Some of Conor's earlier work. Why this wasn't already on youtube baffles me.

I don't own this music.

Lyrics:

I can remember sitting around at my house

And watching the smoke fill the living room

As you rested your feet on my coffee table

And we watched something on TV

Talked about the world

But the lines were already drawn from the magazines

And you called me a sponge

And you were just like diamond coated plastic

Just plastic, so invincible, so invincible

But it's not like that at all, it's not like that anymore and I'm not

Like that anymore

And I got to hold my breath

Because the puddle that got you is bound to get me too

And I shouldn't hold my breath

Because a sponge like you needs a puddle to go to

And I, I have breathing room

Because the puddle in which you fell

My diamond coated plastic could repel

Could repel, could repel

Diamond coated plastic could repel

Could repel

My diamond coated plastic could repel

And I will repel you just like you're one of the others

And I will expel you just like you're one of the others

Because you are, one of the others now

It's kind of weird, I think, the way that people change

Think you know someone, but you don't, but you can't

Soak 'em up, soak 'em up

Because I don't even care anymore

Because you'll never be alone

And I'll always be alone

Because you're a sponge

Because you're a sponge

Because you're a sponge

Who would ever guess it?

Not me, not me, but I don't even know anymore

And how am I to know anymore

And I, I'm out of breath, because I've been holding it for years

And holding back the tears

Please let me catch my breath

And soak up a puddle there

And scrambling for air

I finally got my breath

And now at least I know for sure

I'm a puddle stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper

I am a puddle stomper, stomper

I'm a puddle stomper

I'm a puddle stomper

I'm a puddle stomper

I'm a puddle stomper

And you're a sponge

And you're a sponge

And you're a sponge

And you're a sponge

And you're a sponge

I'm a puddle stomper now

I'm a puddle stomper

I'm a puddle stomper

And you're a sponge

And you're a

I'm a puddle stomper

Conor should re-do thing song. I know he hates the songs from when he was younger, but the lyrics are incredible! What a beautiful young mind he had, and still does!

I remember when I first got this tape in the mail, I couldn't figure it out. The vocals sounded like a kid, but the strumming was ferocious and the lyrics were insanely sad, so I eventually decided that Conor Oberst was kind of like a Daniel Johnston or Roky Erickson man-child, probably 40 years old and living with his mother with twenty TVs on to drown out the voices, you know? Ziggy Nix called a few years later and said, "I found Conor Oberst,he's in Commander Venus, and he's a fucking kid!"
