| Bombay Bicycle Club – Autumn Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"But I can turn on past" should be "But I can't turn my back" Then, before "Every feeling waiting to escape," he says "And every word I try to say to you, I never say at the right time in the right way" |

It's worth noting that this song is a cover. PUSA didn't write it, some guy named Ian Hunter did. However PUSA's rendition is much better. Also, that's Drew Carey at the beginning of the song saying "hey." |

| The Presidents of the United States of America – Mach 5 Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The video for this song is absolutely excellent. I'm pretty sure it's about a toy car as opposed to a drivable one. The video shows them being rockstars, but ends with them just fantasizing about being rockstars. In the same way I think this song is about fantasizing about owning a racecar. | |
| Morningwood – Take Off Your Clothes Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I want to take off my clothes when I hear this song. | |
| The Rentals – Friends of P. Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I'm not going to deny that Paulina Porizkova is P, but the psychic angle is much more evident to those not so sharp on Matt's history (ha). "Somebody's fame and fortune is gonna come to me early, I've got two loves in my life and I'm dying at 90" Seems that prediction was incorrect. He's not that famous and nobody loves him. |

| Big Head Todd and the Monsters – Please Don't Tell Her Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| He's in love with her, but he doesn't want you to tell her. Heck, I don't even know who she is. Todd shouldn't be so concerned. In fact, if I was this girl then I'd probably be tipped off after hearing this song. I mean, who does he know that doesn't know he's in a band? OR, maybe that's the whole point... to tip of the girl without coming out and saying it so that she makes the first move... | |
| Reverend Horton Heat – Couch Surfin' Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song annoys me so much, and I'm positive it's because of the song meaning and nothing else. It's about a guy who's free-loading and sleeping on a friends couch instead of getting a job and his own place to live. It's funny because Jimbo has said in one of his other songs that "[he] can't surf," but obviously he knows how to couch surf. Another song with the same subject matter: "Sleepin' on my Couch" by Del Tha Funky Homosapien |

| Beulah – Don't Forget to Breathe Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
yeah, Fiona, you've got it. Except I really think that instead of letting them break-up, instead of confronting her about it, he just leaves. It reminds me of a friend of mine actually. Something that happened to him in middle school (and at 23 he still remembers)... He was dating a girl, but she cheated on him with a friend and when he confronted her on it she apologized and said she "didn't realize they were that serious" and that it "wouldn't happen again" but it did, with a different friend. So this time instead of going to her he went to his friend and told him to back off. Well, this got back to the girl, who, ever so rationally, called my friend out in the middle of a crowded hall yelling, "What did I ever do to you?" Then, instead of yelling back "Are you f***ing serious?" he just stared her in the eye for a moment then turned his back and never spoke to her again. They had a class together and all year she tried to get his attention; I dunno, apologize or something, but he never spoke to her again or even gave her eye contact no matter what their proximity. So yeah, necessary heart break. Because having your heart broken is better than having it ripped out completely... which is what would've happened in the case of the song (I personally believe). How can so few people be commenting on this song? It's so completely beautiful? |

| Watashi-Wa – Ship Up Or Shape Out Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| If you're lucky, you have the version of the song released on "Nothing Says I Love You Like Punk Rock, Vol. 1." It starts with a quote that always makes me laugh. It's just some kid (who you can tell is crying) saying, "I don't have any friends. I've never kissed a girl." I know it should be sad, but I crack up every time. | |
| Watashi-Wa – Mule Days Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"It's funny how time can change so much but can't change everything." The more things change, the more they stay the same. And even though we grow so far apart, it's evident from where we were how we could make the decisions and changes in our lives that pull us apart, though somehow it's always a surprise. This is my favorite Watashi Wa song. |

| Cibo Matto – Moonchild Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Did Miho Hatori really say that? Because when I had a friend listen to this song he insisted it was a cover. Since he knew the lyrics before hearing the song, I've always believed him. Though, I don't believe that Miho would lie either... Maybe tortoise lies... or maybe it's just a borrowed chorus? Wait! Why don't I just look at the album? It's in the next room *searches* Okay, not a cover. Definitely written by Hatori and Honda. |

Who cares? I don't care! A horse's ass is better than this song. Okay, this song is better. I actually enjoy this song; mosty singing along... Who cares? I don't care! A horses's ass is better than yours! |

| Pixies – Debaser Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Everybody's hitting the nail on the head here EXCEPT it's always been my impression that "Girlie so Groovy" referred to the part of the film where the man is wearing drag (the nurse uniform). | |
| Butthole Surfers – Tongue Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"Hold on to something, That will hold on to you" is the correct lyric, ya'll. I'm making all of this story up but... This song is about the fun times he had at summer camp. The camp was sort of divided naturally by the tree-line and the two sides were referred to as the cowboys and the indians. The only person he would go on to keep in contact with was hot little squa (sp?) by the name of Ellen. They would eventually date in a long-distance thing in high school before they got togehter in college where the Butthole Surfers eventually became famous for perfoming nude. |

| Butthole Surfers – TV Star Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Christina, I'm almost positive, is Christina Applegate. But for the life of me I don't know who Ellen is. Unless Ellen isn't a TV star and just a girl that he liked better than Christina Applegate. | |

| Grandaddy – El Caminos in the West Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Have none of you seen the "El Caminos in the West"? This artist took a bunch of El Caminos and half burried them in the dirt at a 60 degree angle. Sort of like Stonehenge. By the way, this has to be my favorite music video. Little girls trying for "World Rock Domination." Little girls with beards trashing hotel rooms. Little girls drinking (root)beers and smoking (candy)cigarettes. Ha! Priceless! |

| The Velvet Teen – Naked Girl Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is seriously one of the greatest songs of all time. And, excuse my dorkiness, but I always picture Link, from The Legend of Zelda, fighting stuff when I hear this song. However, it's specifically the Link from the animated series... always trying to get a kiss from princess Zelda. He's got such an endearing love for her than never falters even though she never really gives him reason to believe that she'll ever accept him as a lover... though she desperately needs him as a saviour. That's what this song is to me. I'm pretty sure that's not what it was written about, but that's what it means to me. |

| The Pillows – Back Seat Dog Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
While I don't know what he's saying, this song is SUCH a Pixies tribute. If you can't listen to the song and hear it just in the music, then pay close attention to the lyrics as the song fades out. He clearly says "Here Comes Your Man." ...which is the song that Back Seat Dog is modeled after. I'm in no way trying to diss The Pillows. They're brilliant, but the added fact that they didn't just cover a song, but instead, expanded on it is incredilbe. (It might be a different story if they didn't pay tribute at the end with the "here comes your man" lines) I can't stand J-Pop, but I'm completely infatuated with The Pillows. |

| Huffamoose – Wait Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Yeah, it's about sex, but it's about how beautiful making love (yes, sex) can be. Her whole physical being is beautiful and marvelous to him. Comparing her to a figure skater shows that she is skilled, but mainly, to me, it shows how elegant she is (in bed, but probably otherwise too). Love this song. |

| Project 86 – Set Me Up Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Aw. I always thought he was saying "I wanna feel you rejecting me!" which was so much better because it was like him saying, "bring it on, b****es!" Why is it, when you've got the lyrics wrong in your head, the correct lyrics are never as good when you're finally told them? |

| Archers of Loaf – Learo, You're A Hole Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this is what's being said in those blanks. "Like a fattened patch of fuss,"? "Took a long word, to kill the situation, guns are a toy, and the noise destroys, Nothing stands out in arrested seperations, nothing stands out when your mouth is spoiled"? |
|
| Archers of Loaf – Backwash (Peel Session) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is one of my favorite songs to sing along to. Man, all of these songs are open to interpretation, but when I think of this song, I think of the movie "Heathers." Just something about drinking the drain-o and especially the line "to will something worse for another is custom for you" reminds me of Heather, Heather (the one that drank the drain-o). |
