Eels - Flyswatter Lyrics






Little field mice living under the house
Never eating much
Tough life for a mouse
And if you think you're gonna be spared
You're wrong

Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin'
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you through
The day

Heat is rolling in like hell's red rug
Stinking like the breath of beelzebub
And if you think you won't walk on coals
You will

Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin'
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you through
The day

    I don’t understand the meaning behind the lyrics at all but I understand the meaning completely at the same time. I don’t get it!

  4. Q.... ....

    There is something about this song that shows something important, either it be the true colors of people or the weird side of us humans

  5. N.... N....

    One of the few good parts about high school, listening to the Eels

  6. q.... ....

    Little field mice
    Living under the house
    Never eating much
    Tough life for a mouse
    And if you think you're
    Gonna be spared
    You're wrong
    Field mice, head lice
    Spiders in the kitchen
    Don't think twice 'bout
    Whatever keeps you itchin'
    Ice water, flyswatter
    Gonna get you through
    The day
    Heat is rolling in like
    Hell's red rug
    Stinking like the
    Breath of Beelzebub
    And if you think you won't
    Walk on coals
    You will
    Field mice, head lice
    Spiders in the kitchen
    Don't think twice 'bout
    Whatever keeps you itchin'
    Ice water, flyswatter
    Gonna get you through
    The day
    The day
    Field mice, head lice
    Spiders in the kitchen
    Don't think twice 'bout
    Whatever keeps you itchin'
    Ice water, flyswatter
    Gonna get you through
    The day
    That's real good
    Oh yeah

  34. R.... M....

  35. t.... l....

  39. N.... ....

    Thank you YouTube recommendations.
    Once in a while you do deliver.

  40. C.... ....

    This song reminds me of Warioland 4

  41. p.... ....

    Mark Everet crazy but what we want from a family genius ??? Father big since

  42. A.... ....

    Saw someone asking what genre this is
    It's just Eels, Eels is a genre

    A.... ....

    Genre? If you like it, enjoy. If not, move on!!

    A.... ....

    What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
    "Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?"
    Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
    "Welcome back to the age of jive.
    Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
    You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."
    Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
    Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

    What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
    "Can't you tell that it's out of style?"
    Should I get a set of white wall tires?
    "Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
    Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
    Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental."
    Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
    It's still rock and roll to me

    Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
    'Cause it's always been the same old scene.
    There's a new band in town
    But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine...
    Aimed at your average teen

    How about a pair of pink sidewinders
    And a bright orange pair of pants?
    "You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
    If you just give it half a chance.
    Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers,
    You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
    Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
    It's still rock and roll to me

    What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
    "Don't you know that they're out of touch?"
    Should I try to be a straight 'A' student?
    "If you are then you think too much.
    Don't you know about the new fashion honey?
    All you need are looks and a whole lotta money."
    It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
    It's still rock and roll to me

    A.... ....

    His telephone dirty Lol.

    A.... ....

    pretty bland indie rock to be fair.

    Anybody knows who directed the video? Since and because of the early disc covers, I always associated something "Daniel-Clowes-like" with the Eels, and this video has a good turn on it.

  49. F.... ....

    Can someone please explain this video to me?

  50. C.... ....

    I frickin' love this song
    It has such a creepy vibe
    I know the lyrics by heart

    Little field mice living under the house
    Never eating much
    Tough life for a mouse
    And if you think you're gonna be spared
    You're wrong

    Field mice, head lice
    Spiders in the kitchen
    Don't think twice 'bout
    Whatever keeps you itchin'
    Ice water, flyswatter

    Heat is rolling in like hell's red rug
    Stinking like the breath of beelzebub
    And if you think you won't walk on coals
    You will

    Field mice, head lice
    Spiders in the kitchen
    Don't think twice 'bout

    Mr. E brought me here.... because Eels are perfect.

  60. k.... ....

    I wrote two unpublished novels about an Elf running a Detective Agency in Modern Scotland just so I could imagine this as the theme song.

    k.... ....

    Ever thought of uploading them anywhere on the internet or putting them on Amazon's indie publishing section? I'd read the hell out of those.

    k.... ....

    So? I wrote 6 unpublished novels and this is the theme to all of their unproduced film adaptations.

    k.... ....

    It isn't a competition.

    k.... ....

    I'll be the judge of that.

    k.... ....

    @James Ryan Well, competitions naturally need judges. You putting a panel together?
