| The Mountain Goats – Up the Wolves Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Well according to John at a show : "I'm always trying to figure out what to say about this god *&@# song. Part of me wants to say look it's about revenge, but as soon as I say that... no, that's not quite it. Part of me wants to say it's about the satisfaction of not needing revenge... and i say no, that some new age stuff. I think it's a song about the moment in your quest for revenge when you learn to embrace the futility of it. The moment where you know the thing you want is ridiculous and pompous and a terrible thing to want anyway. The direction in which you're headed is not the direction you want to go, yet you're going to head that way a while longer cause that's just the kind of person you are." I love John's attempts to explain his songs :) |

| Lagwagon – Sleep Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
One of my favorite Lagwagon songs. To me, its about the madness the comes with touring and missing his anchor to reality(girlfriend). The end of the song is about wanting to settle down and find his version of sanity. The last line is missing... its' "Take you out to breakfast at night and then we'll go to sleep" |

| Lagwagon – Randal Gets Drunk Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure Randal is Joey's drunken alter ego. A short, but great song about what alcohol does to you. Lowering inhibitions and whatnot. |

| The Whitlams – You Sound Like Louis Burdett Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I love the "I'm stoned in a bookshop, sober in a nightclub. Sex is everywhere but nowhere 'round me" part. Always out of place. |

| Lagwagon – Defeat You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Correction : (i don't wanna forgive you but i wanted to start) is really (i don't wanna forgive you but I want a new start) To me it's a response to all the fucked up things that happen during the course of a friendship.... Being torn between your love and hate for an individual. |

| Mad Caddies – No Hope Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It is a song about beer and pot, the 2 drugs they refer to most in thier music. Its a song about how you just do the same thing every day and its hard to break the cycle. |

| Mad Caddies – 10 West Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
^ Also love this song man I think its kind of has a double meaning to it; On one side is about how everyday is the same thing and hes sick of being alone and on the road. The other side is about how its what hes ment to do "the musics part of my soul" and at the end hes kind of saying theres nothing else worth doing. |

| Ben Folds – Late Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Beautiful song, I heard him play it live. Its a tribute to Elliot Smith. | |
| Ben Folds – Songs Of Love (Divine Comedy cover) Lyrics | 20 years ago |

Corrections: I could live in uncertain regret Our roads ran parallel In a deffinate purpose to meet |
