Modest Mouseis an American alternativeband. The band was formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washingtonby guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Greenand bassist Eric Judy. Since being signed to Sony's Epic Records in 2000, the band has attained significant popular success. Brock came up with the name "Modest Mouse" when he read the Virginia Woolfstream of consciousness essay The Mark On the Wallin which the author described the working middle class as "modest, mouse-coloured people." Brock frequently moved around with his mother when he was a child. Around this time, his mother left his father for his father's brother (Brock's uncle).

A Different City Lyrics
Modest Mouse
I want to live in the city with no friends or family
Im gonna look out the window of my color tv
I will remember to remember to forget you
Forgot me, Im gonna look out the window of my color tv
Through the cracks in the wall
Slow motion for all
Dripped out of the bar
So (sports? ) is nothing at all
Im watching tv
I guess thats a solution
They gave me a receipt that said I didnt buy nothing
So rust is a fire
And our blood oxidizes
My eyes roll around all around on the carpet
Oh hit the deck
Its the decal man
Standing upside down and talking out of his pants
Through the cracks in the wall
Slow motion for all
Left holding the ball and a part for your car
