Swans - Better Than You Lyrics






I'm so glad I'm better than you
I'm so glad I'm better than you are
I'm so glad I'm better than you
I'm so glad I'm better than you are

Sit here. Now look in the mirror
Something's wrong, your face is distorted
Feel the flow: there's blood in your body
And you can see clearly every heartbeat you make

Close your eyes, touch your mouth in the mirror
That's the wound that is made where the past meets the future
I'm so glad I'm better than you
I'm so glad I'm better than you are

I can see clearly through this veil of reality
And I can remember the feel of your skin
No, you never knew me and you never will
When nothing's there, nothing is concealed

I'm so glad I'm better than you
I'm so glad I'm better than you are
I'm so glad I'm better than you
I'm so glad I'm better than you are

    Friend: what's your favorite Swans song?
    Me:
    We are no longer friends. I'm so glad i'm better than him

  14. P.... C....

    Can I get this song without the baby talk in the beginning

    P.... C....

    Install Audacity - paste the song into - mark your unloved seconds - Cut - Save the outcome -> heretic work done.

    P.... C....

    "heretic work done" lmao

    P.... C....

    No, this is mandatory baby noise.

  15. R.... J....

    Saw Swans in London 1992.
    They opened the concert with this blistering track. Words fail me,
    even after twenty six years.
    No wonder Iggy rated them so highly.

  16. K.... L....

    Life affirming music.

  17. I.... N....

    Great album, great cover and art direction, awsome Lyrics and some great atmosferic tune.

  18. A.... K....

    I believe that’s the sound of Post-Rock being born. Just listen to that reverb and tremolo picking!

    A.... K....

    theopenmouth actually it is. https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/swans/white-light-from-the-mouth-of-infinity/

    Several other sites have it as post-punk as well.

    A.... K....

    @Jay Gee You can say people have decided that it is. But it really isn't. I'd put post punk ethos and background along with goth. But with Industrial or Post Industrial. Ya know what fuck genres lol

    A.... K....

    Y'KNOW IT MIGHT BE 17th CENTURY CLASSICAL, NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT

    A.... K....

    @Jay Gee Swans Children of God invented post rock.

    A.... K....

    @Jay Gee Glenn Branca "did" post-rock before Talk Talk.

  19. O.... L....

    Thank you for tha HD

  20. P.... P....

    Soooo rad! !! Go Swans 💘

  21. K.... K....

    Wow. I need to buy/find/get this album again.(itunes!!!) I forgot about it. Brings back so many damn memories. WOW. I know I would not have made it to almost middle age now without Gira's talent and music. Thank You, Michael. <3

  22. P.... M....

    Lol....I remember my cat always freaked out at the sound of the baby in the beginning of this track when I used to listen to this cd. HAHA it was so funny. The first few times I ever played it she actually jumped out of bed and looked around the room. Then her reaction was less intense each listen after the first few. HAHA

    P.... M....

    Hahaha, exact same experience here! She probably thought it was another cat

  23. C.... ....

    Awesome!

  24. P.... L....

    At last this is on YouTube!

  25. S.... ....

    lovely tune! i think it's my favourite from the album but it's just amazing not only the lyrics but instrumentals and background vocals are making such a weird atmosphere kinda sad and narcistic but still it's beautiful

    S.... ....

    Silver Better than narcissistic. True!
