The Past Is A Grotesque Animal

by Of Montreal

Biography:

of Montreal is an indie pop band which formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1997. The band is fronted by Kevin Barnes, who writes, composes, and plays most of the music for his albums.

They were among the second wave of groups to emerge from The Elephant 6 Recording Company and the group has a style that is typical of many Elephant 6 bands due to their interest in combining musical experimentation with the basic tenets of pop i.e. catchy melodies and sing-along choruses.

Gm A#
The past is a grotesque animal and in it's eyes you see
Dm
how completely wrong you can be
F
how completely wrong you can be
Gm
the sun is out it melts the snow that fell yesterday
A# Dm
makes you wonder why it bothered

Dm
i fell in love with the first cute girl that i met
Gm
who could appreciate George Bataille
A# Dm
standing at a Swedish festival discussing the story of the eye
F
discussing the story of the eye

Gm
it's so embarrassing to need someone like i do you
A# Dm
how can i explain i need you here and not here too
F
how can i explain i need you here and not here too

Gm
I'm flunking out i'm gone i'm just gone
A# Dm
but at least i author my own disaster
F
at least i author my own disaster

Gm
performance breakdown and i don't want to hear it
A#
i'm just not available
Dm
things could be different but they're not
F
things could be different but they're not
Gm
the mousy girl screams violence violence

the mousy girl screams violence violence
A#
she gets hysterical
Dm
cause they're both so mean and it's my favorite scene
Gm
but the cruelty's so predictable it makes you sad on the stage
A#
though our love project has so much potential

but it's like we weren't made for this world
Dm F
though i wouldn't really want to meet someone who was

Gm
do i have to scream in your face
A#
i've been dodging lamps and vegetables

throw it all in my face
Dm
i don't care

let's just have some fun
A#
let's tear this shit apart

let's tear the fucking house apart
Gm
let's tear our fucking bodies apart
A#
but let's just have some fun

Dm
somehow you've red rovered the gestapo circling my heart

and nothing can defeat you no death no ugly world
Gm
you've lived so brightly you've altered everything
A#
i find myself searching for old selves
Dm F Gm
while speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells

A#
i've played the unraveler the parhelion
Dm
but even Apocalypse is fleeting there's no death no ugly world
Gm
sometimes i wonder if you're mythologizing me like i do you
A#
mythologizing me like i do you
Dm
we want our film to be beautiful not realistic
F
perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams
Gm
and you can betray me
A#
you can

you can betray me

Dm
but teach me something wonderful
F
crown my head crowd my head with your lilting effects

project your fears on to me i need to view them
Gm
see there's nothing to them
A#
i promise you there's nothing to them
Dm
i'm so touched by your goodness you make me feel so criminal
F Gm
how do you keep it together i'm all all unraveled
A#
but you know no matter where we are we're always touching by underground wires

Dm
i've explored you with the detachment of an analyst
F
but most nights we've raided the same kingdoms
Gm
and none of our secrets are physical
A#
none of our secrets are physical
A# Dm
none of our secrets are physical now
