      what gets me the most is the the bassline here varies slightly from the studio recording. that's how you know these people are good at their craft and care 100% about the music every performance, vs. those who don't bother to switch anything up and just play what they're supposed to

    I was 21 when I first heard tame Impala; I had been in a psychalogicaly abuse relationship for years isolated and controlled.. a young employee that I managed introduced me to Kevin and also psychadelics. . changed my life. First time I did acid, I listened to this song.. I cried... The words the beauty within. The music took over me. I am now 23 and out of that absusive relationship and I am now happier than ever.. this song hit me in a way like no other. . it forshadowed everything about my past relationship and helped me push away. For that, I say; I love you Kevin Parker. You have truly changed my life.

I didn't mind this track and Cause I'm A Man, but overall I got bored. If you liked it, that's cool. People can like whatever. But don't be surprised that people prefer different things. For me, this is way behind other Australian releases this year (i.e. Citizen Kay, Gang Of Youths, Tuka, City Calm Down)

      I wouldn't say they're "better" live, but I'd say they're DAMNED good live. I saw them this past summer and they far exceeded what I was expecting. A lot of music just isn't as good live as it is on the album-some bands just don't perform that well live. Tame Impala does.

    Someone said they left together
    I ran out the door to get her
    She was holding hands with Trevor
    Not the greatest feeling ever
    Said, "Pull yourself together
    You should try your luck with Heather"
    Then I heard they slept together
    Oh, the less I know the better
    The less I know the better
    [Chorus 1]
    Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side
    No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night
    Oh my love, can't you see a child on my mind
    Don't suppose we could convince your lover to change his mind
    So goodbye
    [Verse 2]
    She said, "It's not now or never
    Wait ten years, we'll be together"
    I said, "Better late than never
    Just don't make me wait forever"
    Don't make me wait forever
    Don't make me wait forever
    [Chorus 2]
    Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side?
    I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind
    [Outro]
    I was doing fine without ya
    'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase
    Giving in to all his bullshit
    Is this what you want, is this who you are?
    I was doing fine without ya
    'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine
    Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you
    Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"
    Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"
    Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

    "The Less I Know The Better"
    Someone said they left together
    I ran out the door to get her
    She was holding hands with Trevor
    Not the greatest feeling ever
    Said, "Pull yourself together
    You should try your luck with Heather"
    Then I heard they slept together
    Oh, the less I know the better
    The less I know the better
    Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side
    No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night
    Oh my love, can't you see that you're on my mind
    Don't suppose we could convince your lover to change his mind
    So goodbye
    She said, "It's not now or never
    Wait 10 years, we'll be together"
    I said, "Better late than never
    Just don't make me wait forever"
    Don't make me wait forever
    Don't make me wait forever
    Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side?
    I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind
    I was doing fine without ya
    'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase
    Giving in to all his bullshit
    Is this what you want, is this who you are?
    I was doing fine without ya
    'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine
    Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you
    Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"
