Modest Mouse - Spitting Venom Lyrics
We were spitting venom at most everyone we know
If the damned gave us a road map then we'd know just were to go
Now let it drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off
Well you were talking soda pop
You were talking quite a lot
The opinions that I do not give
The opinions I ain't got
So let it drop
Let it all drop
Let is all drop
Well you were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If you truly knew the gravity you'd know just where to go
Well let it drop
Let it drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off
My ears were pressed so firmly right against your mouth to hear
When you tried to spit the venom out your words were not so clear
Now drop
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for fucked up history
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for messed up history
Well we went downtown and we sat in the rain
Both looking one direction and waiting for a train of thought over
Thought over
I didn't know you kept track I didn't know there was a score
Well it looks like your the winner and I ain't gonna play no more
It's over
Game over
Well we walked real stiff and our canes hit the ground
You hit me with yours
And said, "You're gonna stare me down"
It's over
Oh it's over
You can say what you want but don't act like you care
It takes more than one person to decide whats fair
Its over
Think it over
You were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If the damned gave you a road map then you'd know just where to go
So we carried all the groceries in while hauling out the trash
And if this doesn't make us motionless I do not know what can
What a rotten thing to say such an awful thing to say
I didn't mean to bite you, sorry
I always did what I always did what I always had to sling
So let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off
Let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it drop
Oh let it all fall off
Cheer up baby it wasn't always quite so bad for every
Bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
[X7]
Cheer up
Cheer up baby it wasn't always quite so bad for every
Bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
[X6]

Modest Mouse Spitting Venom Comments
That horn at the end dude
Listened to this track ON REPEAT the night that I interrupted a routine traffic stop and the cops beat my ass and confiscated/impounded my bicycle. Apparently I got a tricky charge - 'interrupting a police officer.' Try it. Why not? This whole institution called 'America' is a JOKE so just have fun with it.
Love this song
I'm not even a trumpet guy, BUT DAMN! MM puts it down time and again.
modest mouse is the only thing that got me through my shitty fast food jobs, and now that i'm a few years on and pining for those shitty ass days, I don't know what to think anymore excpet that everything fucking sucks ass. thankfully MM accounts for that too lol

Cheer up little baby.. It wasn't always quite so bad.. Could listen to it all day 😊
Modest Mouse 12. Spitting Venom
Eric Judy (Left - Bass) & Isaac Brock
(Right - Guitar Lead Vocals)
If you dislike this song...please leave name and address for me.
This is definetly in my top 10 songs of all time.
We've got a knack for fucked up history
Was the the last album with Eric and Jeremiah?
(0:00 to 1:30: ok this good?)(5 seconds later) (holy shit!)
Modest mouse detective work. it's all in a day's work. XD
I wish someone would just take the last half of the song and loop it!!!
cant wait to listen to this album again
Favorite band ever. Never ever ever everrrrrr get tired of listening. Just got this as a tattoo. The instrumental breaks speak to my soul.
Modest mouse and deftones are the only 2 bands that i can honeslty say never made a bad album
Hahaa... I listened to this song in high school when my friends were telling me how ugly I was.
Because they were spitting venom all the time.....
The horns on 4:17 are just mind-blowing. This band is so underrated.
A really close friend of mine showed me this song the first time we met as it was her favorite. I was instantly hooked and couldn't stop listening. Sadly she passed away at only 27yrs old so now I play this song in her memory. RIP Morgan
This song encompassed one of my worst relationships
Modest Mouse is me as a person fucking love them
I came as a rat and spitting venom are my favorites from modest mouse but I like all there songs.
Cheer up baby it wasn't always quite so bad, for every bit of venom that came out, the anitidote was had!
The way the horns mesh with the guitar and keyboard has always felt like a lullaby for the hard times in my life. Has never failed to soothe my troubled mind when I can’t seem to do anything right
Forever greatfull
I missed this band when they came out. Just started listening about a year ago and I'm completely and utterly hooked. I listen to like three other songs other than modest mouse anymore. Easily my favorite band now and I usually listen to Pantera, slayer etc.
this is probably my favorite song ever written in the history of man.
That guitar solo isn't that easy. It's fun to practice
I still get teary-eyed listening to this.
I love this song. This could be three different songs, if they wanted it to
I had the song turned way up in my headphones and 1:27 almost gave me a heart attack
I fucking love the trumpet on this
soo much better than mumble rap
Can I make a hip hop beat with this for fun
Good stuffgg
I love the songwriting and overall guitar contributions Johnny Marr brought to this album it's unlike anything else in their discography because of the special touch he brought to it
Johnny marr was involved with This???
The last time a beat was dropped so hard the Japanese surrendered.
This song soothes me.
We were spitting venom
At most everyone we know
If the damned gave us a road map
Then we'd know just where to go
Now let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh, let it all fall off
Well you were talking soda pop
You were talking quite a lot
The opinions that I do not give
The opinions I ain't got
So let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh, let it all fall off
Well, you were spitting venom
At most everyone you know
If you truly knew the gravity
You'd know which way to go
Well let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh, let it all fall off
My ears were bristled firmly
Right against your mouth to hear
When you tried to spit the venom out
Your words were not so clear, now drop
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for fucked up history
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for messed up history
Well, we went downtown and we sat in the rain
Well, looking all direction and waiting for a train
Thought over
It's all over
I don't know who kept track, I didn't know there was a score
Well, it looks like you're the winner and I ain't gonna play no more
It's over
Game over
Well, we walked real stiff and our canes tapped the ground
You hit me with yours and said 'Pull yourself together'
It's over
Oh, it's over
You can say what you want but don't act like you care
It takes more than one person to decide what's fair
It's over
Think it over
We were spitting venom at most everyone we know
If the damned gave us a road map
Then you'd know just where to go
So we carried all the groceries in
While hauling out the trash
And if this doesn't make us motionless
I do not know what can is to be said
What a rotten thing to say, such an awful thing to say
I didn't mean to bite you so really
What always did, what always did, what always had to sling
So let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh, let it all fall off
Let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh, let it all fall off
Cheer up baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every venom then that came out
The antidote was had
Cheer up baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every venom then that came out
The antidote was had

I just get lost in this song and I love it
The opinions that I do not give are the opinions I ain't got
one of the only bands that makes me feel anything anymore
the world needs modest mouse
crying in the club listening to this absolute masterpiece
Are you in the new venom movie
Spitting it all in everybody. Soldier..
To me your all nothing but a bunch of posers I listened to this band way be4 they were mainstream Underground bitches I can even tell u there very 1st fucking album witch was a mix of songs that they now are putting on other albums but no gd modest mouse song that has been released can beat wtf they did in underground aka lonesum crowded west album way back in the day so fuck off posers tyvm have a poser ass day
Wow, you've liked a band longer than a few kids and you've shown your dominance with a long comment. The Internet truly respects you.
Gosh, this is appropriate even now. It is excellent advice.😊 Thanks, Isaac.
It is not an understatement to say that practically EVERY modest mouse song hits home so hard with me. As nieve as it is to think this, i feel like the songs are about my life, the thoughts i had, and the feelings ive felt.
This album was the main thing I listened to one Summer (07, iirc).
It was a bad period for me in so many ways. I was destroying myself with drugs out of pain and boredom while someone I really cared about both took the brunt of it and treated me in a way that made sure we'd not get along much of the time. It seemed like every aspect of my life was sinking and I was mostly to blame.
It was fucked and toxic and I wanted to die. I really did. This album is likely why I didn't just flat-out kill myself at the time. No exaggeration.
This song in particular really captured how I felt and much of what was going on. From what turns to an anger *"you can say what you want but don't act like you care, it takes more than one person to decide what's fair"* to the softer, almost apologetic *"cheer up...wasnt always quite ao bad...the antidote was had"*
It kept me alive and I swear it's not an exaggeration.
awww, well I hope it still motivates you to live. I'd chill with you to this song.
Fuck, Windows! I don't care about your 'urgent update' right now.. Mouse is on.
..............sniffle
Never gets old
I love this song. Just started playing ukulele and had to cover it. You should check it out and give me love!!
A bit slow, but beautiful!
Arthur Denovellis thanks!!
Best song on the album by such a longshot.
Your words are not so clear
still takes my breath away and gives me chills, still, every single time
...not sure if i like the lyrics, if someone told me to drop something they don't like....i'd rather drop them
Please help us exposing Bullying (by sharing this video) and get Modest Mouse to sing the hook (properly) because if we can get them involved, we have a MUCH better chance of our efforts leading to SOLUTIONS!!! We don't care about "fame", we care about EXPOSING THE TRUTH and sticking it to the bullies at CAKU and other FAKE pages..

NateIsLame, anyone?
You know modest mouse is one of my favs and this is one of my favs next to wild pack of family dogs
FUCK yes. Possibly one of my favourite MM tracks too. There are just so many certified beauty's though.
So we carried all the groceries in
While hauling out the trash 🎶
i hear this song and the taste of ether is so strong in my mouth.
Reminds me of MCR
That's a bizarre comparison yo
NateIsLame really? It's mainly the beginning that reminds me of them
let it all drop
Were lucky to have this band
i love the fact that in the lyrics on the description are wrote all the times that the song says the exact same thing but at the end it says "repeat once more" , i mean you could do that before
I hate that when i introduce songs that arent as memorable to my friends theyre like "oh yeah modest mouse, they made those songs float on and dashboard... they made other stuff too?"
as someone who has experienced the same thing, i f*cking love this band, seen them several times live and friends are like you're still into them? like...f*ck yeah I'm still into this band, even have a tattoo of a little modest mouse to keep my mind in check every now and then
1:25 is such a good pickup in the song
the best band in the world.. if all other music disappeared, i doubt i would even notice... they cover allll the necessary
food groups...
Hey Andrew, I remember you were getting excited because you got 1000 views on these uploads when we used to hang out. Now you're fuckin best buds with the band. Keep living the dream.
Man. This has got to be my favourite modest mouse song
This song speaks to my heart. Even after all of these years.
This song could be split almost in the exact middle. It's uncanny, intentional?
Modest Mouse saved my life...
MyNineRides Shotgun everyone has made mistakes, stop rubbing it in
SO COOL...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO
There is music, then there is this............ LET IT ALL DROP
It will never stop giving... God damnit
The goosebumps this song gives me with never be matched by another. Absolutely can't wait to see them live October 6th, ithaca NY!!!
this entire song tells it's own story. They're are whole albums dedicated to telling a story but even then they can end up not going into enough detail, but this song has the perfect detail and perfect length to match each other. This is just one 8 minute song on an album full of separate songs. MM is often second to none.
Damn i remember listening to this as a kid in 2008. I was riding in a taxi from cobo san Lucas mexico to the airport and this hit me in the feels. Im 20 now
One of the my favorite songs from my least favorite album of this band.
Don't do that... Just stop... This album might not be what you wanted, but don't punctuate this work of art with "least favorite" after you got me hopeful with "favorite". Why do you chastise new MM, ye olde MM fans.
lets just say it this way . ...ive played this tune enough my children sing the lyrics. thankyou. memories are priceless.
somone explain this song to me
Interpretation and analysis are sort of up to the listener, but this and most songs have a fairly clear meaning, just look up the lyrics.
124 people spitting venom :)
Now 140 people need the antidote.
porcupine tree?
Yaaaassss
still my favourite of their songs
literally the only band that i can listen to their entire discography and like ALL of it.
What about built to spill?
Right?! Idk what it is about mm. Maybe because Isaac has such an interesting voice
god speed you! black emporor
Still true for me.
Same!! And I can listen to it over and over again god it's so good
666 thousand views... Satan has good taste!
MM's next album: "The devil's playlist". (This is not actually the name of the next album).
If the views continue to 777,000 then God might also be pleased.
This song is so incredible. The ending is so good I just sit and shake my head and marvel at the vocals.
This one always pops back up in my mind.
That horn do
why in fuck would 480p be better, does it give the illiterate the ability to read? lol
Eric Gaughan it is the highest available quality for the video. This affects audio as well
