Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian at Best
Time: 1:29
Want bliss, daylight savings won't fix this mess
Under-worked and over-sexed, I must express my disinterest
The rats are back inside my head, what would Freud have said?

Want bliss, daylight savings won't fix this mess
Under-worked and over-sexed, I must express my disinterest
The rats are back inside my head, what would Freud have said?

Time: 1:38
With a good chance of A, indifference
And B, disinterest
In what the critics say

Time: 1:54
And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinedly

And I've embraced the calamity
With a detachment and a passive disinterest
Livin' out the back of my '97 Camry

Time: 3:04
And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely

Time: 2:27
Dogs body comatose, torchlight roast
Disinterest, disinfect
Retold, impressed by possession

Time: 2:53
Sung: And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely

I wish this would break
I breathe in your shadows and sleep in your disinterest
I breathe in your shadows and sleep in your disinterest

Time: 0:53
We understand you're staying and we're proud of you
There's a well-rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere
I don't know if that's what this time gave me or if it lead me here

Time: 1:34
This overwhelming urge
Towards you I feign disinterest
While I covet the attention

Time: 0:52
Is what makes us who we are
An obvious disinterest
A barely managed smile

Time: 0:36
Everyone I know will finally turn away
I will confuse and disinterest all posterity
Lost wisdom is a quiet echo

Time: 3:15
(I want to run from the drones with you)
But I can sense a faint disinterest
(I don't want to run from the drones and you...)

Time: 3:11
Dissociation with all humankind
Complete utter disinterest for staying alive
Consciousness, beyond severed from reality

Time: 0:22
Met in November at your best friend's backyard thing
So much disinterest in the fact that I could sing
But I still took you out for movies and we talked about

Time: 1:08
I may just look too shy
It's a disinterest not
That I'm a timid guy

Time: 0:27
I'll tell you what's really makin' me sad
Your disinterest is drivin' me mad
You're so fine

Time: 1:34
And promises unkept
We sit and watch the empire burn with mild disinterest,
But we are not forsaken,

Time: 0:12
Keep on keeping away
I'm courting her disinterest
You catalogue the ruins

Time: 1:40
Is it worth it now?
Disinterest in the things that made you wanna live
Is sad enough itself, isn't it?

Time: 1:41
Like it'd really make a difference
Or make up for your disinterest
I'm a bill you pay

Time: 0:38
That now will collide in an instant
Embraced by the world with its cold disinterest
Why should I attempt to reconcile

Time: 0:28
It's the only thing I can digest
Then I focus a general disinterest
I must catch up with all this stuff

Time: 0:51
Yeah you want control
Feign disinterest
But you always text

Time: 0:59
You wanna see me disappear
Turn the othеr cheek on your mess, utter disinterest
You wanna make it disappear

Time: 1:25
You and me careening on a see-saw
But now that you've shown disinterest in the thought
I've taken that it's not

Time: 1:00
We'd both fly away as if the breeze was strong
Your polite disinterest makes me look like a fool
But if that's what it takes, I'll be a fool for you

Time: 1:52
And meets the concrete
Performed disinterest
In everyone you meet
