The Best of Jill Hives - Guided By Voices

Written by：Robert Pollard

Paid up weathered and type O

Clad in gladstone watch him go

Swimming beneath the microscope

Hello lonely bless the nation

Missed a skip to all or none

Wooden soldiers fall upon

Try to find what makes her tick

While their finding out what makes them sick

I don't know where you find your nerve

I don't know how you choose your words

Speak the ones that suit you worse

Keep you grounded sad and cursed

Circle the ones that come alive

Save them for the best of Jill Hives

Been around and left you flat

Tragically decided that

Every child of God's a brat

And she's dying to escape them

But do we really need to see

All her punchdrunk history

And which of it might hold the key

For the exit to her destiny

I don't know where you find your nerve

I don't know how you choose your words

Speak the ones that suit you worse

Keep you grounded sad and cursed

Circle the ones that come alive

Save them for the best of Jill Hives

I don't know where you find your nerve

I don't know how you choose your words

Speak the ones that suit you worse

Keep you grounded sad and cursed

Circle the ones that come alive

Save them for the best of Jill Hives

Number one in all our souls

Trifle in the crystal bowl

Fill it up with 9 to 5

Save them for the best of Jill Hives
