Modest Mouse - Sugar Boats Lyrics
This rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will never know just where we go, or
Where we have came from
These veins of mine are now some sort of fuse
My heart is amused
So...
This heart of mine is just some sort of map
That doesn't care at all, or worry about
Where the hell you're at but you're right there!
Well, I've been meaning to dismiss you, yeah I
I have some plans to dismiss you
So stand by, by by by, bye-bye
As soon as you paint every last grain of sand
As you soon as you paint every star in the sky, sky, sky sky, sky, sky
Wave bye, sugar boats!
Well, I'm swatting at mosquitoes as they're orbiting me
I'm orbiting the sun and this goes on, and on and on
You see...
This heart of mine is just some broke machine
And when it gets a-goin', and it often gets a-goin'
It starts blowing steam!
Oh, here it goes again!
This rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will never know just where we go, or
Where we have came from
This watch of mine is like some sort of void
'Cause when I look in, and I shouldn't look in, I
I see it swallow my time
Oh no, there it goes!
Well, I ain't getting on a fast plane, hell
I ain't getting on a stuffy train
The sugar boats on the Atlantic are fine
The sugar boats they're just fine
I'll stand on the deck so you can see
I'll stand on the deck so you can wave
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye-bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye,
Bye, bye, bye, bye-bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Here's the ghost that waves bye-bye, so
Bye-bye, bye, bye, bye-ah-ai
Bye, bye, bye, bye-ah-ai
Bye, bye, bye-bye
I'm the ghost that goes and waves bye, bye, bye!

Modest Mouse Sugar Boats Comments
here I am again
@Modest Mouser hello mr/ms mouser it's a pleasure
Disney mató este tipo de animación
Great work
Fantastic, first comment ever. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. Very kind.
1:33 summer in a nutshell
God I love the uneasiness of Modest Mouse.
I’m trying to become a photographer, and music along with other pop culture really inspires my photos, form Death Stranding to The Twilight Zone, I love the uneasiness and gloom aesthetic of this. Modest Mouse is really my favorite band because sometimes it’s just them having an uneasy feeling in their songs, and it inspires me.
A f@cking perfect video for this song...
this could easily pass as an official video for the song. in fact, i thought it was for ages until i had a read through the comments... it just fits so well and every single part of it belongs where it is, brilliant editing!
Thanks boys.
That toxic door that lead to a mirror to see himself in.
Gonna go ahead and drop a big OOF there.
I wish I had seen this sooner. It's amazing :o
You're here now. :)
Well now, that's the best 4 mins entertainment I've had in a very long time!
This is the best Modest Mouse song
You’re so talented. <33 I was curious; have they ever contacted you about making any videos for them? Surely they’ve YouTubed their own band before.
You're a god among men.. Thank you for these, I hope they made you fortunes.
I love this. The video fits the song very well. Great editing too.
Lyrics that don’t float:
This rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will never know just where we go
Or where we have came from
These veins of mine are now some sort of fuse
And when they light up and my mind blows up
My heart is amused so
This heart of mine is just some sort of map
That doesn't care at all or worry about where the hell you're at
But you're right there
Well, I've been meaning to dismiss you
Yeah I have some plans to dismiss you
So stand by, by, by, by, bye-bye
Wave bye, sugar boats!
As soon as you paint every last grain of sand
As you soon as you paint every star
In the sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, sky
Wave bye, sugar boats!
Well, I'm swatting at mosquitoes as they're orbiting me
I'm orbiting the sun and this goes on and on and on, you see
This heart of mine is just some broke machine
And when it gets a-goin', and it often gets goin'
It starts blowin' steam
Here we go again!
This rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will never know just where we go
Or where we have came from
This watch of mine is like some sort of void
Cause when I look in, and I shouldn't look in
I, I see it swallow my time
Oh no, there it goes!
I ain't getting on no fast plane
Hell, I ain't getting on no stuffy train
Sugar boats on the Atlantic are fine
The sugar boats, they're just fine
I'll stand on the deck so you could see
I'll stand on the deck you could wave bye, bye, bye, bye
Here's the ghost that goes and waves bye, bye, bye, bye
I'm the ghost that goes and waves bye, bye, bye
the lyrics are on the screen as well as in the description you cow 😂
Oh I didn’t saw that😂
But 5 others didn’t saw it as well so I guess it’s ok
@Ben Peter you're right it's okay i just find it funny :)

okay, so why did Betty Boop try to kill Bimbo? What kind of initiation is that, Betty?
edit: Also, daaaaaammmmmnnnnnn, great job on the video man!! that's fucking impressive as hell, I thought this was official.
Secret societies certainly suck
Wave BYE BYE!
GOOD DAY FOR A SWELL BOUT
1:00 is how i want to eat ass
Wanna be a member?
I'm revisiting locked away memories here
the beginning of the song makes me want to yell "Glory to Arstotzka! Greatest country!"
Samsara foo :0)
I've watched this countless times since it was first published. It's perfect in every way.
i love dis song
This is awesome....
YOU'RE awesome.
I think your my soul mate
La ciurma is Everywhere
I didn’t know I needed this in my life but I’ve been educated now
Ammettilo sei qui per BarbascuraX
Benvenuto
Do these lyrics have any meaning?
maybe it's about someone really tired of their friend/lover and moves on, that's my interpretation
One of the best videos to one of the best songs ever. Long live Modest Mouse!
Best song modest mouse has made
Grand archive boys
Well that video was a journey
How it feels to work at Auto Zone xD
In the train I put this song as my ringtone and the passengers thought I was CRAZY
Blows my mind that this song only has 5.6M views.
Ive listened to this 30+ times...great job man i thought this was the original 10/10
Search up bloc party skeleton you're welcome
Andy dady I thirkd the andy
*W A N N A*

*M E M ß E R ?*
Tiktok?
There has to be a greater meaning to this song
if anyone has similar suggestions, id be glad to hear them^^
So catchy.
Old cartoons were creepy AF
The fact that some people think this was their original cartoon upsets me
sin duda excelente rola!
That was pretty disturbing
G h o s t e m a n e ?
I always figured betty boop for a cultist
I swear this was a fan video ages ago, did they get the rights for this?? Super cool
is this punk ragtime ?
Fuck Mickey
Swigity swooty
0:59
Please make a video for Cowboy Dan.
The beginning remimds me of the paper please theme
this video is so well-made, I always come back to it. Amazing work!
Love this one.
PLAY THIS ON SPEED 2. YOU ARE WELCOME.
Oh shit. It's OG Betty Boop. 3:06
what clasic cartoon character is that?
At some parts, it seems as the characters are singing the lyrics.
The trap only sticks for as long as you hold on to it.
Thank you <3
It maches the song perfectly even though it’s not the original
*Funny how betty was a dog at first and some how became 1 of the biggest sex symbols lol*
1:05 that *Swords* love his ass
This makes me want some cup head DLC with Isaac Brock as the boss while this is playing
Betty boop is my whole history 😅
This and Pistol are probably my favorites off StO. The album really had to grow on me - I think that's true with all of their stuff, a lot of MM fans are fans that've never experienced the build-up and release of a new album from them and I think that's where some of the backlash came from that I've experienced - they don't realize that it's a slow but rewarding burn. You need to have time to associate memories of your own life with these songs - once you do you'll never forget them and you'll love the album like the other bits of their discog.
You are a master of your craft of making modest mouse videos, you capture the vibe perfectly. Keep it up brother you
great song, and an impressive video mouser!
This video oddly fits song, I don't know why, but it just does
Finally found this song
2:49 that’s what mom
Makes you go on when you’re being a bad boy
Nada como trabajar escuchando esto.
Damn good job, I thought this was a real music video from modest mouse the first time I saw this.
0:00-4:10 Love this part.
This is no animation by a fan this is called Betty Boop
decent work! Thank you for sharing. :D
just barely not copyright, nicely done ; )
Modest Mouse. What can i say this song is perfect for me!
What cartoon is that from
this is pretty damn awesome!
Looks like a bad acid trip.
Nice song. I really liked "Bimbos Initiation" from the hit Betty Boop being used. It was fitting.
Its not fair that ghostmane used this video in one of his music videos but got like more than 10x the views than MM
H I y o u e r
THIS ISN'T OFFICIAL?????? w o w
Not yet. ;)
MODEST MOUSER PLEASE READ! The song's name is translated to my language -- Portuguese -- but that should not be! We do not translate song names! Please change it back to its original name.
(Currently it says "Barcos de Açúcar por Modest Mouse" when it should say "Sugar Boats por Modest Mouse").
Modest Mouser has read this. Translations are made by the community, but I’ll see what I can do about changing the song name back to English. Obrigado.
I can't stand it when bands take previously made videos and write music over it. Except for this one. They did it perfectly.
