| Dntel – (This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| is it evan dando (of the lemonheads) & chan marshall (of cat power)? | |
| Clem Snide – Mike Kalinsky Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| from the first time i heard this, i knew this was their best song, hands down. and i can't even explain why. i like how he crams all the words into the 'mike kalinsky spent high school alone in his bedroom listening to joy division and the misfits' line. | |
| Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! – Joe Jaxon Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
thanks for posting all these volcano lyrics, but i think it's 'i want a boy my own age'. 'get me a boy my own age'. |
|
| Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! – New Brad Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| stalkerish, yet fantastic. | |
| Brandtson – Grace Thinks I'm A Failure Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| the title of this song and 'potential getaway driver' are both references to bottle rocket, a film directed by wes anderson. | |
| Vermont – tiny white crosses Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| it's basically a slow deconstruction of the promise ring's 'make me a chevy'. | |
| Roadside Monument – o.j. simpson house auction Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| it's about the music industry. | |
| Roadside Monument – lobbyest Lyrics | 21 years ago |

| Roadside Monument – eight hours away from being a man Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| from drummer, matt johnson: "A lot of times song titles will come from things we've heard or quotes in books or whatever. Like 'Eight Hours Away From Being A Man' came from visiting a friend in California and our friend's dad is totally old school World War II Germany and he's totally an industrial worker and he worked in this factory for years and years and years and he's this really hard working class guy. And we were having this discussion about work and everything and he was asking everyone questions about what they did, if they were students or working or whatever and Doug said that he worked about 30 hours a week and went to school and he said 'well, you're not working enough. You need to work 40 hours a week.' So actually, Doug was working 32 hours a week and then when he left the room Doug said something to the effect of 'Well, I guess I'm just eight hours away from being a man'." | |
| Roadside Monument – compressor district Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
'compressor district' is named for a turn off exit in idaho on i-90. if this isn't my favorite roadside song, something else is. |
|
| Jawbreaker – Jet Black Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
in case you didn't know, the samples at the beginning and end of this song are from annie hall. they are spoken by christopher walken, who plays duane hall in the film. i think the samples go well with blake's lyrics. |
|
| Nick Drake – Been Smokin' Too Long Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i like this. | |
| Roadside Monument – lobbyest Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
puller does a good version of it, i think. [but i'm not going to let anyone else cover it.] |

| Roadside Monument – sperm ridden burden [aka 's.r.b.'] Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
a card that came with eight hours away from being a man says: ''sperm ridden burden' was written over a year ago, after seeing a beautiful young mother carrying her small baby. she looked so courageous... so alone... i wrote this song for her. later i realized... i was that small baby in my mother's arms years ago... she must have looked so courageous... we must have looked so alone... the cycle repeats... jonathon' |

ah, that's it. being down with mr. pacino is a good policy to keep. |
|
| Simon and Garfunkel – The Only Living Boy In New York Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i didn't know it was a message to art. i'd say this is my favorite s&g song. |
|
| Braid – Harrison Ford Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i'd like to know what this song is about and if harrison ford actually plays into it at all. on my radioshow, i played this back-to-back with vermont's 'arrest harrison ford!' cos i think it's weird to see two songs with harrison ford in the title. [it's safe to say that this is the dorkiest comment i've ever written.] |
|
| The Dismemberment Plan – Respect Is Due Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
this is, by far, my favorite d plan song. [it clocks in at around 12:35, by the way.] |
|
| Roadside Monument – egos the size of cathedrals Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i think the title is a reference to something al pacino says in the devil's advocate. | |
| Red House Painters – San Geronimo Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| downright amazing, this song. | |
| Finger Eleven – You Were Right Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| it's a cover of a built to spill song. | |
| Built to Spill – You Were Right Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| 'manic depression's a frustrating mess' is from jimi hendrix's 'manic depression'. | |
| Jets to Brazil – Disgrace Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i think 'i've got a satellite dish to tune me in my mind' is actually 'i've got a satellite dish to julienne my mind'. listen and see if that's what you hear. thanks for posting this. | |
| Damien Jurado – Sarah Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| this is the only song with my name in the title that i wholeheartedly endorse. | |
| Blindside – Superman Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i second that. | |
| Jets to Brazil – You're The One I Want Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
jtb likes '_______ and _______'. cookie crumbs & alcohol milk & apples sugar & light bulbs [finding more of these would be a good party game.] good song. i think the meaning is obvious. you can always refer to the title if you can't decipher the lyrics. |
|
| Jets to Brazil – Further North Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i like this one a lot and can relate to it. regardless of whether or not you're missing a significant other, i think everyone can relate to wanting to stay inside away from people. lyrically, i think this is along the same lines as 'i typed for miles'. perhaps not as bitter. |
|
| Jets to Brazil – Autumn Walker Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| o. and i hear 'more miles than my car's got on it' as opposed to 'for miles...on it'. | |
| Jets to Brazil – Autumn Walker Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
'make up your heart', indeed. i would say that this is my favorite song off the new album. & the album, as a whole, is pretty impressive. |
|
| The Promise Ring – Forget Me Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i had always noticed the 'daddy' allusions in this song [i.e. 'ach, du.' and 'i thought everyone was you.' = 'i thought every german was you.'], but i hadn't noticed the allusion in 'a broken tenor' until you pointed that out. tpr is my favorite band, but i definitely agree that the newer stuff lacks lyrically. | |
| Pedro the Lion – Backwoods Nation Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| yeh, this song is definitely amazing. i love david's sarcasm. | |
