LYRICS:
We were the French club dropouts, but we never got excused from class. The secretary must have been high to turn a blind eye on us sneaking out back. Then we were pregnant on the balcony and you caught me with a cigarette. I never put the thing to my lips, just crushed it and spit on where I laid it to rest. I was the best at being second place but now I’m just the runner up at being the second one you think of every day before you go back to one. We were the law school rejects, so we quarreled at the bar instead. Shot out in four words or less: you want a jail, you want a mess. You have the right to drink less. Then we were floating on a balcony and I fell into a trampoline. I never should’ve looked for a hand from an invisible pushmi-pullyu pushing on me. I was the best at being second place but now I’m just the silver you dread, and only in the shape of a bullet am I ever the shape you see when you wake up dead. So will you cauterize the bleeding or bastardize the meaning? I’m the one worth seeing as a waif, a friend. I guess that’s the extent. More than assisted when you cut inside the paper to project it from the lighthouse and eject it out into the void. Oh, I was the best at being second place.

I have school in 4 hours , I need to go to sleep. Why am I watching speedy ortiz videos. Kill me.
Butt Hole OMG ITS ME RIGHT NOW
Butt Hole I'm glad that I'm not the only one xD
graduated. not me anymore
the papa roach lyrics on the karaoke screen around 1:08 really sold this video for me
Foil Deer is a sick album. All there stuff before is great, but it is fun to watch them evolve as a band. Can't wait to see them in Dallas in a week!
How were they?
They were really good. One of those bands that's plays well live. I've gone to two of their shows now
they are touring 2023!
"Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?"
"Why are you wearing that stupid human suit?"
Oh shit
I love this band, man. Gotta see them live.
Happydayz 94 i saw them open for the Breeders before i knew them. i was in love on the spot.
Awesome video. So stoked about this album, and seeing Speedy next month!
Speedy Ortiz has the keys 2 my heart
A nice band we need more female rock singers
Just heard this on Left of Center... immediately loved it!
Heard this browsing at amoeba records... Walked out with it. ❤️
"I was the best at being second place but now I'm just the runner up"
This was funny and cool I need to check out more of there stuff.
One of my fav
I can't believe I've never checked out their music videos before. They're delightfully hokey.
This is great!
i dig it
great cut
Whoever thought of this music video had a few too many googly eyes before they came up with it.
I like this theory but I also like the idea they went out and bought them for the video
what an awesome video. im in love.
So dope.
Krill !!!!!!!
Sounds like the bastard love child from a one-nighter between Pavement and Liz Phair . .. in a good way
ikr
This is so accurate!
Strategically placed microaggressions.
+ztaylor9891I get the reference! This band is a microaggression for me because bad music triggers me.
What?
I love trippin on googley eyes man
art
oh wow. This just reminded me of Liz Phair... strongly!
trefrog just thought the same :-)
trefrog holy shit it does. i was thinking something like the breeders but not quite. totally forgot about liz phair
***** so did I
...can we all just appreciate the guys face in the video screen shot...
ohmygosh paranoia agent reference!!!
Why does this remind me of Tegan and Sara's "Floorplan" so damn much?
As someone who recently tripped on 7g of shrooms I can confirm it do be like dis
Anyone know where the video was shot? I'm guessing Friendly Toast in Cambridge.
2:21 my friend Christine
sav them live in Hamburg.
Why so much dislikes? That is dope!
MisterLama Because they are all brainwashed with that shitty pop music on the radios :/
@@Nihilistgoddess 1- nothing wrong with liking pop music
2- maybe people have different taste of music?
@@StephaneLevs the most people are just following mainstream music. they are mainstream
@@Nihilistgoddess Indeed.
I just dont understand why people bash mainstream music (especially today, with how easy it is to find music).
You can support any bands, any genres without going at war against the other ones.
I guess some people just want to watch the world burn :/
@@StephaneLevs and yes shitty pop music was the wrong word for what I actually wanted to say.. sorry
Howdy!
YA
Kinda reminds me of Old Age and If You Must by Nirvana ; maybe a hint of B.O.M.B. by Bush. :)
definitely! and I also get some weird Garbage vibes sometimes.
well damn. amazing song
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her paranoia agent doll though!
Silly and sinister do start with the same letter after all.
Anybody notice the lyrics for last resort @1:09 mark
1:20 UM, WAS THAT A MAROMI PLUSH?
Sadie is so cute
Guys I think this music video maybe possible just might have the chance of being about DRUGS!
really? Nooo
I dont remember stan marsh being apart of this band
Персонаж из клипа, случайно, не Киевлянин??
Well since Courtney Barnet came out as a lesbian, I guess Sadie is my new celebrity crush.
lolttyl143 you cant crush on a lesbian?
lolttyl143 LOL
+lolttyl143 Dude Courtney has been out since before she was famous! But hey, Sadie, Angel Olsen...there are plenty out there
+Jem S Angel Olsen is wife
Abel Ramirez I'm going to see her this summer, as well as Courtney Barnett. So stoked.
Stop getting lasers in your eyes, it's bad for you.
Life Is Strange? excuse me? found this band as guest on KEXP please...
what's wrong with discovering them with life is strange?
Papa Roach karaoke
Love the album but the music videos aren't so good :/
This song is really bad.
People have different tastes. You don't me calling whatever music you listen to shit. So go into your own element. :)
