Performed by
Elliott SmithAbout
This song was originally on a split 7-inch vinyl single with Pete Krebs’s track “shytown” on the A side released in 1994. Making this song Elliott Smith’s first single.
The song starts off recalling a memory of abuse at Charlie’s hands. Early drafts of the lyrics had “stick” instead of “loop,” havin...
No Confidence Man Lyrics
Charlie got a band in his hand
A rubber loop
Says I'm the man you really want
So just act natural
Don't try to tell me your bullshit scheme
'Cause I have no idea what you mean
No idea
I'm just trying to sleep
I've heard quite enough
Just to listen is really tough
'Cause you're on it all the time
Hearing the bells it's 9 A.M
You better wake up your friend before he won't wake up anymore
'Cause I got to split I'm late to leave
He gave me nothing but grief
And some bullshit story only I would believe
I've heard quite enough
I hurt quite enough
You're on it all the time
You're on it all the time
You're on it all the time
And you're full of it all the time
