She comes to me
Whenever I am locked inside my room
Buried in the tune that I call love
She sings to me, the words I cannot hear
But then, the melody's so clear it makes me cry
Her love is so beautiful
Her love is so real, it smells like glue
She's leaving me to find a place she never will call home
I stand shaking like a stone
And smile inside
She's calling me to come to her and curl inside her womb
I hear lies, acid too
But I won't die, the pain is so beautiful
The urge is so real, it smells like glue
And I will scream, she hears me
I will tell myself she loves me
And all the lies and fears
Will stick to me like glue
And I will scream, she hears me
I will tell myself she loves me
And all the lies and fears
Will stick to me like glue
Whenever I am locked inside my room
Buried in the tune that I call love
She sings to me, the words I cannot hear
But then, the melody's so clear it makes me cry
Her love is so beautiful
Her love is so real, it smells like glue
She's leaving me to find a place she never will call home
I stand shaking like a stone
And smile inside
She's calling me to come to her and curl inside her womb
I hear lies, acid too
But I won't die, the pain is so beautiful
The urge is so real, it smells like glue
And I will scream, she hears me
I will tell myself she loves me
And all the lies and fears
Will stick to me like glue
And I will scream, she hears me
I will tell myself she loves me
And all the lies and fears
Will stick to me like glue

Apologies, I haven't heard any of The Gerbils' stuff, but is that Scott Spillane singing with Jeff Mangum?
completely.
If you've ever just sat in your room and taken drugs byself all lonely like all night long, you'll immediately understand, love, and hate this song.
stanza 2: sings to him? perhaps this is her leaving him, if not verbally breaking up with him, then perhaps drifting away. he doesn't want to hear it, but he knows it's true and he's nostalgic.
stanza 3: perhaps his smiling inside points back to the fact that he knows she'll never find another home.
stanza 4: she calls him back, but he knows she's lying... maybe she's saying it because she's on an acid trip? who knows what was going on in the writer's head.
chorus: this pins the feelings of a heartbroken man pretty well, i think.
I was thinking that maybe the "smells like glue" could be either literal, e.g. the character in the song is sniffing glue. or perhaps, "smells like glue" means that he senses that her ove, and his urge for her, will be sticking to him for a long time, and won't be easy to shake.
i don't like defining a song because songs mean different things to different people. this one moves me sooo much, though, so i thought i'd throw my thoughts out there to get some conversation going about it. i encourage you to disagree with me.
also, if you don't have the NMH cover of this song, go to elephant six's website (google search) and it's under mp3's, NMH.
