Uncle Joe Lyrics
I'm looking at the ceiling with
An awful feeling of loss and of loneliness
The after late night television pain
I'm running, running, running out of strength
And it feels so wonderful to swim in our fear
And it's unacceptable, the awakening of life
Could you tell me about what you know?
I've been having mental problems
And the solution is unclear
I'll try anything three times
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
That I can stand to be with me
So my dependency on you grows
And they say I will lose my house
And can you spare me of my pain?
Can't you spare me of my tears?
Uncle Joe, Uncle Joe
I am over-influenced by movies
Tomorrow, the darkest pool
Let's all go to the pier
Tomorrow, the darkest pool
Do you know? Lies below the sky
Someone just pointed this out to me:

@VoVoVoioVoVoVon I posted this so long ago that It took me awhile to remember what I was talking about.

I think everyone feels this kinda pain once in their life, I know I have. This song is just totally about the loneliness, the vulnerability of living in a huge world and you being so small and unnoticable.
This song is one of their best, in my estimation (off their demo(?)- the lyrics are full of grief to me. Anyone with patience should check this band out. Their patience will be ripely rewarded. (as long as you can or want to handle really depressing songs)
I love this song ... makes me wanna cry everytime I hear it .. so beautiful
the live version from the 97 Hultsfred Festival is insanely awesome. gave me a new appreciation for this song.
I cleaned the lyrics up a bit.
Where have all the people gone in my life? I'm looking at the ceiling with an awful feeling of loss and loneliness The after-late night television pain I'm running out of strength, I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' out of strength
And it feels so wonderful To swim in our fear And it's unacceptable The awakening of life
Oh, Uncle Joe, could you tell me what you know? I've been having mental problems and the solution is unclear I'll give anything a try once, I'll try anything three times I don't care (x4)
But there's no company That I can stand to be with me So my dependency On you grows
And I am not very well read And did you say that I will lose my house? And can you spare me of my pain? And can you spare me of my tears?
Oh, Uncle Joe
It was unintentional When I spit in your beer I am overinfluenced By movies
Let's all go to the pier tomorrow The darkest pool Did you know Lies below the sky
To elaborate on Aniland's excellent transcript, I always loved the sly self referential part of this songs lyrics: And I am not very well read And did you say that I will lose my house? And can you spare me of my pain? And can you spare me of my tears?

I had an uncle named Joe who just died this week. This song wraps around my head and touches base on so many emotions. Mark is absolutely incredible.
