Their lyrics are pretty good,especially in the second song

 

Cool. Here's a couple of others from Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers:

 

 

The National - Cardinal Song

 

never look her in the eyes

never tell the truth

if she knows your paper

you know she'll have to burn you

 

never tell the one you want that you do

save it for the deathbed

when you know you kept her wanting you

 

and do everything she'd never do

 

fall asleep with stranger's wives

the wild wives of unknown men

good for you, you've just become

just another one of them

 

never say you miss her

never say a word

 

and do everything she'd never do

 

don't let her see your cardinal eyes

don't let her see your cardinal eyes

 

let her treat you like a criminal

so you can treat her like a priest

girls forgive my human mind

girls forgive me one more time

 

never tell the one you love that you do

save it for the deathbed

 

and do everything she'd never do

 

don't let her see your cardinal eyes

don't let her see your cardinal eyes

 

jesus christ you have confused me

cornered, wasted, blessed and used me

forgive me girls i am confused

stiff and pissed and lost and loose

 

jesus christ you have confused me

cornered, wasted, blessed and used me

forgive me girls i am confused

stiff and pissed and lost and loose

 

******

 

The National - Slipping Husband

 

sit down dear we gotta talk

your acting like a kid

we don't wanna hear about

the things you never did

 

you coulda been a legend

but you became a father

that's what you are today

that's what you are today

 

spending all your time

somewhere inside your head

haunted by the important

life you coulda lead

 

but your kisses aren't enough

to keep your kids in line

so you better straighten out yourself

and give your baby time

cause if you don't give her what she needs

she'll get it where she can

she's lonely man

 

Don't leave yourself alone for too many days

Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping

 

you'll end up talking to the ghost

of your wife as if you knew her

your eyes will put her everywhere

 

and spending all your time

somewhere inside your head

haunted by the important

life you coulda lead

 

you'll fuck yourself to clear your head

you'll close your door and go to bed

you'll try to sleep without a dream

that's where she finds you

that's where she finds you

 

Don't leave yourself alone for too many days

Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping

 

Dear we better get a drink in you

before you start to bore us

Dear we better get a drink in you

before you start to bore us

Dear we better get a drink in you

before you start to bore us

Glad you guys are diggin it already........

 

Because back when I first heard them it took a little time for me to truly love their stuff. Like I said, The National is a band that grows and grows on you with each listen. It's the painstaking little details in their songs that reel you in.

 

Here is the "Mistaken For Strangers" single from Boxer with two b-sides:

When observing a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick in slow motion, one finds that Chuck Norris actually rapes his victim in the ass, smokes a cigarette with Dennis Leary, and then roundhouse kicks them in the face.

Popmatters is calling The National's "Boxer" early candidate for album of the year:

Gotta love how pitchfork admits and owns up to "missing the boat" on 2005's Alligator multiple times. Seems like they are extremely regretting the fact they didn't "break them open" to the world. And it's almost like they still don't get 'em though. Classified under Best New Music:
