Mother Mother - Bit By Bit Lyrics






Bit by bit, I'm gonna get my bricks out in the sticks
Bit by bit, I'm gonna build my house in the wildest thickets
I'm gonna get away from all those mouths and my shit
I'm gonna say goodbye to all the la-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da

I'm getting on a mountain, away from the people on the ground and
Some cop sticking up my wagon

One by one
(One by one)
I'm gonna get my properties all bundled up
(Bundled up)
To the branch of a poplar tree and saunter off
With a buck and a wildebeest
We're getting lost, we're getting lost, we're getting lost

I'm getting on a mountain, away from the people on the ground and
Some cop sticking up my wagon
Chop chop we gonna build a cabin, up top on a pretty little mountain
Fuck off all you people on the ground, ya!

No I won't bring too much of anything
Maybe a little slicker for the rain
Maybe just a good book and a heart to break
I'll make a mistress of a little Wiccan thing

Bit by bit, I'm gonna get my bricks out in the sticks
Bit by bit, I'm gonna build my house in the wildest thickets
I'm gonna get away from all those mouths and my shit
I'm gonna say goodbye to all the la-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da

I'm getting on a mountain, away from the people on the ground and
Some cop sticking up my wagon
Chop chop we gonna build a cabin, up top on a pretty little mountain
Fuck off all you people on the ground, ya!

    I have been listening to this song on repeat all day today just because it just gives me such raw energy. i just feel like "fuck off all the people on the ground" is the best mood ive had in a while. not exactly angry but not exactly passive either.

  9. y.... ....

    2:23 amazing guitar solo

  10. L.... K....

    Me after (1) extended human interaction

  11. C.... A....

    The Sticks feels like the idea, Bit by Bit feels like the action. Like he finally decided to do it.

  12. A.... ....

    Me playing Minecraft

  13. K.... K....

    Listening at 1.5 speed really changes the feeling from slightly 'i hate everyone' to "yea I'm gonna go build a house in the sticks and party like crazy on my own"

  14. s.... c....

    Oh my god im in loooooveeeeee

  15. B.... F....

    I can relate! My three best friends and I have been dreaming to get a nice big cabin in Utah for a while. I live in Nevada and they all live on the east coast. Currently, we’re saving up to chip in and get that cabin on a pretty little mountain. Go to Canada! Follow your dreams!

    Some cop sticking up my wagon

    One by one, I’m gonna get my properties all bundled up

    With a buck and a wildebeest
    We're getting lost, we're getting lost, we're getting lost

    I’m getting on a mountain, away from the people on the ground and
    Some cop sticking up my wagon
    Chop chop we gonna build a cabin, up top on a pretty little mountain
    Fuck off all you people on the ground, ya!

    Maybe a little slicker for the rain
    Maybe just a good book and a heart to break
    I’ll make a mistress of a little Wiccan thing

    Bit by bit, gonna get my bricks out in the sticks
    Bit by bit, gonna build my house in the wildest thickets

    Mother Mother is an amazing band.  How are they not bigger?!

    L.... W....

    i live in Canada where they're from, and mother mother is pretty big over here (seen them 2 times, always fantastic). More of a canadian cult following ala Kenny vs Spenny, but their music always gets played on the edge which is a big rock radio station.

    In a way, yeah, they are a bit XTC-esque, especially in terms of how good their music is.

    This album inspired me to leave the big city and move back out to the country to live a simpler life.  Moved 6 months ago, no regrets.  :)
