Minus The Bear - This Ain't A Surfin' Movie Lyrics






When I turned the page
The corner bent into a perfect dog ear
As if the words knew I'd need them again
But at that time I couldn't see it
I would read that page every day for the next year

She sang a short tune
And I came from her soft touch and slept

We sat on a shoreline watching wind scalp the white off the waves
Sitting on a shoreline, and if I could do it, I'd dog ear this page
We spoke about growing old and filling the future's empty stage

I hope the weather holds
But you don't need the sun to make you shine
These island towns don't care for city folk
But I think we can starve the city from our minds

I know we won't want for much
It's just mea and you and a bed and a shoreline

    ok!!! got the message dude. haha

  17. T.... E....

    Oh, but it is

  18. t.... ....

    There other 2 albums werent as great. This is what I know about being gigantic EP, Highly refined pirates, They make beer commercials like this EP, and Menos el oso were good. I have mix feelings on Planet of ice

    t.... ....

    you are tripping !! Planet of Ice was gold. from start to finish !

  19. M.... I....

    yes. yes. yes. so much fucking yes.

  20. M.... A....

    this song chokes me up everytime

  21. s.... ....

    minus tho boar

  22. J.... G....

    People that spell the title of the song correctly? Lol

  23. M.... E....

    They are so talented it takes me to a different world when i listen to them. What i love about this band is that you can find joy in either listening to just the lyrics or get hypnotized by the melody, plus i love how they just switch the tempo up on you out of nowhere lol this music is good to listen to any time but amazing while tripping :-).

  24. q.... ....

    I love the foreign feel of this album. Not sure if it was intended, though it'd make sense considering they sing about "foreign homes", the title is in Spanish, the artwork looks as though it was taken in another country, "Pachuca Sunrise" could refer to Mexico, & they sing about the San Juan islands. Starting with "Memphis & 53rd", it sort of sounds like him & some girl are traveling across the country, maybe through to Mexico? Great album nonetheless.

    q.... ....

    also it could be a double meaning. There are San Juan Islands in WA where the band is from... www.visitsanjuans.com/about-the-islands

  25. J.... W....

    It's like sex on a beach this song is. This song makes me think of a relaxing sunny day on the beach

  26. G.... ....

    Nice Incubus song.... oh wait

  27. H.... H....

    Awesome song. Sooo relaxing

  28. q.... ....

    it's just you and me and a bed and a shoreline....

    q.... ....

    classy !!

  29. A.... ....

    When I was on holiday in the Caribbean I would get a deck chair on the beach and listen to this on my ipod. I can't tell you how fitting this song was. Amazing!

  30. S.... ....

    Fuck that snapbackz 4 lyfe.

  31. G.... d....

    Well... That escalated quickly

  32. E.... ....

    Heavy motherfooking sigh.

  33. m.... ....

    amen to that

  34. c.... ....

    we sat on a shoreline watching wind scalp the white off the waves. i can see it, cant you guys?

  35. S.... ....

    I love this song so much, haha. I think my brother's the only one that hasn't really let the whole "and I came from her soft touch and slept" thing sink in yet.

  36. G.... ....

    people in cities do dress weird these days don't they...

  37. A.... ....

    It's not absolutely insane, but yeah, the quarter note triplets really throw off the feel of "4".

  38. S.... ....

    It's probably because they're syncopating in a way that no one else does.

    S.... ....

    Pianodog

  39. A.... ....

    Rhythms don't define time. It's just a way to organize the rhythm's phrasing. It all fits but it's syncopated.

  40. S.... ....

    I'm confused, if this song has four beats a measure why is the rhythm so strange sounding?

  41. S.... ....

    FINALLY SOMETHING THAT IS AWESOME AND DIFFERENT!!

  42. J.... ....

    cheefing as we speak

  43. R.... M....

    nobody wants to know that about you dog (i'm totally not down with shortmans alien)

  44. s.... ....

    i feel like im an awesome peculiar person when listening to minus the bear. but not in a hipster way. i guess we just understand each other's feelings

  45. x.... ....

    @BariLax Well, it's "*for* her soft touch," but still, good point. XD

  46. x.... ....

    @gnarlyCereal Then you seriously don't have an ear for music. That's one of the softest chord progressions I've ever heard.

  47. M.... D....

    I like the very next line. ..."and slept" lol. busted and hit the zzzzzz's

  48. M.... H....

    @BariLax she had a nice set of tits... that's the conclusion I draw from that.

  49. B.... ....

    "I came from her soft touch"?
    That's pretty subtle.

    B.... ....

    and slept ;)

    honest and accurate stuff.

  50. J.... M....

    The saddest aspect of my existence would be for either myself or one of the amazing members of this band to die before I can see them play live.

    J.... M....

    I hope you were able to.. cause they are done :-(

  51. T.... ....

    Don't have to be high to enjoy good music.

  52. P.... W....

    Had such a awesome day and this just adds to it!! Love Minus The Bear!!

  53. C.... ....

    about 2 years ago all i would do is rip a few bowls and ride my fixie around UofA campus best time of my life.

  54. M.... D....

    @wewereinthecorner The last two lines from Double Vision Quest

  55. O.... ....

    I want to.grow a beard :) and be awesome like them

  56. M.... D....

    Greatest band in my life. Got some MTB lyrics tattooed on my arm

  66. p.... ....

    @halfsaponigirl this is the most perfect line.

  67. Z.... ....

    You can listen to this song to whatever you do. You can use it to cruise to, study or work to, or even to help lull you to sleep at night.

  68. R.... ....

  77. g.... ....

    @ktirawi i agree- but people are strange... ask Jim morrison... i stopped trying to understand.....

  78. S.... C....

    idk why but when i listen to them it reminds me of different seasons, like hooray is winter and this reminds me of a summer day.

  79. S.... ....

    when i saw this song live it was beautiful. it was perfect. in the pause i turned around and all my friends were almost in tears. they are all so appreciative of this band and so am i.

  86. m.... ....

    @lovelykk haha, true. But the very last line of the song is also exceedingly sweet, especially "...it's just you and me and a bed and a shoreline...". It cheers me up aaaaaaaaaall the time =P Makes me smile and believe I have a soul mate out there. Most days, I feel like "Ugh, this girl doesn't exist"; listening to this, I feel like it's only a matter of time C;

    Beautiful, beautiful song

  87. j.... ....
