You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're older still
Time is marching on
And time is still marching on
This day will soon be at an end
And now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
This day will soon be at an end
And now it's even sooner
And now it's sooner still
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're older still

I am still decoding the deep lyrics......there must be more to it than this? No? Then they are taking the piss.

While I'm in the minority with this opinion among TMBG fans , I thought Mink Car was their best album since Apollo 18. Especially after the dreary, overproduced John Henry and just fair Factory Showroom. Each track on MC effectively bends genres. While it may not hold together as an album, it is a batch of strong tunes.
 
I love these guys because 1). they're goofy as hell and 2). they're from the town next to my home town, but if you're not in the mood for their..."singing"...the gag gets old pretty quick. A little more musicality and sophistercation, fellers.

"Flood" and "Apollo 18" are two of my all-time favorites, but I sort of lost interest in TMBG after "John Henry" came out. Their quirkiness normally doesn't bother me, but this one was just strange. Maybe I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now? How is the rest of this CD? Anyone?

They might be giants, but they're not big and this song's none too clever.

Ah, yes, They Might Be Giants . . . what other band can generate comments like "witty truth" and "disarmingly funny." And, even when the listener finds the song somewhat "annoying" still has to "like" TMBG. As David Letterman once said, "When will we know?"

Great song! And with crumhorns, yet!
Yeah, where else would you hear a crumhorn and fagotto (early bassoon)??
Posted 20 years ago by Pyro    [ Reply ]
yes, there's an annoying aspect to it. but how can you not like they might be giants? i mean, really. you just have to. :nodhead:

Witty truth, I like it.

A cute little number that cut's through our usual mode of denial regarding the transience of life. Disarmingly funny, but think about it. Not much musically, but deserving of exceedingly occasional play, a little "fickle-finger-of fate wild card in the mix.

This song is delightfully stupid Could be played a little bit faster though.
It's much better live- after the third verse they freeze in place for maybe thirty seconds while John sways back and forth in silence... And yes, the whole thing's faster.

this ain't funny enough to redeem it from it's lack of musical value: 1

"Sucks" has too few letters to express how bad this is.

His nasally voice irritates the snot out of me.

Beginning of this song reminds me of the keyboard scene from Close Encounter of the Third Kind.

This song is an ageless, timeless classic...to think it took this long to surface!

I used to be a big John & John fan, but TMBG started heading down the toilet with John Henry, and haven't managed to crawl back out yet. This is just more of the same. Makes their earlier stuff look even better.
Posted 21 years ago by Art_Carnage    [ Reply ]
Shouldn\'t they do this one just a little faster?

I think the newer "No!" CD is much better than this one. Mink Car was a pretty big disappointment for me.

this song just gets more, er, relevant as the minutes tick away
