ok, it's not platinum originality but in a world where almost everything sounds like Cake and Cake is mostly stale well financed overly intentional indy wannabe frat boy crap, i'm giving these guys props for using stellar influences, using them well aND rockin it. i'm giving it an 8 for the resistance. Viva la resistance!! one of you goof ball nay sayers gave Miles Davis a 1?! that speaks volumes
 
Trying to make any links between this and Miles Davis also speaks volumes.

Gave it a 2 till it got to the refrain, then it went down to 1.  Sucko.

"Kevin is a Lada"? "Kelly holds your water"? "And don't you know I'll be your badger"? Weird! Nurse, where are my eardrops?

 Oh so ya did a stint at the US Camouflage testing grounds aye ?  I heard you can easily walk into the wall thinking it's Griffith Park or a wee bit-of-supper at the detox ward.

I'm more convinced that they're mostly deaf. It would explain the atonal quality of this song, at least.

Tapes and tapes of Pixies? Could do worse. IMO, could do better too (not the Pixies, Tapes 'n Tapes). Needs work.

I'll give it an initial 6 becuase it is somewhat engaging, catchy and a bit of a toe tapper. We'll see where it goes after a few listens.
I felt that way too, but it's really grown on me. It's at an 8 for me.

Would the fast horse take us to the end of this song any faster? If so, I say giddy up!

I can only assume that this song is about what it's like to be the punk kids who hang out in the well at Harvard Square. Or at least, it's what I know imagine their lives are like.
The lyrics tell me someone is defending and clinging to his dead adict lover. Think the author is mixing his/her badgers and beavers, but whatever...

Maybe it's a spinoff group of the lead singer? Cause that bridge part sure sounded like him.

Manic. Weird. Frenetic. Indecipherable. Nonsensical. Oh wait, we're supposed to be talking about this SONG? Sorry. Kind of cool, I'm diggin' it. c.

Weird thing is that under analysis, I find the lyrics don't move me...in fact sometimes I just don't get it: "I will be your badger"? Anyway, here's the weird part: Every time the song comes on I have a sensation like "Oh, cool! It's that song again." And then I realize what song it is, and I'm disappointed that I have to sit through it. Maybe the folks below who called it catchy are on to something. I sort of like the song even though I really don't, if that makes any sense.

I bought this album by some local boys based on the highest critical praise. It just doesn't engage me, though.

what did they say about harvard square?
And when you rush I'll call your name Like Harvard Square holds all inane And don't you know I'll be your badger And don't be terse and don't be shy Just hug my lips and say good lies And know that I will be your bail bond I've read that I'm not the only one who finds their lyrics indecipherable . . . Pitchfork, I think . . . or was it some blog? Doesn't bother me (much) in this particular case.
