​del mar county fair 2008 Lyrics

[Verse]
It already feels like October
They say, "You go with the boys, I'll go with the girls"
I don't remember much, some colours and a mirror maze
I think I figured out what it's all for
I got everything I wanted, but I wanted more
Take a night bus, board a red-eye to steer your fate

[Pre-Chorus]
It's my bad, it's my bad, it's my bad, don't lie
I'll pay it back, pay it back, pay it back sometime
Don't be mad, don't be mad, don't be mad when I
Apologise for the very next time
It's my bad, it's my bad, it's my bad, don't lie
I'll pay it back, pay it back, pay it back sometime
I can't relax, can't relax, I'm not built like you

[Chorus]
You wouldn't let it eat you wholе
You wouldn't let it eat you whole

[Pre-Chorus]
It's my bad, it's my bad, it's my bad, don't liе
I'll pay it back, pay it back, pay it back sometime
Don't be mad, don't be mad, don't be mad when I
Apologise for the very next time
It's my bad, it's my bad, it's my bad, don't lie
I'll pay it back, pay it back, pay it back sometime
I can't relax, can't relax, I'm not built like you
[Chorus]
You wouldn't let it eat you whole
You wouldn't let it eat you whole
You wouldn't let it eat you whole
You wouldn't let it eat you whole
(You wouldn't let it eat you whole)

[Bridge]
I had a bad day, that's not a stranger to you
You cried last night, I don't have nothing to prove
It wouldn't work well, I wouldn't know what to do
I couldn't know what to do, I never know what to do

[Outro]
Breaking and breaking and breaking again
Oh, why would you do that? Go sleep with my friend
Make most of youth, but sometimes it don't bend
Why'd you pretend?
Breaking on broken glass, and it's all I can see
Thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking it's all that I need

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A cover of “Del mar county fair 2008” by electronic musician underscores and singer-songwriter Maxwell Young, Cavetown uses a similar production style to the original, but cuts out the majority of Young’s verses.

The track has similar voice manipulation to “a kind thing to do,” with Robbie’s voice being pitched up and layered with multiple versions of itself.

Robbie first teased this track in an interview on November 4, where he described “del mar” as one of their favorite tracks from underscores.

Initially only available on physical copies of the deluxe edition of worm food, the track was released on streaming services in February of 2023.

Genius Answer

I’ve gotten really into underscores, my favourite track of hers being “Del mar county fair 2008” (which I may or may not have made a cover of which I’ll release soon…). Her production is super sick and inspired me in the late stages of mixing worm food.
