| The Shins – Bait and Switch Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This is what I hear folks, some places I'm not sure about. I finally had all my ducks in a row Peace and quiet by means of subtraction And how she got in? I mean shouldn’t I know? We’re two weeks on and my spine was in traction My eyes in a basket My gut and my heart are so out of phase And that kind of girl She ain’t nobody’s daughter I’m just not use to these powerful waves She shined on the brass and I’m taking on water What am I to do now? I call on a beautiful wish with a moral compass Bait and switch High from my psychic derailing Drive this car to the sea Spend the night as high as I can in a towering hemlock But it’s no use; it can always be found (?) A creature of habit has no real protection I tell her I’ll leave if she don’t settle down She’s easy to lie on closer inspection (?) Like everyone else does Then running a terrible charm Hold it smoking my eyes I’m just a simple man Cursed with an honest heart Why’d you go and tear it all apart? Then running a terrible charm (?) Hold it smoking my eyes (?) I’m just a simple man Cursed with an honest heart Why’d you go and tear it all apart? |

| Iron & Wine – Me and Lazarus Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Correct lyrics: Me and Lazarus, we shovel all the ashes out Black bare linens blowing 'round Back and forth and up and down oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go Me and Lazarus kept bailing on the riverboat Floating by the choir rose Bobbing in the ebb and flow oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go He's an emancipated punk and he can dance But he's got a hole in the pocket of his pants Must be a symptom of outstanding circumstances Woah Me and Lazarus, we fiddle with a baby spoon Fever flowing through the room Far too long and way too soon oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go Me and Lazarus, we pick up papa's white boy blues Hand-me downs and Sunday shoes Never made the local news oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go And I'm a liberated loser that can roll But where my pocket was I'm peeking through a hole A couple second-chances surely would console me Woah |

| Iron & Wine – Godless Brother in Love Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Godless brother in love You might as well Lay down that rose And fold the flag She is money and tabs That broken freedom bell See her big children burning rags By the riverside And you can hear them on the hilltop laughing Cursing every bird in the air Telling her what fun they're having Driving eyes closed Godless brother As far as I can tell The night won't compensate the blind She looks lovely As lightning Aw, but what the hell? Her big kids all run down the road With no memories at all And you can hear them on the hilltop laughing Cursing every bird in the air Telling her what fun they're having Driving eyes closed This is the most beautiful song. |

| Sufjan Stevens – I Want to Be Well Lyrics | 13 years ago |

the real lyrics: To think that I would die this time Isolated in the room where the bed rises Photographic ordinary people are everywhere Extraordinary histories, ordinary histories, ordinary histories I'll find sleep, I'll find peace, or in death you'll sleep with me. To figure that it was my fault Or so I've come to realize life is not about Love with someone - (ordinary people are everywhere) Extraordinary people are, ordinary people are, ordinary people are Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn, illness is watching, waiting its turn. Did I go at it wrong? Did I go intentionally to destroy me? I'm suffering in noise I'm suffering in - (touching ordinary body) The burning from within the burning from with - (ordinary is scary now) I could not be at rest, I could not be at peace - (extraordinary is scary now) So do yourself a good, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes Or do yourself a favor, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes Illness likes to prey upon the lonely, prey upon the lonely When it bites, oh, I would rather be dead, I would rather give up. I want to be well, I want to be well, I want to be well, I want to be well. And I forgive you even As you choke me that way With the pill or demon and the shrouding Under conversation In tremendous weight of A crowd of ages outside Dressed for murder I'm not fucking around I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around And shall I kiss you even as you take me that way? With the pill or demon as my body changes Apparitions gone awry They surround me, all sides From what am I seeing, only changes I'm not fucking around I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around |

I actually spoke to Bradford Cox directly about this song. Last night he had this webcam chat where you could ask him questions one-on-one via webcam. It was absolutely amazing. My question regarded how "Helicopter" came about, and he told me that he was reading a story about some specific and tragic event that some German had to endure. He told me that the story resonated with him so much that he actually felt what this person was going through, so he wrote this song and the lyrics as a representation of how it would have been if he had experienced it. He didn't go into details about what that tragic event was though. |

These lyrics are so wrong it isn't even funny. The beginning is "Summer sent her running through the weather at her mother for the feeling that I lost today Summer sent her running for the feeling that I lost today Summer sent her running through the weather at her mother for the feeling that I lost today Summer sent her running for the feeling that I lost today You must be somewhere in London You must be loving your life in the rain You must be somewhere in London" The rest of the lyrics is radically different too. |

Snow Sheep - The worst part about your post is that you went off on some weird tangent for absolutely no reason. How can you let something posted on the internet get you that upset? Your post actually disgusts me and that doesn't help you get your point across at all. |

| Sufjan Stevens – Holland Lyrics | 17 years ago |

A very beautiful song. "All the time we spent in bed Counting miles before we set Fall in love and fall apart Things will end before they start" Him and his lover are lying in bed talking about their future, and where they will end up. It's the organic feeling of complete relaxation. When you are lying there with your partner you have no worries on your mind whatsoever. You can transcend through time and space without the worries of everyday. So it that situation, you two profess your undying love to eachother and remark on the beautiful future you both want. The last two lines mean that before they ever get around to accomplishing their "perfect" dreams trouble will rear it's ugly head. "Sleeping on Lake Michigan Factories and marching bands Lose our clothes in summer time Lose ourselves to lose our minds In the summer heat, I might" The most important lines here are "Lose ourselves to lose our minds, In the summer heat, I might." It tells us that even though they accept that their future may not be the paradise they wish they still go on and pretend anyways. Thus they are losing their minds. But they don't care. Because they love each other. Brilliant Song. |

This song is infectious, I got it from a friend and I listened to it the first time and wasn't impressed. And then out of nowhere I had a fever for hearing "We formed a band." So I had to hear it again, then I had to know the lyrics. This is the only song of theirs I have heard, but it's really good, I need to hear their other stuff. |

Why are the lyrics so wrong? I mean this song is pretty easy to hear- Here are the right lyrics - You see the world in black and white No color or light You think you'll never get it right But you're wrong, you might The sky could fall, could fall on me The parting of the seas But you mean more, mean more to me Than any color I can see All you ever wanted was love But you never looked hard enough It's never gonna given itself up All you ever wanted to be Living in perfect symmetry Nothing is as down or as up As us You see the world in black and white Not painted right You see no meaning to your life You should try You should try And all you ever wanted was love But you never looked hard enough It's never gonna given itself up All you ever wanted to be Living in perfect symmetry Nothing is as down or as up In case you wanna see it, come soon Floating in a big white balloon Or given on your own silver spoon In case you wanna see it, come down Theres for throwing your arms around Say it not a moment too soon Cause I feel low Cause I feel low, oh Yeah I feel low, oh no Oh Oh Cause I feel low Cause I feel low, oh Yeah I feel low, oh no Oh |

This is officially from Tim himself. "TITLT is indeed a confusing song, which is actually something i regret, but the meaning is hard to explain quickly and simply. here's my attempt. it's mainly about regret. i was thinking about how you can have a huge amount of affection for someone and yet not have that magic spark that makes you feel like you're in love. whenever i hear the song i feel it's a snapshot of the moment of two people saying their goodbyes...i can actually see them stood facing each other. what a rotten moment that is eh. anyway so you have a bond with someone but you don't want to stay with them forever. so you decide to go. but you're not saying 'i hate you and i'm leaving'...you're trying to say 'i think you're great but i've seen that there's something more perfect and magical out there for me and i need to find it. but i will always be your friend if you need me.' does that make sense? so the bridge ('something i wasn't sure of...etc') is about the sense that there's something more magical to be found. making that decision to leave something comfortable to search for something perfect is difficult, so the alternating lines of the chorus are almost a debate going on in your head...you're saying 'this is the last time we'll share these intimate moments, time will make things better, and of course you can turn to me whenever you want to, i don't mind.' if you split the chorus into two parts using alternate lines it makes sense! i guess the feeling of conflict within yourself and the difficulty of making that decision is what the song is really about. it's not sarcastic or anything but it is certainly confusing. sorry! i like trying to write about confusion and grey areas because life is not normally very clear-cut and simple, especially when it comes to the way people interact. hence the album's title. how many songs are there at the moment about how you're not good enough for me so **** you? the eamonn/frankee nonsense being an obvious example but look at any number of recent hits. how often is life really that simple? i guess that's why 'dry your eyes' was such a popular song...it talks about the confusion and mess of breaking up, and that's a reality that people recognise." - Tim - messageboard - Source |
