FEATHER IN YOUR CAP Sign in or register

 
Make a move with what you can
Dead waters rise higher than your mind
Disappointment is a feather in your cap
You want the truth so you can crush it in your hand

There's no map that can tell you where you are
You're in between things and only go half way
Your tangled brain
Your tired old refrain
You'll be singing it in your tired old asylum

You want the best
You want contests
My eyes are filled with prizes you've been showing
Your disappointment is a card up your sleeve
Place your bets at the door before you leave

NOTES:
Originally recorded with Calvin Johnson during the "One Foot in the Grave" sessions and released on a 7" of the same name, but when Beck entered the studio with Tom and Rob for what Beck intended to be the follow-up to "Mellow Gold", he decided to re-record it. As the direction of the record changed, Beck kept this song in the vault until 1997, when he released it on the "Suburbia" soundtrack.

Bust a move with what you can
Dead phone machine piled on the table
Disappointment is a feather in your cap
You want the truth
Not when it's unplanned

You want the best
You want contests
Where everybody loses on purpose by mistake
