Sleater-Kinney - Good Things Lyrics

Probably my favorite from SK phase one. But, wow, really hard to get through now - the fact that it is pre-JW somehow makes it harder.

Didn't expect to find a song that so perfectly describes where Im at right now.

It’s 2019 and I’m barely getting into them. Thanks for posting the lyrics. :)

Someone should make a music video for this song

Forever a favorite song.
Some things you lose some things you give away

Best band of my generation. Corin has the most powerful voice.

Brilliant

I’m so gay and this is my theme song… I know for girls in this band arbor sexual but still…

This was the first vinyl album I ever bought in the late 90s at In Your Ear records in Boston. That day, I purchased the vinyl for Heaven or Las Vegas by the Cocteau Twins and fucking never looked back.

It's fieieiene.. and it's all mine... lol

One of my favorite songs from this era.

My fave song, I'm getting a quote from this as a tattoo

Awesome song

this versus the end of you forever

Got this feeling
When I heard your name the other day
Couldn't say it
Couldn't make it go away
It's a hard place
Can't be friends we can't be enemies
It's just too much
I feel the weight crushing down on my face

The hardest part is things already said
Getting better worse I cannot tell
Why do good things never wanna stay
Some things you lose some things you give away

Broken pieces
Try and make it good again
Is it worth
It will it make me safe today?
It's a dumb song
But I'll write it anyway
It's an old mistake
But we always make it why do we

This time it'll be alright
This time it'll be okay

I think it’s “will it make me sick today”

@mata hari its actually
A O RIVER!!!!

This song captures how I feel about my recent breakup. I lost myself and gave her away.

sweet jesus Corin x

LIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Some things you lose, some things you give away...

L7 was better.

Just adore this song so much.

go back on tour!!!

I love this song and her voice.

The instant I hear her voice, a happiness washes over me!

If you like Sleater-Kinney, check out TED DUCHAMP - TIME BOMBS, think you'll enjoy it, cheers!

this song is so good. the lyrics and her voice make you feel it all again.

what makes this song so good, among other things, is the frustration in her voice.

PeepsILoveEllie so good live, may you experience it

That's pretty much the through line in all my favourite music, a kinda passion and desperation.

the lyrics are good, just not the rhythm maybe if it strong acoustic it would be better? Idk

Route 108, the Old Annapolis road that led to the ocean in the 70's. The old Piscataway in headdress at Angel Falls. Every hard decision I've made in my life.

one of the few songs that illicit tears that I'll admit to.

*elicit

The hardest part is things already said.

so true.

very good song!

I want this song played at my funeral. It's completely 100% excellent.

becuse alll good thigs will die (this times) "there is no wagon, that can;t be attaheed..."

Why do good things never wanna stay?

can't be friends, we can't be enemies...

mystical jews for antidisestablishmentarianism - (everything is god!)

Yin (not in an unbalanced way :))

Some things you lose/Some things you give away

LOVE TO ALL BEINGS!!! WE LOVE THE UNIVERSE!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! - THROAT CHAKRA CHANNELING HEART CHAKRA

I LOVE SLEATER KINNEYS MUSIC!!! THE TREES ARE LOVING IT!!! EARTH SMILES!! EVERYTHING IS HASHEM!

loving kindness for Africa - thank you divine kundalini energy, you are benevolent and wise, thank you for leading me to druidry, thank you for giving me trust in my intuition, letting the energy which had solidified to grow, becoming the river, no longer masons, we are just energy fluid organic energy, earth wisdom, imbued in all creation, druid wisdom part of all cultures.. druids were prominent in the ancient African tribes like the kung people, the san, the dogon, and the ashanti, the druids maintained a nameless democracy, while the kings and queens actually had little power, these were (AND STILL ARE) much like American society today, except a lot more nature based, the druids especially knew the corresponding plants for all theirs and developed personal relationships with them, druids travelled the world, even in those times, through magical portals, and set up small shrines and healing areas, which still exist today, the African druids are deep rooted and have great wisdom,they did practice nature spiriruality and believed in a pantheon or various but did not use manipulative forces or voodoo by matter of virtue, the druids shunned slavery and worked against it even in Africa, and also America and all over the world

@Mayyim Ruach Hayyim whats that to do with S-K

+Mayyim Ruach Hayyim nice

I just think of the pixies when i listen to this , love it

Something seems to be missing here... like the song. I don't know if youtube yanked it for permission issues or what, but all I see is a blank screen and I hear nothing.

What a gorgeous song by Sleater-Kinney.

I am sorry for sharing my opinion, but this is really; really good

Haha, @HeGivesSalvation - no offence to JC, but wtf does He have to do with Sleater - Kinney?! I mean they're really good, but... =]

it's an old mistake, but we always make them, why do we?

SLEATER KINNEY RULEZ!

a perfect song.

the hardest part if the things already said.

Perfect.

How good is thing song? Seriously?

Really, really, REALLY good !

i like that their songs don't have a lot of views.

keep it for the people who know

I love love love Janet Weiss on drums but I gotta say Lora did some great work here, especially 1:12 - 1:19, adds so much to the song.

Glad I got to see them back in the day in Tucson.

i have seen this sign many times, don't know the band well but its cool to see local musicians succeed.

science has determined this song to be perfect at the molecular level...and then they play the shit out of it. they're the greatest...and terribly nice people.

It's a chemical formula, I hold these secrets inside of me

Damn good song!

i thought this band sounded familiar......driven by that offramp many a time.

I used to drive past this sign when I was going down to Olympia, WA last year. Nostalgia. Gogo go gog

I love Corin Tucker, Janet Weiss, and Oksana, the raddest drummer in the whole world.

so good

I forgot how fucking amazing this song is, some of the best lyrics too that make so much sense.
