Sleater-Kinney - Bury Our Friends Lyrics






[Tucker:]
Today I am stitched, I am sewn
Patch me up, I've got want in my bones
Like some doll you thought you could throw
Away, I found my legs

[Brownstein:]
Ready to climb
Out from under concrete
Only I get to be sickened by me
My body a smudge
Can't make out the details
Want to start over and come into being

[Chorus - Tucker & Brownstein:]
Exhume our idols and
Bury our friends
We're wild and weary
But we won't give in
We're sick with worry
These nerveless days
We live on dread
In our own Gilded Age

[Tucker:]
This dark world is precious to me
My scars make me breathe in so deep
My body has no need for sleep
This time around

[Brownstein:]
Ready to find
Fragments of stillness
Only I get to be punished by me
Your voice is a crumb
It leads me from the wildness
Wanna start over, forget everything

[Chorus]

[Brownstein:]
Make me a headline
I wanna be that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold

Make me a headline
I wanna feel that bold
Make me a spotlight
So I can see the gold

[Chorus]

[Tucker & Brownstein:]
We speak in circles
We dance in code
Untame and hungry
On fire in the cold
Exhume our idols and
Bury our friends
We're wild and weary
But we won't give in

  2. l.... ....

    why is this soooooo billie ??

  3. J.... L....

    I’m scared..

  4. T.... G....

    I love this video. Its amazing how so much emotion can be conveyed with such minimal facial expression and movement.

  5. b.... ....

    Franz Ferdinand records "Take Me Out" in 2014 and then Sleater-Kinney comes out with its own cover of the same song in 2015 claiming it as their own original composition. Yeesh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijk4j-r7qPA

  6. j.... ....

    The old man is us. Can't believe what he's hearing after so long.

  7. M.... ....

    This song is so good.

  8. B.... L....

    Is this supposed to be Karl Marx exhumed? Kinda looks like him, wearing something that he would have worn maybe?

  9. J.... ....

    I love this song, I love this album, I love all the songs, I love Sleater-Kinney. I remember when me and my best friend from high school and her friend went to see them in Dallas. It's something I'll remember forever.

  10. A.... P....

    It looks like that guy from my hero academia

  11. H.... P....

    The dream of the 90's is alive and well. Grunge lives!

  12. A.... G....

    realy just a mask

  13. T.... C....

    Saw them play live a couple of weeks ago. Freaking awesome!!

  14. L.... T....

    Rock, inagine that, real ROCK !

  15. S.... B....

    i like to think carrie sent this song to miranda and said "just do whatever you feel like"....
    and miranda did this.

    brilliance colliding.

  16. C.... O....

    It took me 5 views to realize how brilliant this video is. Brilliant.

  17. N.... M....

  18. E.... R....

    anyone hear the Mario wha-ho sample at 2:30?

  19. K.... D....

    such a good song!

  20. M.... ....

    What the hell!? Why you people are calling them a "Rock Band" . Waste of my time and my ears...

  21. B.... ....

    This is pretty bad.  I love the name Sleater-Kinney... but the band sucks.

  22. a.... ....

    I would marry a man who looked like that.

  23. A.... L....

    Ariel Pink wears better masks in "Picture Me Gone"

  24. s.... ....

    The SK ladies would hate the top comment on this video, which makes me sad.

  25. a.... ....

    The clip is awful but i like the song :)

  26. T.... J....

    When bands try to be NOT BLOOD PAINT 

  27. F.... ....

    shes ugly

  28. J.... T....

    Her name was Naomi, she learned how to please a man....
    Thank you to Miss Amy Gossow for schooling me in rock and roll.

  29. w.... ....

    1:03

    Tighten up - Black Keys, anyone? 

    w.... ....

    I noticed this earlier today!  I heard the first 15 seconds of the song and exclaimed "I KNOW THIS.  BUT FROM WHERE?!"  

    w.... ....

    @wtfarockfish The main riff sounds a little like the one in that song. As in uses some similar notes..

    w.... ....

    @howiseverythingtaken Yeah, same! Eh, they're both good songs.

    w.... ....

    +wtfarockfish I WAS THINKING THIS THE WHOLE TIME!

    w.... ....

    Both songs are favorites. But I don't hear it.

  30. C.... 8....

    It's crazy what a wire can do. Got a new 3.5mm jack lead for my headphones today and now I frekin love this song, played it a few days ago with my old lead and disliked it, oh how wrong I was. :')

  31. D.... G....

    so many hype for that shit? jajajajajajaja whatta a joke

    and these gurls are totally ripping of the K Records people, especially Shonen Knife

  32. J.... H....

    Just found these people they rock 

  33. g.... ....

    Precisely so....now we just need someone to counteract all the Ed sheerhans and sam smiths and all this rap and r/b crap...(Isn't  R&B supposed to stand for rythm and blues?) I think the term is being mis-applied to a lot of hip-hop crap.

  34. B.... M....

    Sounds like bad Gang of Four

  35. T.... D....

    We review Sleater Kinney - No Cities to Love: http://www.drunkenwerewolf.com/reviews/sleater-kinney-no-cities-love/

  36. K.... P....

    there's beauty

  37. E.... ....

    The worst video ever made?

  38. e.... ....

    FUCK YES

  39. B.... ....

    oh man I love the Black Keys

  40. m.... ....

    Janet, I love you.

  41. C.... N....

    The start kinda reminded me of Misfits (UK)

  42. R.... B....

    Wow. Always have had a thing for the singer. Love them sexual/in-tee-lexual femmes.

  43. t.... ....

    I'm just gonna guess that's Carrie under there. And suddenly now I wanna watch Portlandia 8)

  44. E.... C....

    pumped 4 the new album, good job Carrie

  45. G.... B....

    Interesting song but a really boring video.

  46. G.... C....

    it´s so amazing when she starts moving her shoulders from 2:00 and then moving right and left... her moves seem to say something, though it´s not something logic...

  47. J.... B....

    A&hhhhhhhhhh. Can one not just enjoy something great ? Go home and listen to your Bush cds.

  48. f.... d....

    ♫ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnUtJDWr82M ♫
    Bobby Shmurda "Hot Ni**as" song just got killed!!

  49. f.... ....

    whoa, Worf is looking rough these days

  50. A.... ....

    LISTEN TO THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc-z2fhoG2M

  51. D.... M....

    Main riff reminds me of Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out

    D.... M....

    And Franz Ferdinand have stated that they were influenced by early Sleater-Kinney.  It's a full circle.

    D.... M....

    @Gemma Hamilton Oh I didn't know that, that's cool 

    D.... M....

    @Gemma Hamilton If memory serves the two bands toured together in Franz Ferdinand's early years. I prefer S-K but both are amazing live.

  52. I.... ....

    Very disappointed that the tickets already sold out for the Denver show

  53. K.... ....

    The video is dumb, the audio is ass, but the song is fucking great.

  54. R.... M....

    Thank God for SK its been 8 years!

  55. b.... ....

    I knew that last moment at the Crystal Ballroom wasn't the last moment. Just a little more time.

  56. J.... P....

    nice, good bass

  57. D.... W....

    Carrie and Corin are absurdly underrated as guitarist. Welcome back #SleaterKinney !

  58. t.... ....

    i would've loved it if they just shot a video of them playing in front of a white background. this sucks :- (

  59. f.... o....

    such musical juxtaposition . the feel of the 90s with the dread of the 2010s #lovingthis  

  60. M.... G....

    The new album comes out January 20 - it's been a long wait but it sounds like it'll be worth it!

  61. S.... G....

    basically all my dance moves...

  62. c.... ....

    nooooooo. sold out in chicago. im late to the party again.

  63. E.... C....

  70. D.... P....

    Fucking great song, but the video is shite.

  71. D.... H....

    this song is weak af...?

  72. N.... F....

    great song....awful video.

  73. R.... K....

    Wow!!! This is great news after the unfortunate wild flag breakup... wild flag was a total dream come true imo and I thank them dearly for it... as short as it was... hoping they invite mary for a song or two - coz she da bomb too!!! and together they were at atomic levels... wait... this is another dream come true... why am I looking at the bad side?!?! yeayyyiiiiieeeeeeeee!!!!! go SK!!!

  74. J.... G....

    Can someone please explain the music video? I seriously dont get it and Ive seen their other videos and they're much better and more entertaining. 

  75. R.... B....

    Just use *instaphamous* for instagram followers 

  76. B.... S....

    Love Sleater-Kinney's new music and would've loved to see them perform a bit. Creepy dude was an interesting choice. Rock on!

  77. N.... L....

    Awesome!!!!

  78. F.... A....

    White walker

  79. B.... ....

    I wonder how much of the new season of Portlandia is going to be filled with Sleater-Kinney product placement. 

    B.... ....

    She already missed some golden opportunities in previous seasons.

  80. S.... ....

    Olympia representing.

  81. j.... ....

    Yeah boy yeahhahaha

  82. C.... C....

    My new favorite video

  83. y.... ....

    In love with this

  84. K.... H....

    Out of my mind with excitement for this album and tour! Thank you ladies for coming back...I love you all so much!

  85. R.... M....

    Have you been waiting for the return of Sleater Kinney? Wait no more!

  86. S.... G....

    Hot Fiyaa

  87. A.... W....

    Sounds kinda like Franz Ferdinand, but less tight. 

    A.... W....

    and Franz Ferdinand has said that they were influenced by Sleater-Kinney. It's full circle :)

    A.... W....

    @Missus C Actually, that doesn't surprise me. :)

  88. n.... ....

    Look it's those women again who don't act like strippers to sell their music!

  89. J.... M....

    Is it me or this guitar riff is very similar to tighten up by the Black Keys ?

  90. J.... N....

    Anyone else realize that the riff is incredibly similar to that on 'Tighten Up' by the Black Keys...?

    J.... N....

    Possibly, but this song is better than anything the Black Keys have done in many years.

    J.... N....

    You know, I was thinking that riff souned really familiar, and it didn't hit me until today that it sounds like "Tighten Up."

  91. X.... ....

    I love SK, but did they record the guitars in a submarine or something?  Sounds awful.  Just like The Woods, the production is fucking up good songs.

    X.... ....

    i think its supposed to be like that bruh 

    X.... ....

    @Xervello The Woods was definitely supposed to sound like that, for better or worse. They were trying to make a record that was strange to listen to - hence weird things like guitar riffs reversed, overlong middle sections that stretched songs out and 'Let's Call It Love' going into a huge jam session that segues into 'Night Light'.

  92. Z.... R....

    This video sucks.  While the song is great, is the the most your could afford for the video??

  93. d.... ....

    YOU GUYS ARE BACK?

  94. G.... L....

    just joined *instaphamous* last night. so far a little over 300 real followers received 

  95. b.... a....

    so thrilled to hear sleater kinney is back! 

  96. O.... ....

    There's something so intrinsically danceable about this tune. A good thing, that is.

  97. M.... M....

    this made my day, can't wait for january <3

  98. M.... S....

    Brilliant - cheers

  99. t.... ....

    Miranda July? Seriously? Come on ladies, you're better than that. However, I'm so thrilled Sleater Kinney is back that it completely cancels out any contempt I feel for Miranda.
