All Time What

from I Like Fun by They Might Be Giants

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Limited edition 180g pressing on clear with black wisp vinyl!

    Why is the world in love again? They Might Be Giants have released I Like Fun, a remarkable 15-track album.

    I Like Fun jumps with surprises, vitality, and the startling point of view of these Brooklyn originals. Over a year in the making, songwriters and band founders John Linnell and John Flansburgh draw on themes of dread, death, and disappointment and set them to their driving, hyper-melodic music. The results will leave even the most heavy-hearted among us with a renewed sense of wonder. Fresh and sonically adventurous, the band’s command of the studio and the song is in rare form from beginning to end.

    On I Like Fun, the spotlight is also on the band’s formidable long-standing live lineup; drummer Marty Beller, bassist Danny Weinkauf and lead guitarist Dan Miller. While the group enjoys a reputation for delivering one of the liveliest shows around, the album accomplishes the rare feat of capturing that ecstatic intensity on disc. Co-produced with and mixed by Patrick Dillett (St. Vincent, Donald Fagen, The National, Mary J. Blige), the album was tracked and mixed at the brand-new Reservoir Studios—site of the legendary Skyline Studios where TMBG recorded their platinum-selling album Flood.

    All orders include an instant download of the album delivered to your inbox.

lyrics

I use my outside voice because I have no choice
The barn that I was raised in was constructed out of noise
And now I'm all torn up because my buttercup up and gone and left me
Said she finally had enough
Left me here to ruminate on all she can't admit
And all she can't explain

All time what
I never thought, I never thought
All time what
Things break apart, things break apart
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Man, she pulled out the rug from her doodlebug
Rolling down the highway, not a worry in her mind
Here's a flash card where someone's written "stultify"
I take it as a sign
It's hard to redefine
Same old sad soliloquy
They handed me a broom
The cast has left the room

All time what
Stumble about wrapped in a shroud
All time what
Partly submerged playing a dirge

Complete, completely, completelier
Defeat, defeated, defeatlier
Complete, completely, completelier
Defeat, defeated, defeatlier

All time what
I never thought, I never thought
All time what
Things break apart, things break apart
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
