Vampire Weekend - Cousins Lyrics

[TheJosephus11]

I used to think it was "turn your back on the bitter world" but I'm pretty sure this video is right, it is biddlewood.

[LineriderMasterDX]

Wrong lyrics

[dirtydogdisco01]

i thought he said "me & my cousins are doin ya cousins"

[stormdumb]

Those lyrics make no fucking sense, but the song's beat is awesome!

[beckslove33]

Its bitter world but great video

[iscr3amstudios]

luv it :)

but some of the lyrics are wrong its " heard codes in the melody you heeded the car" and its bitter world not biddle wood

[Arpaveiro]

I love Ezra <3

[boarderhoppinguy]

Worrrrd

[dmcg69]

what a fucking awful song, how did this make it on the pro evolution soccer??? its a atrocious

[3GreenMojo]

@dmcg69 If it is an awful song, why did you look up the song? Let people have their opinion and like the song. You're opinion is that you hate the song, so just don't bother, mate. I'm just saying...

[annatheawesome319]

@dmcg69 you're fucking awful and atrocious. Just for saying that.. have a little self control, huh?

[LonewolfStrikes]

*sniff sniff* i smell ownage!



[danielabzzn]

@LonewolfStrikes you don't smell anything she just left because she was done fighting over something stupid, also she made a new better lyrics video soo don't think you're big fighting over the internet

[LonewolfStrikes]

sniff sniff i smell ownage!

[LonewolfStrikes]

@vampireweekday1 save your breath you dunce you'll need it for your partner tonight, are you always this stupid or are you making special effort today. BOOOOM SIT THE FUCK DOWN PRICK!!

[LonewolfStrikes]

[vampireweekday1]

@LonewolfStrikes so what i proved you wrong and now you're going to tell me to have sex with a fruit

am i missing something or..............

people come for the lyrics. the CORRECT lyrics. d e r p.

[LonewolfStrikes]

@vampireweekday1 the only lyrics that are wrong are biddlewood and that's been corrected in the description box so shut the fuck up and stop trolling you goat fucking dunce

[vampireweekday1]

@LonewolfStrikes tonnes of lyrics are wrong. i put up a video with the REAL lyrics. Buy Contra and read the booklet herp derp it's right there god you're dumb aren't you.

[danielabzzn]

i can turn my back on the biddlewood

who knew?

[vampireweekday1]

YOU CANT EVEN CALL THIS A LYRIC VIDEO WHAT ARE YOU DOING

IT'S HILARIOUSLY PATHETIC

[vampireweekday1]

oh my god the lyrics are so wrong i cant breathe this is hilarious

[SHUNARISHIA]

PES 2011 :)

[LonewolfStrikes]

Sorry just saw the description box

[LonewolfStrikes]

Is it bitter world or biddle wood

[dunhamnumber1]

not bad.

[ColorMePink33]

It's about the asshole critics who don't give the band a break over the "rich kid" image and the so-called "prestige" they came from. "2006, greatest hits, little list-maker" = critic! He himself is too good to go inside to check out a band, so he "waits in the car" then writes a scathing review "using all ten fingers". When I hear the chorus, all I can think of it the fact that the bassist is Scott Baio's COUSIN. Birthright, the line thats "always running". I'm confident in the analysis!

[robbiesrobin]

i love this song but WOW how late am i in finally finding it lol

[PauseNoHomo]

ur all retarded this song was written about how he got so sick of all the preppy rich ivy league students worrying so much about the elegance of their family and how they brag about specific family members who have accomplished a lot hence the "u and ur cousins and me and my cousins, its a line thats always running".

[fsyeah]

PES 2011!

[purwantod]

seriously wtf, "u and ur cousins u and ur cousins". worst fucking song ive ever heard

[UNSCODST13]

@purwantod worst fucking comment i've ever read.

[TheDavidAguayo]

It's "you and the smart one" not "model"

[Sheepmamma11]

vampire weekend one of their songs at the concert i went to

[avielMenter]

I have not found any consesus on the lyrics, but one thing in common about each version: none of them make any sense. The only more nonsensical songs than this that I've seen are Bohemian Rhapsody and I am the Walrus, the latter of which was specifically made to not make sense.

[InDaNameaJebuz]

Is it not.... If you "art-life" is gritty, ?

[thendoc]

They Have The Lyrics On The Website.

Click Lyrics, then click Cousins

[GrunnehBear]

ok for one alot of the lyrics are wrong I know because I have this song on gh5 and I've sang it so I know wat they are

[MrROFLKOPTR72]

this would be a fun song on guitar hero

[TC769]

Hey Grape, its not biddlewood i think. I THINK its actually "bitter world".

[GrAp3Juic30]

@TC769 its the first two words of the description haha

[TC769]

@GrAp3Juic30 lol i saw that in the description but i forgot to delete the comment... *facepalm*

[leletate1]

i haven't the foggiest clue what this songs about...well...its about cousins i guess...but still???

dnt get me wrong i like it though

[csswafford]

what does the song mean? it makes no sense??

[GrAp3Juic30]

@csswafford does it have to make sense to make you happy?

[csswafford]

@GrAp3Juic30 true

[csswafford]

@GrAp3Juic30 lol thanks for replying, although give me some evidence on how? im not saying ur wrong, i just want to kniw how you acquired this idea

[OriginalShrimpVendor]

@csswafford Do any of Vampire Weekends songs make sense?

[TheTylerKauffmanShow]

@csswafford its abought a boy who's dad never acnoliged his talents so he just stops trying

[nickjsoffdachain14]

@csswafford Songs don't have to make sense. Some Beatles songs don't make sense. Have you ever actually listened to I Am the Walrus? You should.

[csswafford]

@nickjsoffdachain14 lol im a huge beatles fan, and actually most of their songs are based on somethuing completely random, for example lucy in the sky with diamonds is based on paul mckartneys daughters drawing. and strawberry fields is based off of lennons hometown. they just express it in metaphors. this however i have yet to know the meaning of

[nickjsoffdachain14]

@csswafford okay. so you just explained a few songs that exactly made sense. Now... can you not change the subject and use your fan skills to explain I Am The Walrus??

[csswafford]

@nickjsoffdachain14 well that song is obviously spoken in 1st person by a guy claiming hes a walrus lol, j.k ya that one is unexplainable

[frogsplayuke97]

@csswafford

Does it really matter tbh? it's great! buuut i do think mumford and sons did a better cover to be honest with you :) x

[DeviaPeregrinus]

@csswafford Every song has meaning, you just have to unlock it.

[I0WNTREEZ]

I love the bell part at the end =)

[ftp44]

Brilliant!!!

[NathanGibson100]

i love the guitar in this unreall song <3

[LadyQGinny]

In Italy, "My cousin" is like a stupid myth. The male cousin is the cool one who does things worthy Chuck Norris, while the female cousin is the corny horny whore-girl. But it's bullshit XD

The song is good! I like it ;-P

[FREAKINAWESOMEx]

Oeh ah - eh eh ! :'D

[zionist44]

vampire weekend isn't good...how the f*** is their album #5 onitunes?....this song is another bomb by them only the chorus is avg. e/t else sucks

[bloodydragon]

@zionist44 just like miley cyrus, jonas bros, 80% of rap thats out today? Oh no :/

[xenokinetic]

Monotonous and shitty

[PurgYo]

@xenokinetic and who asked you?

[Sweetness101123]

@PurgYo damn...owned lol

[KennethPaigeOfficial]

I heard this at the florida mall & i jst have to download this

[pensamentosgfg]

This give you a sweet sensation.

[lizbeth123gg]

I like blasting this song in the car on on my iPod LOL

[EnolaTheSiikopath]

I listen to this song when I feel sad. ^_^

[ILoveYewAlexWolffxD]

This Is An Awesome Song!! (:!

[VanillaSponk]

It's 'You can turn your back on the bitter world'...

[blindsight17]

I really like this, but wtf does it mean?

[1001010010plus]

@blindsight17 i read on the official vid that it means somthing about incest, but it was a comment so i dont beleive it.... o.o

[rsvidsguy]

the lines dont make sence at all, but i think its fun XD

can i make a rsmv from it?

[calebstandfill]

this is weird i like weird

[8Luvcats8]

AWESOMENESS!!

[EmilyluvsMCRx]

wtf....this is shit...

[SUSHIroyalee]

@EmilyluvsMCRx

You're shit. judging from your youtube account name, you're probably just some punk ass 15 year old emo scene teenybopper that doesn't know good music rofl

[EmilyluvsMCRx]

@SUSHIroyalee it's my opinion...and the lyrics don't make any sense and the singing is just plain wierd

[loopsterone]

its a weired song

[zannoob]

Love it ^^

[daysleeper236]

Didn't they perform this on SNL or Letterman or something?

[megabananaduderox]

@daysleeper236 ya, they were on SNL

Gr8 song!!!

[khakhao]

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins,

[moonshine100]

[kali4good]

[codec98]

This is the perfect song to listen to while HIGHHHHHHHHH <3

[rainbowscustard]

You and the smart ones sit outside of their sight In a house on a street they wouldn't park on at night . . . You, greatest hits 2006 little list-maker Heard codes in the melodies You heeded the call You were born with 10 fingers. . . Interesting colors I discovered myself If your art life is gritty, you'll be toasting my health If an interest in culture should be lining the wall When your birthright is interest you could just accrue it all Love this song! :)

[ClubpenguinJavaChip3]

ILoveThisSong<3

[Aniita44eloise]

[beautifulXXdesasterr]

great song, sounds odd on this vid thoouugh. the words arent loud enough or its too fast or something/

[sdinosour]

"You and this model..." is actually "You and the smart one"... "You waited in the car" is "You heeded the call"

[BANGER224]

yeah u and ur cousins u lebo fuks

[benwaight]

Makes no sense, rhythm and cadence alter often, and... I LOVE IT!

[WildWerewolfGirl27]

Is it "biddlewood"? I always thought it was "bitter world".... Ha, I just realized that I'm ruining that perfect 123 comments.
