Plainclothes Man
Heatmiser Lyrics

You're everybody's second home
Always trying to get me alone
An easy way to lose it all
Always there when all else fails
Over by the west side rails

But I don't really need that now
I never really did anyhow
I only really needed alcohol
Something that'd treat me okay

And wouldn't say the things you'd say

Please turn out the light
I get a sick confusion headache
Trying to figure out who's right

Dreaming on the silver strand
Waking up to plainclothes man
You little bastard, little boy in blue
Someone's gonna get to you
And fuck up everything you do

Some european son
He's serious with everyone
And he thinks he'll win you with his angry kiss
Acting like he has no needs
Wanting you to watch him bleed

Made for each other bet you pay me any mind
Just goes to show my continual decline
They say that I'll recover my love of her once in a while
But I don't know
I don't think so

There's something that I'll tell you now
Now that no one else is around
The sort of lesson that I learned from you
Not quite the way you planned
But I know you'll understand

Someone takes a photograph
A picture while their sweetheart laughs
A perfect moment in a flash of light
Counting back from three till one
That's exactly what you've done

And I'm so
Unsurprised
I remember, I remember why I dream in black and white
Goes to show my continual decline
They say that I'll recover
My love of her
Once in a while
But I don't know
I don't think so
I don't think so

Heatmiser was an alternative rock band that originated in Portland, Oregon in 1992. Consisting of Elliott Smith (guitar and vocals), Neil Gust (guitar and vocals), Brandt Peterson (bass; later to be replaced by Sam Coomes, frontman of Quasi), and Tony Lash (drums), they were known for their well-crafted lyrics and songs featuring melancholic and cheery words and melodies.

Consisting of Elliott Smith (guitar and vocals), Neil Gust (guitar and vocals), Brandt Peterson (bass; later to be replaced by Sam Coomes, frontman of Quasi), and Tony Lash (drums), they were known for their well-crafted lyrics and songs featuring melancholic and cheery words and melodies. The pop-oriented songs of Elliott Smith were a contrast to the darker songs of Gust, while both Smith and Gust's songs touched on subjects such as anger, alienation, loneliness and despair.

The band broke up in the fall of 1996 after Smith's solo work began gaining popularity. Gust went on to play in the band No. 2. Coomes carried on as half of Quasi, as well as playing as a guest musician for Built to Spill and Sleater-Kinney. Lash currently keeps himself busy as a producer. He helped with the production of Death Cab for Cutie's first two studio albums (Something About Airplanes and We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes).

Perfect song. I'm a black dude and I honestly appreciate your music. It's saved my life many times and made me appreciate the beauty in this fucked up world. I love and miss you Elliott. Thanks for making life more melodic!

@Nick Hartman I think the reason why is because people of color are stereotypically grouped into specific music genres. Black people are grouped into blues and hip hop, while hispanic people are grouped into banda and tejano music. He is just saying that despite stereotypes, he really enjoys this music and it has helped him a lot throughout the years. No need to get annoyed by it.

I was afraid Heatmiser wouldn't be any good compared to Elliott's solo work. Glad to be wrong.

metatheoretical

I'm from the Northwest and was there when Heatmiser was doing bar gigs. Everyone there always knew. Seems the rest of the country came along after "Miss Misery" was in that film those two bros wrote. Not sure how it would otherwise happen, but Heatmiser was a BFD in the NW.

@Jesus Gomez amateur or not, the stuff from Mic City Sons touches me in ways the rest of his work fails to do so

Stephen Rubin

You're welcome to dig what ya dig, obviously, but Elliott already had two solo records out before the release of Mic City Sons, which was followed by Either/Or by just four months. It's not as if Heatmiser was this early relic completely removed from his solo work and artistic ascent. For what it's worth, I'd rather listen to Plainclothes Man and Half Right most days over Speed Trials, at least. Memory Lane too.

Jesus Gomez

@Ozzymandias it's extremely ameuter. Let's not go out of hand his later songwriting definently blows his songwriting from heatmiser era by miles. Heatmiser elliot could have never written something like speedtrails or miss misery and stuff like junk bond trader and memory lane

Heatmiser was well before elliot smith went solo, I honestly think it's his best songwriting.

It breaks my heart to think that Elliott Smith will never be able to know what an everlasting impact his beautiful music has had and continues to have. Wherever you are, I just want to show you my gratitude for gifting us with your passion, emotions, talent and everything else that you put into your wonderful music. You've helped more than you could ever imagine. Thank you, Elliott ❤️

Most talented, well-rounded songwriter. Ever. I'm a massive Lennon fan, and Elliott, in terms of skill, dominates John in every category, except maybe vocals, John had a really incredible voice.

Yep, Elliott had the advantage of being able to learn from The Beatles, Jobim and others so it shouldn’t be a surprise that he was able to take the craft further. I agree on the voice being the one area where Lennon had the edge.

I remember getting handed Mic City Sons in the late 90's, and setting it aside... spinning it a few weeks later and being blown away - by this song in particular. It's a timeless song... and that is one of the best compliments any songwriter can get. Smith was a great one.

@K-DOGG yeah, of course it's a stretch. I was paraphrasing though so maybe I didn't articulate my point very well. I just meant the way society creates an image of someone to perpetuate the money machine and if you can't be that puppet doing it the way that people expect you to then you simply fall into mediocrity or die gracefully.

This is a little baffling to me. I became a rabid Elliott fan as soon as I heard his stuff on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack in 1998. And that discovery of his music absolutely, unalterably changed my life. This Heatmiser video is stamped with a big 'ol MTV2 mark, and I'd been an avid Alternative Nation/120 Minutes watcher during this entire period. So was I just not paying attention, or maybe this just slipped by me, because I sure as fuck would have been all over this track as every musical element that adheres me to him are right here in this song.

In the few times I've seen this video I never gave it much scrutiny. For whatever reason, this time I found myself scrutinizing it and am now aware that towards the end, Elliott is shoplifting in the liquor store. It really speaks volumes to me as to what kind of sense of humor Elliott possessed.

In youth we can remember a time when we were not fond of cops, and as allen ginsberg said, and it's probably the case here, elliot "inherited a little poetic paranoia." Paradox is those cops could have saved his life, maybe help give 'em the rude awakening he needed to stay off drugs and recover. More and more I am loving his music. His compositions, which is really what they are, will really insure him a cult following into perpetuity.

Seth, we are people constitutionally incapable of being honest with ourselves. We are like sick puppies. I don't read into the work of elliot and the Beats, as another example, the same way I did when I was in active addiction. I read them as attempts to maintain their sobriety.
