Lyrics in description.

This is the A-side to the exclusive 7" included with the first 1,000 preorders of the Mountain Goats' new album, Transcendental Youth.

While the album is immense by itself, these two songs are probably my favorite part of the entire experience- raw, honest, acoustic JD reminiscent of his earlier years, tracked on an all-analog process from mic to pressing.

This content is not mine and I am not profiting from it, but I will remove it promptly if requested.

Thanks JD. You're awesome.

Lyrics:

across the burnside bridge before anyone shot their movies there,

we hid from the whipping rain when we'd run out of cocaine

dispatch down to plaid pantry, two on point and two on sentry

ah, the joys that the lesser days bring, make you throw back your heads and sing

god bless all petty thieves with tins of oysters up their sleeves

feast when you can, and dream when there's nothing to feast on

across a different bridge today, over the river and down broadway

feels so good to have you here, some of you will be dead next year

I see your destinies above you, like angels who don't love you,

let them kiss you and hold you tight- as long as the money's right

god bless all my old friends, and god bless me too, why pretend?

feast when you can, and dream when there's nothing to feast on

god bless the guys from my old neighborhood

gone past the point where any blessings can do them any good

attach the c4 where you must, disappear in a cloud of dust

but spare a thought for what it covers up, pour a triple and raise your cup

we were here once, me and my friends, but we destroyed all of the evidence

and vanished into the night- at least we got that one right

god bless us, all of us, we who learn to shun the light

god bless all vampires every night

feast when you can x4

I vote for John Darnielle to write more songs about specific places, but actually only Portland and Chino because that's are where I have lived and I need more anthems that stroke my civic ego.

I recently acquired a copy of the 7" 45 that has this and In the Shadows of the Western Hills, and I must say this sounds a bit more cheery than the record version.Either way it's still hauntingly touching.

I love his songs about Portland, they're all so true to the general attitude and atmosphere of the city. Also, I'm from portland and it's awesome that John Darnielle lived here and wrote about it, like, yeah man.

getting 'feast when you can' tattooed on my hand when i get the money. most important words to live by if you don't have much to feast on very often.

It's funny, only discovered this guy a few weeks ago but already it feels like music I listened to growing up or something

I like most of the Mountain Goat's discography, but this has got to be their best album of all. The progress John has made since the beginning of his career is simply astounding.

I'm glad you did too! Can't get enough of tMG and every new song is an awesome addition to a massive back catalogue. Keep it up JD.

But this song is from Transcendental Youth? And track 4 of it is Harlem Roulette. Track 4 of Heretic Pride is Autoclave.

it's track number 4 on Heretic Pride on all releases, or at least I have no info on a special, limited release of the album. The Sunset Tree had a special, limited to 1000 release that had a different order and different tracks, but there was no such release to my knowledge for Heretic Pride

If it's technically on the album, what's the track number?

I put it on Youtube so that people who didn't preorder the album could hear it, and I'm so glad it reached at least one person it wouldn't have otherwise. :)
