Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Old Jerry Lyrics
Let's hear it for the modern skirts
Hold it up until it hurts
Whistle through the trees and split the brown money
You'll never pop the solid earth
Smelling like a cowboy's cots
Weather me parn and hit the ground running
You return to tease in vain
For Jerry why don't you try Mary
Her feet are a wandering flame
For Jerry ride the canary
My feet are wandering again
The Cadillac of winter
Listen for the levels' click
Watch it or it just might stick
Hiding in the neighbor's crick
They spell it out with rules and laws
This neighborhood is where the cats' applause
Weather me dawn hit the ground running
You're eaten to tease in vain
For Jerry don't you try Mary
Her feet are a wandering flame
For Jerry ride the canary
Her feet are a wandering flame
For Jerry ride the canary tonight
I don't like like what you like
Lost in the stickers on the ice cream truck
Your thoughts are what we took for granted
Heart is denser than a hockey puck
And rats in the pile on a tilted room
And the walls are jagged and expanding
But you aren't there to feed them air
Poor Jerry don't you try Mary
Her feet are a wandering flame
For Jerry ride the canary tonight
I know you want to get back

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks Old Jerry Comments
The Japanese export limited edition of this album is superfluous. Pig Lib plus 5 solid bonus tracks, including this masterpiece. Definitely one of Malkmus's best.
Thank you so much, one of my favorites of SM's many brilliant songs. Can't find it anywhere else.
Absolutely love Moen's drumming on this track. I assume the band is all recorded live.
I'm celebrating the first day of summer this am burning nag champa, doing sun salutations, listening to this old family fav, and smiling really, really big. I was a young teenager when Jerry died, and I've always felt so incredibly lucky and thankful that I got to see the Dead twice while he was still alive. And Pavement before they broke up! And Stephen and the Jicks on this tour. Pig Lib is still my absolute fav, and I lost the amazing bonus disc long ago; so thanks a bazillion for the upload!
never. gets. old. maybe his best song? 13 years of it and still not enough
anyone have a mp3 link?
Yea this is one of my fave Malk songs in either Pavement or Jicks cannon...thank you!
