Mountain Goats, The - We Do It Different On The West Coast Lyrics
The papers write about it back in England
It's practically a lifestyle in Berlin
There's probably some pockets in Ohio
Almost always something happening in Ohio
I don't trust what people say about Long Island
I heard some good things from some friends about Chicago
I gotta see with my own eyes about Chicago
We do it different on the west coast
We do it different on the west coast
We do it different on the west coast
We do it different on the west coast
I heard they had a problem with some skinheads
I feel like half my friends have moved to San Francisco
I think I'm gonna bleach my hair this weekend
And Dave went to New York - I don't care
You can't shut people up once they get back from their Christmas out there
Skim though such magazines as I can get my hands on
Glue circuit boards to plywood on the weekend
Trellis modulation for the children
There's a whole new world just up around the corner
We do it different on the west coast
We do it different on the west coast
We do it different on the west coast
We do it different on the west coast

I think my favorite part about this song is just that when I heard it live in Seattle, literally everyone was singing along. Its like they wrote us a theme song and everyone appreciates it.
I loved the Mountain Goats in college, and I'm just now getting back into them. This is a kickass album. Just about to pick it up on vinyl.
I just heard this on NPR for the first time. What a great song.
You know, I'm a fan of West Coast rap, but I'm glad we finally got a chill West Coast anthem.
Best song on the LP
I thought John Darnielle was from North Carolina (the East Coast)
Yeah I dont think any of the tMG albums since Sunset Tree have been from JD's POV, so this is probably the perspective of someone belonging to the culture (goth culture??) on the west cost, with of course some of JD's personal experience sprinkled in there (like all tMG songs lol)
Just for the record, Mathew 25:21 and Legend of Chavo Guerrero are from JD's point of view.
oh yeah i knew about Chavo Guerrero but mathew 25:21? dang thats rough lmao
Yeah that was about his mother-in-law. It's a true story.
He's spent time in a lot of places, but he spent most of his childhood in California (San Luis Obispo). Now that he's in Durham he says he never wants to leave. Strangely enough he never lived in West Texas, or in Galesburg.
catchy shit, favorite one the record... reminds me of his unofficially released "Beat the devil." really love this track
Does this remind anyone of the classic West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys? I wish I had the music knowledge and expertise to make an mashup of it. The drums of West End Girls near the beginning really caters well to this song, and the lyrics pair up well. It just needs to be cleaned up, and have the lyrics patterned correctly.
Nearthe2nd if you haven't heard it yet, check out "Inner City Pressure" by Flight of the Conchords. You'll love it!
I think this one's my favorite :3
2:33 is just gorgeous
