Lyrics for She Sends Kisses as interpreted by Jawbreaker4Fs

She Sends Kisses Lyrics
Ten tons against me and you've gone
I put your favorite records on
And sit around
It spins around
And you're around again
Struck dumb while drugs run at how high reeds
Cue every memory at half-speeds
Just like . . . Charles, hold-me-downs
I'm coming sounds
Cut crap, who's filling shoes like these anymore?
Past clumsy crushes beneath Thrill Pier
Hopes pinned to poses honed in men's room mirrors
A sophomore at Brown
She worked Lost and Found
I put your face on her all year
From five rows of photos when you wrote
Of posed you, dressed blue, in a backyard boat
Signed at the bottom with this quote:
(#4 North Shore) a Cape May address
Your new one I guess
'All's well in hell and here's hoping'
She sends kisses
Some signed 'with Love, Beth oooooo xxxxxx'
She sends kisses
Same old Beth
Some signed 666
Our shore town knockdown sure

was fun
yeah, white trash, what have you
I fired replies back gun by gun
past Seven Wrecks I read your four answers: 1. your move 2. I'm tres involved 3. move on 4. love, Beth
I walk it down
this tourist town
'just thought I'd' calls
just friends
she sends kisses
and all at once back doors blow open
she sends.... in envelopes stamped w/ 'Hope & Hearts' - ripped right open
she sends...
but I'm corrupt - I wrote back good luck

definately the best wrens song. so great. love every part of it. not a lot of people get the irony in it, yet if it's not taken that way it's beautiful. absolutely love this song. one of my favourite songs ever.

yeah, i like the narrative between this and ex-girl collection, and i like how charles writes in references to beth, with the hyphenated words:

"Charles, hold-me-downs"
" 'I'm-coming' sounds"
" 'just thought I'd' calls"
and then in ex-girl collection:
"she pours herself a don't-ask gin"
"I think it's tell-me time..."

i don't know what to call it, but its the most brilliant instrument of lyric writing i've ever seen.

i think i've listened to this song more than i've ever listened to any other song in my life. it's so amazingly complex and beautiful. i especially like the way the music climaxes around "hope and hearts ripped right open." song writing at it's best.

I agree with Snevik 100%, the hyphenated lyrics stand out as some of my favorites in the two songs. "Charles, hold-me-downs" astounded me when I finally figured out that those were the words.

What's the ten tons a reference to?

"ten tons" is a reference to the 'body high' weed he is probably smoking. i can definitely relate. he even sounds high when he sings--elongated enunciation, uncomfortably emotional vocal tones--so i'm pretty sure this whole lyrical song is just a super stoned writer feeling nostalgic about (seemingly) not too long ago when he was in love. it's one of those distinctly profound thought tangents ensuing a fat bong rip.
