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.

I took my best guess at the lyrics from live videos
as they don't exist in any offical capacity yet.
This is my Second tab, my email is [email protected].
I would massively appreicate any corrections or criticisms!
Thanks, I hope you enjoy playing this song as much as I have!
Chords
Am6 (x02212)
Fmin7 (1x111x)
A/G (302220)
C9 (x3233x)
G#m7 (464474)
In the final line of each verse there is a F# I have put in parentheses,
this is intended to highlight that a F# bass note is played right before jumping into
the A chord following it.
Verse 1:
Em Bm Em Bm
The Natives have a name for me but I can't remember what it is
Em Bm Em Bm
Some fucker took whats mine now he's making like she's his
G#m (F#) A G#m C#m A Am6
your shifty friend gave you a cactus for a gift, oh-oh ahh, oh-oh ahh
Em Bm Em Bm
such a stupid offering what's it meant to symbolize
Em Bm Em Bm
hostile immobility is that something to prize?
G#m (F#) A G#m C#m A Am6
Flood lights generate a hum, render sleeping some myth of man, oh-oh ahh, oh-oh ahh
Chorus 1:
C F Fmin7 A# A A/G
this morning finds me alive with my face pressed in the glass door
F C C9
this summer's been nothing but rain
A# A A
nature is writhing in her own filth again
Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm
ooooooh-ooh-oooooh-ooh-ooh
Verse 2:
Em Bm Em Bm
Took the bus to plaza de toros, on a dare
Em Bm
you cried all through the bullfight
Em Bm
and cursed me for taking you there
G#m (F#) A G#m7 C#m A Am6
riding back in silence to the hostel thinking only oh, only estocadas, ahh
Final Chorus:
C F Fmin7 A# A A/G
this morning finds me lying with my face pressed to the glass door
F C C9
this summer's been nothing but rain
A# A A
nature is writhing in her own filth again
Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm
ooooooh-ooh-oooooh-ooh-ooh
Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em
ooooooh-ooh-oooooh-ooh-ooh
