Speedy Ortiz - Hitch Lyrics






Place every bet on a hard horse
He won't go down
Though his knees spasm
Though he wants to grey out
I heard them call me a hard horse

If you can stomach the top speed, let's take it on
Your fever's fewer than before and so it's hard to get hot
Is that a challenge or something?
I'm never wrong about one thing

You're sick, keep below
I don't wanna throw you
You're sick
Now you know that I wanna know you
Don't endure a sickness you could let me cure
And I want to

I sent my crucible fawning in a predatory way
You've got a habit with stains; I study etymology
But I never succumbed to that dirty word till I met you

Now I'm sick, keep below
I don't wanna throw you
You're sick
Now you know that I wanna know you
In this blood a sickness
You learn to love and I learn, too

Sell every bet on your hard horse
I won't go down
Though my knees spasm
Though I want to grey out
And you could call me a hard horse

You're sick, keep below
I don't wanna throw you
You're sick
Now you know that I wanna know you
In this blood a sickness
You learn to love and I learn, too

    as a musician, i don't understand why a band would be upset or feel weird that a certain popular publication gave them a thumbs up. attention & more people being into your band IS NOT a bad thing, especially when the band's integrity wasn't sacrificed to do so, which seems to be the case here. cheer up and appreciate some well-deserved recognition 

    D.... D....

    @theconstruct67  that's the wrong angle to come at me with. i am nobody. i have zero 'credentials'.
     when i write about bands (again, not reviews, just thumbs up. i only write positives) it's because i have come across them and like what i hear. in a journalism context, i don't put down bands, so if i'm doing a piece on them it's because i enjoy their music. i do not ever give a band a number rating or anything like that. i simply say what i enjoy about the music (chord progressions, tones, overall energy, etc.)

    that way, i never put one over the other bc like you said, who am i to say who deserves to be heard and who doesn't. that's why i will never exert negatively in ma work. as for other journalists who post typical reviews with a number grading system, i cant speak to what they think gives them the authority.
    now does that answer your question?

    @Darrien Day
     You said :"i am nobody. i have zero 'credentials'."

    Congrats.. You're at least man enough to admit that and thereby making my point with the question.

    D.... D....

    @theconstruct67 1) you don't know my pronouns, i don't appreciate the label 'man' without my previously consenting to that title

    2) you seem to have the goal of berating me throughout this semi-anonymous internet convo. i was simply trying to give this wonderful band props for being covered in a publication and retaining their integrity. that's all i was trying to do in my original comment. 
    let us all be positive, shall we. 

    D.... D....

    +Darrien Day people who read pitchfork that attentively kind of suck

    D.... D....

    @Dancun Kennedy generalizations

    I'd love to never go to that one website again but I don't know where else to go. Aggregate sites have their own problems, and the rest just seem like different versions of that one site.
