bukowski (modest mouse cover)

just started learning this a few minutes ago, after watching alo8386's version..one of my favorite modest mouse tunes.

Woke up this morning and it seemed to me,
that every night turns out to be
A little more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?
God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

Well we sat on the edge of the river,
the crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!"
If God takes life, he's an Indian giver.
So tell me now why, you'll tell me never.
Who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all.
Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all.
Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.

But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
Here we go!

If God controls the land and disease,
keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
my problem is I can't see,
well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know?
Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw?

Well all that icing and all that cake,
I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake.
You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day,
when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK?

Went to bed and didn't see
why every day turns out to be
a little bit more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

Hey sorry it took me so long to add that video response request.. I didn't even know you had requested it! I guess that shit's a little over my head somehow.. hah. Anyway, rockin cover!

[KIDiotequeA]

haha, no worries mate.

Thanks for checking it out. Enjoyed your cover a lot. Completely ripped your arrangement off. I enjoy your vids. I ( and the rest of your subscribers) think you should post more often.

[AcousticElectric3]

[KIDiotequeA]

[porkstorm]

you must have learned this song by watching alo8386 play it..

[KIDiotequeA]

I absolutely did.

[ohlutro]

and your mom's a dyke, but she was a pretty good shag anyway!

[obliviouspet]

I find it weaker when people who posess a certain knowledge, slap it into other people's faces to show off with it, attempting to trample that person wanting to learn in the first place. What's with that? Be humane...

[MrCpdasmedag]

nice cover

[youtooberdudebro]

ALRIGHT MAN, GOOD COVER, I DESPERATLY NEED THOSE TABS. I CANNOT FIND THE CORRECT TABS ANYWHERE...WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW!?!?!?

[Snail4Sale]

very good:) most people who cover modest mouse songs ruin them. this is almost the best cover i have heard:)

[Shigga11]

Win.

[TrueAsTheForest]

I can't imagine why anyone would say "idk maybe another MM song." That's definitely ridiculous.

If they've ever heard this song, they would know that you did it extremely well.

It's definitely legit. I'm pleased with your vocals and guitar skills.

You did this song justice. I give you insane props.

Awesome job.

[kaylaacee]

I think this is my favorite MM cover by you. Good Job.

[6NoSurrender]

Bm, A, G/Gb

[wolfgangthefirst]

Beautiful adaptation, friend. Excellent choice.

oh, and props for your user name, the reference resounds loudly with the fan base

[darktor]

you really nail this man im learning this now, thanks for the inspiration.

[kaylaacee]

This is legit, keep it up.

I just saw them live last night, I was so upset that they didn't play this song.
