially bothers me what age and gender their fan-base is, how am i supposed to listen to this and like it if i knew that lots of young immature kids listened to it too.

    P.S. You're a dumbass

  52. X.... ....

    I still don't realise why Mason Jennings isn't famous...His songs are not only great, they are amazing, words can't explain.

    X.... ....

    Xndtwo maybe he doesn’t wanna be famous

  53. d.... c....

  54. P.... S....

    why isn't this song more popular? it's his best son imo

  55. w.... ....
