Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Phantasies Lyrics






Wake up early in Karakatu, Alaska
We put our masks on to welcome the dawn
Call the huskies and collide into their fur
Fragrant in the overcast

Don't be a bitter man
It could be worse
A slave in Belarus or
A mat in Japan
Its cold as shit, always that way
Sometimes it gets to 99 below

(Whoa wha-oh)
I got some lovely phantasies
(Whoa wha-oh)
I got some lovely phantasies
And you got some lovely phantasies

Tear off the top, let your memory pop
Its running, running, running, running away

After hours of fishin' through holes
In the ice we drilled
You told me that you had a plan
Lets emigrate south to Sarasota
Where the marlin fishing never lets up
Until you want it to end

(White men go, white men go)

White men go to pieces in the tropics
I bet that is a topic
You'd rather not broach
Later on I'm gonna turn the heat to ten
I'll thaw your foolish dreams away, ay

(Whoa wha-oh)
I got some lovely phantasies
(Whoa wha-oh)
I got some lovely phantasies
And you got some lovely phantasies

Tear off the top, let your memory pop
Its running, running, running, running away

  1. M.... G....

    Love you forever. <3

  2. J.... W....

    An ex, a lady who serve under grace, who can still appreciate good trash, I mean, who just has always had impeccable taste without regard to its presribed social class, whatever promo poison, tabloid insinuations,false claims, and who I never saw discard any art for only the reason that its subject matter was difficult to understand, to sympathize with, or to enjoy openly at a niece's communion.... She gave me this and Guided By Voices' Under The Bushes Under The Stars some six years ago not long after we'd broken up. How could I have possibly known? Because Pavement is so good, you say? Ya i guess okay. Everybody knows that. But I'm still blown away by both of these records.
    That main riff of Vague Space, all the sons of Neil Young biz going on in Black Book, the tangible ultrafun of Phantasies that idk about you but Im like definitely friends with all the people who live in that song.. and etc. but ah ahh I wanna say that Deado really whiddled a little curious & noble statue of itself on my totem pole and there remains. And that is all I will say now about that. Storytime likely resumes on the me yt page finds me. I will be back, children.

    :07 the sound a person makes when they get their pubes caught in their zipper.

  4. D.... K....

    Ha love all the shitty built-in keyboard samples on this. I've got this DJ-X Yamaha keyboard and it's got all these kind of samples in it haha!

    D.... K....

    A couple of songs on this album have those samples and it makes me like them so much more. Not sure why, they're just kinda goofy

  5. a.... ....

    it's as quirky as zappa's songs. it could be something that zappa would have written after the good day

  6. T.... ....
