ATMOSPHERE: Fuck You Lucy vs. Pour Me Another

[K.Dub]

Two of my favorite Atmosphere tracks, hell maybe even of all time!
Let the voting begin.

Fuck You Lucy (from God Loves Ugly, 2002)

[Women Singing]
It - leave - never - would - you - you - show - could - I - if

She say that she still wants a friendship
She can't live her life without me as a friend
I can't figure out why I give a damn to what she wants
I don't understand the now before the then
Most of this garbage I write that these people seem to like
Is about you and how I let you infect my life
And if they got to know you, I doubt that they would see it
They'd wonder what I showed you how you could leave it
A friend in Chicago said that I should stay persistent
If I stay around I'm bound to break resistance
Fuck you Lucy for defining my existence
Fuck you and your differences
Ever since I was a young lad with a part-time dad
It was hard to find happiness inside of what I had
I studied my mother, I digested her pain
And vowed no women on my path would have to walk the same
Travel like sound across the fate ladder
I travel with spoon to mix this cake batter
And I travel with feel, so I can with touch
It's like that, thank you very much, fuck you very much!

[Chorus]
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

Fuck the 'what happened?' I got stuck
They can peel pieces of me off the grill of her truck
Used to walk with luck, used to hold her hand
Fell behind and played the role of a slower man
I want to stand on top of this mountain and yell
I want to wake up and break up this lake of hell
I feel like a bitch for letting the sheet twist me up
The last starfighter was wounded, time to give it up
On a pick it up mission, kept it bitter
Gettin' in a million memories just to forget her
The difficulty in keepin' emotions controlled
Cookies for the road, took me by the soul
Hunger for the drama, hunger for the nurture
Gonna take it further, the hurt feels like murder
Interpret the eyes, read the lines on her face
The sunshine is fake, how much time did I waste?
Fuck you Lucy for leaving me
Fuck you Lucy for not needing me
I wanna say fuck you because I still love you
No, I'm not okay, and I don't know what to do

[Chorus]
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

Do I sound mad? Well I guess I'm a little pissed
Every action has a point, five points make a fist
You close em', you swing em', it's hurts when it hits
And the truth can be a bitch, but if the boot fits
I got an idea: You should get a tattoo that says warning
That's all, just a warning, so the potential victim can take a left
And save breath, and avoid you, sober and upset in the morning
I wanna scream, "Fuck you Lucy!"
But the problem is I love you Lucy
So instead I'ma finish my drink and have another
While you think about how you used to be my lover

[Chorus]
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

Pour Me Another (from You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having, 2005)

All she wanted was a little bit of solid
Feels like love, it doesn't matter what you call it
Heal those cuts or hide em underneath the polish
Break another promise and take me as a hostage (take me)
Hold your job down and let the zombies crowd around
Thankin' mommy's god that it's a cop's town
Keep it safe for me while I chase a fantasy
Swervin through the galaxy, searchin for a family
Happily surrounded by planets and stars
She was stuck uptown while you was landin on mars
It's all fucked up now, caught your hand in the jar
Another small step back for tha man at the bar (hey bartender)
Spill a little bit of blood on the street
For the love that goes to those who they drink too much
And hold your own glass up to the heavens
Take a little time and try to count the seconds

[Chorus]
It goes, pour me another, so I could forget you now
Pour me another, so I could come let you down
Pour me another, so I can remember how
True that I am to this addiction of you [2X]

Drink it all away, numb it down to none
Stay awake tonight and wait for the sun
You say you hate your life, you aint the only one
Let your frustration out the gate and watch the pony run
One double, for the hungar and the struggle
Two for the fool tryin to pull apart the puzzle
Three now I smile while I wait for your rebuttle
By the fourth shot, I'm just another child in a bubble
Tryin to play with the passion and the placement
Just to see what these people let him get away with
Still tryin to climb a mountain for you
Hammer in my hand, still poundin on a screw
She don't listen so he don't speak no more
Nobody's whining 'cause neither is keeping score
Don't wanna think no more, just let me drink some more
Pour me another, cause I can still see the floor

[Chorus] 2X

Live life tipsy, Still if it don't fit right with me
Kiss me whiskey, lift my lips, press to my angel
Swallow it and leave her empty bottle on the table
Let the past fall, making faces at that clock on the back wall
Countdown to the last call, ask all these people that make sounds
"How long does it take for the pace to break down"
Another lonely little trophy
If only I could walk a straight line, I'd make it home free
And everybody in this bar thinks they know me
And my story like "poor me" (yea, pour me another homie)
I can count the days til you come back
Or I can follow them sunrays down to the traintracks
I can stumble drunk over hope and love
Or I could keep drinkin until I sober up (hey waitress)

[Chorus]

Bottles and pints, and shots and cans
Couches and floors, and drunk best friends
Models and whores, and tattooed hands
Cities and secrets and cats and vans
Good times, laughter, bad decisions
Strippers and actors, and average musicians
Mornings after and walks of shame
They bartender knows me by my real name
Sing it

[K.Dub]

I haven't made up my mind yet, I'll sleep on it.

[Laconic]

My vote goes to "Pour Me Another."

However, I also enjoy "Fuck You Lucy."

[K.Dub]

Props for replying and voting, Lac.

After listening to both once again, I'mma have to say Fuck You Lucy wins by an inch 'cause of the lyrics and Slug's "mood".

[Low Key]

Both are good tracks, but as a MPLS native, I'd have to say my opinion is slightly bias. "Always Coming Home To You" is one of my favorites, followed by "Trying To Find A Balance" when Kanye was still hungry and making relevant beats. There are several on Atmosphere's latest album that I really like too.

Yeah, I just chose these two because they are somewhat similar in lyrics etc.
Kanye?

Kanye West produced "Trying To Find A Balance" before he blew up.

Nothing about that in the booklet.

Maybe I heard wrong, but just like Dead Prez's first album, Kanye might have done some ghost producing. I have seen several websites giving Kanye the credit for making the beat. I'll do some more research into the matter when I'm not drunk as hell. lol

[RingMan]

My vote goes to "Fuck You Lucy."

However, I also enjoy "Pour Me Another."

Fuck You Lucy is better overall, Slug flows better, better beat, but lyrics in Pour Me Another made it harder to choose, but Fuck You Lucy still wins

[Birdie]

They both sick but I picked ''Pour Me Another''.

[Laconic]

Kayne produced "Trying to...?"  Try telling that to Ant 

I really hope your wrong 

[Birdie]

Kanye West produced "Trying To Find A Balance" before he blew up.

Bullshit.

Tell Ant.

[Hoodlum204]

There Both Good Tracks.....But I Voted For "Pour Me Another" 

[Low Key]

Bullshit.

Tell Ant.

I really hope your wrong 

I always thought Ant did all of Slug's production. There were a couple different websites and a few of my friends claiming Kanye did it. I don't own the album so I couldn't check the linear notes and it sounded half way legitimate to me.
