Low - Poor Sucker Lyrics






Some poor sucker
At the bottom of the lake
Took the wrong way up
When the ground began to break
It's a long way out
It's the price we've got to pay

Showed her there, showed her that
Showed her new ways to think
Should have kept a better drink
Put your money in the bank
If your mind's made up
Then there's nothing left to say

All you've given, all you took
All you promised, all your hopes
After all you've done
Fling your body to the walls
It's the light, it's the truth
Only one thing you can do

Here I am, everything you broke
There ain't nothing left to take
If your eyes dried up
What the hell you gonna say
Gonna give it to you fast
Gonna give it to you straight

Hang on, it can wait
Gonna put you in your place
Gonna leave you in the dark
In the bottom of the lake
It's a long way back
That's the price you gotta pay

All you've given, all you took
All you promised, all your hopes
After all you've done
Fling your body to the walls
It's the light, it's the truth
Only one thing you can do

    ☄☄☄☄☄☄☄☄☄☄

    This is so very good.

  18. s.... ....

    I hope I will age as well as Alan Sparhawk.

    Just my ears or this was mixed slightly different compared to album version?

  22. �.... ....

    Reminds me of a male version of Fever Ray, this song at least does.

  23. D.... S....

    Really beautiful sound! And cool video :)

  24. O.... ....

    First time checcking out this band. The album is very different i like it

  25. J.... S....

    With the haunting vocals and the contacts, this is a great October music video.

  26. t.... ....

    One of my favorite songs from Double Negative. Such an amazing album.

  27. D.... S....

    aoty, love it!

  28. J.... B....

    Sparhawk painting those Jame Gumb vibes.

    J.... B....

    oh wait

  29. H.... L....

    2018 AOTY

  30. J.... T....

    I gotta see these guys live...

  31. n.... ....

    Not a single sound of electric guitar. To me, Low has been first and foremost all about Alan and his terrific, exciting and inspiring guitar work. Maybe that'll still happen when they play live. Ah, I guess I'm getting old...

    n.... ....

    You aren't listening carefully. It's in there, he's using it as a texture.

    n.... ....

    You are, but that's okay :)

    n.... ....

    are you deaf? There are tremolo guitars in the background of the verses

    n.... ....

    This song is saturated in guitar sounds, they're just not in the foreground

    n.... ....

    nilescram tedious Luddite alert. 🙄

  32. H.... o....

    Yeeeeaaaahhh!!!💎✌Very nice!!!

  33. C.... P....

    Always reeinventig! ❤

  34. D.... M....

    Ultimately, history will record that Low was one of the very best rock and roll groups that America ever produced ... hopefully.

    D.... M....

    I'm laughing at how you added "hopefully". There are many great unheralded rock bands and artists.

    D.... M....

    I'm not sure I'd classify them as rock n' roll, though.

    D.... M....

    Everything doesn't have to be the greatest ever. There are people that love them and that can be enough. Doesn't diminish them in any way.

    D.... M....

    It's nice when acclaim goes to the deserving sometimes. Makes you feel a little better about the world.

    D.... M....

    rock and roll? Mmm, I wouldn't say they're rock and roll.

  35. C.... A....

    Fucking hell, this is everything I feel and it's just - BAM - on my feed

  36. F.... R....

    Beautifully disturbing. Love this trio so much 💕

  37. S.... S....

    I have this album on constant repeat play! ❤️

  38. L.... ....

    Interesting birthday present, I must say.

  39. r.... m....

    On repeat

  40. A.... ....

    Really love this band.

  41. B.... W....

    I never knew.

  42. F.... A....

    Inspiring,beautiful,elegant

  43. V.... S....

    I love this new album so much. I'm not crying.

    V.... S....

    That's exactly my reaction. It is overwhelming. It is bleak, raw and merciless.

  44. A.... ....

    The sound of this album is so annoying. I love the fact that they keep on innovating, but they lost me on this one.

    A.... ....

    I respect your opinion, but I feel like this album is a culmination of years of experimentation. There's hints of The Great Destroyer, Things We Lost in The Fire, and lots of Ones and Sixes. It's amazing for me to hear the transformation. Obviously, not for everyone. It took me a while to warm up to Ones and Sixes and C'mon, so I definitely get where you're coming from. I just feel like this album is hitting all the right notes.

    A.... ....

    I hear ya. There's only a song or two off both C'mon and The Invisible Way I like, even after repeated listenings. Double Negative and Ones and Sixes though I loved instantly.

    A.... ....

    AgravepasmonK, i am struggling with the same conundrum and i have been listening since long division.

    A.... ....

    @Epitaphforyesterday Change is the only constant. Not for everyone, but one thing's for sure... they are growing as artists. I don't want another "Curtain..." I love that album to death - it's incredibly important to me, personally. But it's already there. I like that they're pushing in new directions.

  45. G.... S....

    Masterpiece

  46. J.... C....

    Astonishing. This album is a profound statement of our world right now. It is beautiful and terrible to hear, and requires multiple listens. Check out the full record.

    is it? that sounds boastful. i'm also about to buy the album. i've held off, more interested in how this is going to translate live. i have a ticket for next month.

    J.... C....

    What's this song about? About someone's greed backfiring on them?

  47. a.... ....

    So good...

  48. R.... M....

    Damn I'm on time for this one. See you next week in Amsterdam! <3

  49. G.... ....

    Lowe <3

    I love Low.
