Joanna Newsom – Peach, Plum, Pear Lyrics 19 years ago
i've edited it, should have been "bolt" not "belt".. i think the lyrics sheet may be wrong because it sounds to me like she says bolt, and horses bolting fits. it also fits to be "horse" and not "whores" because she says "galloping" and "riding its back"

Bright Eyes – Hit the Switch Lyrics 19 years ago
correction on the first verse--

i'm staring out into that vacuum again
from the back porch of my mind
the only thing that's alive
i'm all there is
and i start attacking my vodka
stab the ice with a straw
my eyes have turned red as stoplights
you seem ready to walk
you know i'll call you eventually
when i wanna talk
till then you're invisible

Bright Eyes – Gold Mine Gutted Lyrics 19 years ago
it was don delillo, whiskey, me,
and a blinking midnight clock
speakers on a tv stand, just a turntable to watch
when the smoke came out our mouths
on all those hooded sweatshirt walks
you were a stroke of luck
we were a goldmine and they gutted us

and from the sidelines
you see me run
until i’m out of breath
living the good life
i left for dead
the sorrowful midwest
well i did my best
to keep my head

it was grass stained jeans and incompletes
and a girl from class to touch
but you think about yourself too much
and you ruin who you love
well all these claims at consciousness
my stray dog freedom
let’s have a nice clean cut
like a bag we buy and divvy up

and from the sidelines
i see you run
until you're out of breath.
and all those white lines that sped us up
we hurry to our death
well i lagged behind
so you got ahead

Rilo Kiley – Love and War (11/11/46) Lyrics 19 years ago
few corrections--

and then carried him to a darkened hospital room
AND SAID 'NO MODERN PERSON HERE REMEMBERS YOU'

you get what you deserve
you'd better SPEND it well
all is fair in love and war and love
a civil WAR like this it always sells itself"

Kind of Like Spitting – Dodge Dart Lyrics 20 years ago
"there's no accounting for taste, i guess" she said
"since you mirror everyone that you ever met"
"don't worry, i'll see you soon" and i believed you
since then i haven't seen you
but in better times, you were a friend of mine
you were the one who said, "i don't mind"

from my house to the bus stop, i see a dodge dart
fall off it gets scary in the heart again
well i didn't choose this, class was the culprit
pissed off that we blew it
and my best behaviors, to be my behaviors
next time you lay eyes on me
i don't wanna try, i don't wanna try
some things should come naturally
but if they don't
you just can't force them
cause if they won't
you just can't force them

(thrusting on the ???)
your foot down on the gas
never looking back, you are the lucky one
indifferent like a free way, stuck within a freeze frame
five by seven nightmare
and youth for the lucky ones
everywhere i go you've colored

please leave the car in the morning
i feel old, i get ugly when you're sad
afraid i'd lost the best i've ever had
i'm placing the 'x' on you
i really wish i didn't have to
the kids outside the south
break bottles in the gutter

Brand New – Mix Tape Lyrics 22 years ago
well.. i'm not sure the exact details on the controversy.. but Taking Back Sunday's last song at the Palladium in Worcester, MA on August 18th, was Seventy Times 7.. they had the singer come out and sing it and everything.. so I would say a fued is highly unlikely.

Kind of Like Spitting – Blue Period Lyrics 22 years ago
I don't think about committing suicide ever.. so quite obviously not everyone does. I also believe suicide in this song is not literal "it's just LIKE suicide" .. the end of the relationship.. "the choice ain't mine".. he's talking all about endings and suicide is one of them..

Dispatch – The General Lyrics 22 years ago
the jesus allusion is an interesting thought but I have some problems with it such as:

"take a shower, shine your shoes" .. that definitely sounds post-jesus era to me. "guns on their shoulders" is also post jesus-time (unless you ask the director of "Jesus Christ Superstar")

the medals of bravery and stripes to his name also sticks out as being distinctly unjesus (Did I just say unjesus?)

As to what I know of Jesus (I'm not religious so my knowledge is limited), didn't he stand up for believe in but not "fight". I wouldn't completely discount a religious air about the song, but a direct allusion I definitely see as a stretch.

Cake – Friend Is A Four Letter Word Lyrics 22 years ago
I had originally thought that this word was a negative end to a friendship.. and that the singer was talking about a friendship that no longer had meaning to him. I asked a friend of mine what he meant by four letter word and he said "I end" but that's two words.. and so he alluded it to swears.. however.. on taking a closer look and thinking about it.. to me it reveals itself to be about love (which conveniently happens to be a four-letter word). The "When I go fishing..." stanza tips off that he wants "his friend" to say something besides friend.. and that whenever she calls him a friend.. he just wants to friendship to end so the "love" can begin.. that way the song makes perfect sense to me.. but is almost completely the opposite from what I originally thought.
Great song..

Custom – Hey Mister Lyrics 22 years ago
fun, funny song. About a guy explaining to a man that he's well *wink wink* *nudge nudge* with his daugher and all that..and then eventually he explains that he never wants to have a daugher because someone would do the same to him. I can't stop listening to this song, it's great..

System of a Down – Shimmy Lyrics 22 years ago
