Guilty Cocker Spaniels Lyrics - Modest Mouse

Well I took off running at the greatest speed 

I didn't bother looking to either side of me 

Well I didn't see, I just didn't see 

What was really going on 

The truth had stopped and the skyline rose 

Exchanging comfort for more fashionable clothes 

I'd left the hills at this point in time 

To run on treadmills in a perfect line 

Salad days add up to daily shit 

Sparked imagination until the sparks just quit 

And if this is fun, why am I so bored with it? 

Well I'll probably never know 

Guilty cocker spaniels eating table scraps 

Well we rolled over, how our masters clapped 

It felt so good we wanted more than that 

But when the program failed they defensively laughed 

We did things just how you asked 

Don't try taking us to task 

Didn't bite a face, no just a mask 

So happy Halloween! 

I drew a blank, we put it in a frame 

Wait what you're winning, you didn't say this was a game 

Well I guess I'll just have to play and play 

Until I'm out of cash 

Before I could spit it out 

I guess the words had burnt my mouth 

What can I say? 

There's the thought I laid it down 

So you could take it out of context 

Either way 

We said all along we deserve every bit 

And mostly we knew that the supply would quit 

But we got going, going just away with it 

Until everybody lost their mind 

Directly behind me and ahead of the time 

But don't you worry he'll fall right in line 

Yep, everything just might fly by 

No ones getting blamed this time 

Blame me so blameless 

Can we find a way to blame our way out? 

Well I postdated the eulogy 

For every blameless body, nah nah 

We are blamelessly teething 

On much more than we need, nah nah nah 

Blamelessly teething 

Well we're all getting blamed 

While everyone, everyone knew 

Well everybody, everybody knew
