Yup, LCW is my favorite album of theirs as well, but I do honestly love everything they've done. Brock's pretty unique as a lyricist, I think. Most great songwriters are some variation of folk, but Modest Mouse is heavy musically and in a lot of songs you can't even hear what Brock's lisping off.

On the way to god don't know
my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal
I'm trying to get my head clear
i push things out through my mouth i get refilled through my ears
i'm on my way to god don't know or even care
my brain's the weak heart, and my heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore
the ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward
inward and outward
in this place that i call home
my brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo
my heart's the bitter buffalo
we tore one down, and erected another there
the match of the century: absence versus thin air
on the way to god don't know
my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal
on this life that we call home
the years go fast and the days go so slow
