MGMT - Inbetween The Liners Lyrics






MGMT, 4 letters, 5 minds, 6th sense. Second Sight? Rock'n Roll is 50 years old, but we are still speaking in tongues. What would Aristotle mke of Wop Bop A Loo Bop? A Zen mantra for our Bam Boo times? 'Expect the unexpected' I heard - as any fools knows, usually impossible. 9 months, the pregnant portion of a year; spent in their company; hasn't led me to deceive I know MGMT any better than anyone else. No tomes from me or type-tapping critics will reveal that. A 5 part puzzle beyond Rubik proportions for you to Twist & Shout to. Never mix stripes and spots we're told. Ha. It's actually a beautiful clash. Hell, here comes the Paisley & Polka-dot too. Watcha gonna do about it? Love it, of course! CONGRATULATIONS, their second long player is something precious. A Gift. To Lovers. To Others. For Sisters. For Brothers. To live to. To love to. To look at. To listen thru. Nine songs. Some Short Some Long. A shy-eyed journey thru the dichotomy of their lives thru their souls. Sunday Bacon for the Monday Generation.

IT'S WORKING: Love? Or Confusion? Reality? Contusion? Subterranea or Sub-fusion. The Quest begins.

SONG FOR DAN TREACY: A Man. A Mistery? A Saint? A Sod? Were we all made for this life? Some give, some receive. But Dan Treacy smiles.

FLASH DELIRIUM: The Natives go all Dance-hall Stomp as something strange in the water forces a Flash time Strobo-cop emanation of the will. Delusion Extrusion.

SIBERIAN BREAKS: A Pop Surf Opera, after the storm the loss of Ego. Breakers on the Beach. Hangin Ten with the Hodads. Distraction. Then Sandy Smiles as the Sun Squints its way. A new day. Cleansed. Ready. Surf's up! Piss or pass the Pot.

SOMEONE'S MISSING: But Who? And Why? Just a thought? A feeling? Or a moment of doubt lying in wait? To refilling the gateway. The door. Consciousness. A lines.

I FOUND A WHISTLE: Hope. Reassurance. The bogey-man Triumph of the Plastic surf totem. The motion of Notions. Spells & potions.

BRIAN ENO: A Smile Sent out. A wink and & chuckle. The Mistery of time. The Air Traffic controller of ssSound and ssSpace and ssSubterfuge.

LADY DADA'S NIGHTMARE: The Mind falters. Questioning. Looking for answers. Lock-loop images stray into fluorescing cotton candy crimes. Impervious. Then, the Release. A Primal Scream for the How Generation. More DaDa than GaGa. More Drinking than Thinking. Less Arty than Party. Time takes a rain-check.

CONGRATULATIONS: The Half-arsed Hugs of routine celebrations. Realisations. Random Aging. A World in tatters? Glitter that matters? The hollow victory. And then Sleep.

  1. C.... V....

    This first half of this song could've started Congratulations and the last half ended it making the whole project more complete sounding. Very interesting stuff and a preview of their third album's sound. Love MGMT

  2. S.... P....

    why isn't this on the digital and the CD, i have both!!!!

  3. A.... T....

    wuuuuut

  4. S.... O....

    It seems so...as I've already written, I also have the physical edition of the album with these lyrics on the back, but I could only found this song on the digital edition I bought on ITunes...

  5. C.... P....

    Huh. On my CD of Congratulations (it's not a deluxe CD or anything), it has all the lyrics on the back of it but this song isn't on it. Is it only available on iTunes?

  6. r.... s....

    this is sonic boom (spacemen 3/spectrum)....he produced the album and made it so great.

  7. r.... s....

    sonic boom is speaking. he produced the whole album.

  8. S.... M....

    I didn't know this existed til JUST frikkin NOW

  9. C.... ....

    This song sounds like a shroom trip... like all the distortion and whatnot...

  10. D.... T....

    Best song ever

  11. S.... O....

    i found it on the digital copy i bought on iTunes :)

  12. K.... S....

    This does not sound like Andrew regardless.

  13. s.... ....

    Sounds Faux British to me.

  14. K.... S....

    Hmm not sure why you think that, Andrew's not british

  15. N.... G....

    I like mgmt but this song isnt music

  16. G.... ....

    It technically is MGMT, but this is voiced by their producer, Peter Kember :)

  17. G.... ....

    It's the voice of MGMT's producer, Peter Kember :)

  18. s.... ....

    That sure as fuck sounds like Andrew.

  19. H.... V....

    .____. Shit!!! Yo no tengo está canción T_T

  20. S.... O....

    well in my country "salvia" is just used as an aromatic herb for cooking...I gues I should get updated ;)

  21. S.... O....

    well I know it was written by Sonic Boom but I'm not sure about who's speaking/singing...in fact it could be Andrew...

  22. S.... O....

    haha you're right, this is track 10 and not 11, my mistake, I'll make the description right...thanks :)

  23. P.... ....

    I only understood when he said: "More drinking than thinking" ... and I'll obey ... lol

  24. D.... F....

    haha so happy i discovered this thanks to @DailyMGMT i suggest you follow them on twitter they post some cool stuff

  25. p.... ....

    this is way cooler than this album deserves.. sonic is way beyond MGMT

  26. A.... W....

    If this is track 11, what's track 10? D:

  27. f.... w....

    i actually thought it was andrew's voice

  28. S.... ....

    pero esto que es? pero esto que essssss?

  29. j.... ....

    I don't think this is a bonus track, it's actually lyrics that are written on the back of the physical cd version.

  30. C.... G....

    WHOA....*mind blownn*

  31. r.... ....

    This "song" has changed my perception of the Congratulations album. Now I see that MGMT tried to make one whole cohesive album without singles in a similar fashion as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Of course, business did not allow a lack of singles.I can finally see the genius in this album.

  32. v.... ....

    @facepalmxox haha spose that;s true :P

  33. v.... ....

    this is just weird o.O

  34. C.... L....

    @limonada454 You're sooo right. MGMT is MUUUCH MOOORE than "Kids" or "Time to pretend"..
    I'm surprised to see how lot of peoples just associated MGMT to this songs!!

  35. A.... D....

    amazing.

  36. M.... ....


    piss or pass the pot.

  37. A.... R....

    Wow, my mind is officially blown.

  38. N.... J....

    thumbs up if you heard "8 songs, some short some long" despite the fact there are clearly 9

  39. S.... O....

    @whynotfish I bought both the digital version of "Congratulations" on ITunes and the CD, and this track was just in the digital version, maybe that's because you couldn't find it on your copy of the album, if you have the CD.

  40. S.... O....

    @Arwinspeceis123 I know, in fact I took the lyrics from there...it's just a description of the songs (as you said) by Sonic Boom, the producer, with a background music, it's not an actual song, but it's like a bonus track because it's not mentioned in the track list, or at least that's what I think it is.

  41. S.... O....

    @SniperCinema thanks for the advice, but I've already bought everything I could find about MGMT (Oracular Spectacular, Congratulations, Time To Pretend EP and Climbing To New Lows) :D
    I must admit that after listening to Oracular Spectacular and Time To Pretend EP for two years, Congratulations sounded a bit "odd" to me at the beginning, but after some time I really loved it too...

  42. S.... ....

    @TheMrOlloman Buy Oracular Spectcular so amazing.

  43. S.... O....

    @limonada454 Yeah you're right, I forgot that part xD - corrected.

  44. S.... O....

    immediately*

  45. S.... O....

    Well, I totally agree with you, I can tell you that here in Italy the only MGMT's song that has been played by the radio is "Time To Pretend", so MGMT are not very popular, and I discovered them and the other hits like "Kids" just listening to the album. Then I immediatly bought the "Time To Pretend" EP and "Congratulations" as soon as it came out, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Unluckly this video is blocked for copiright in Europe, and that's also why MGMT are not very popular here.
