The Lemonheads – Bit Part Lyrics 8 years ago
The question is

does he want a bit part because he knows even asking for that is asking for a lot
or
because he wants a small role, i.e. responsibility?

The Jayhawks – Save It For A Rainy Day Lyrics 9 years ago
"Don't look so sad, Marina
There's another part to play"

A little girl is upset she didn't get the part in the school play. But the singer, with age and wisdom, recognizes how trivial the problem is.

There's too much sunshine to worry about the bs. Don't let the bad blind you from seeing the good.

Simon and Garfunkel – Old Friends Lyrics 10 years ago
"Sat on their parkbench like bookends"

"Sharing a parkbench quietly"

They're sharing a park bench, but they are sitting with a space between them (as bookends do). They're old friends, but time has dried up their conversation and they have nothing left to say.

The Everly Brothers – All I Have To Do Is Dream Lyrics 12 years ago
the speaker is either rejected or too scared to even approach the infatuated one. so he dreams to be with her.

"i can make you mine"
i picture he tells her his feelings, she rejects him. dreaming is a way he can make her his; being with her in a false reality.

or
"all i have to do is dream"
makes it sound like the singer is looking for the easiest way to be with her. perhaps he is scared out of his mind about rejection. is he saying why should i run the risk of telling her when i can simply be with her in my dreams? or is he afraid of being with her and and discovering the real her does not equate image of perfection he knows in his dreams. he rather keep the idea of her pristine than literally be with her and accepting who she truly is: imperfections and all.

"gee whiz, the only trouble is i'm dreaming my life away"
he has some ambivalence about this fantasy

Kanye West – Monster Lyrics 12 years ago
i interpret the song as a boast of immorality and being feared, almost saying "yea I'm bad, so what?"

"Now she claiming I bruised her esophagus
Head of the class and she just want a swallow-ship
I'm living the future so the presence is my past
My presence is a present, kiss my ass"

he's injuring her and his response is kiss my ass.

And yet there seems to be a theme of insecurity in "Monster". "Imma need to see your fucking hands at the concert" Kanye speaking about his hunger for approval and fame. and Jay-Z "Everybody wanna know what my Achilles heel is: Love I don't get enough of it"

you are right some women do like rough sex, however i do not think they enjoy it to the extent of "bruising her esophagus"

Sharon Van Etten – One Day Lyrics 13 years ago
Unlike the recording, sharon now sings "One Day" like this:

Sister don't mind that I'm not on time
she knows that i've been like that
sick of trying don't let mind
momma still love and daddy still love
they know that i've been like that
unlike mine: true and kind

Call me outside
and I will now be
and I'll be fine with that
don't leave me now
do you love me back?

Distance is fine
and all you can carry
nothing is big like that
don't see me now
you don't see me back

oh one day i'll be fine with that
don't leave me now
do you love me back?

Just to remind you
I'm a mistake
How come you don't want to know
You don't want to see
you don't want a show

Kicking myself
I know that you're tough
Yeah we can pretend we're that
Gotta see that
we can't be like that

oh one day i'll be fine with that
don't leave me now
do you love me back?

Snow is outside
but I'm by your fire
I feel all the love you bring
Y'gotta see how
we can see this out

Summer in mind
and spring by your side
we'll see all the love we'll keep
gotta see that
we can't be that

oh one day i'll be fine with that
don't leave me now
do you love me back?
don't leave me now
do you love me back?
don't leave me now
do you love me back?

Kanye West – Monster Lyrics 13 years ago
Love this song it is sick, HOWEVER i cannot help but cringe during

"I put the pussy in a sarcophagus
Now she claiming I bruised her esophagus"

it is grossly disrespectful to women-he is boasting that he penetrates so voraciously that it has a fatal outcome on the woman.

Vampire Weekend – Oxford Comma Lyrics 13 years ago
I think it's about his relationship with a pretentious girl who thinks she's of a higher class then him and more educated.
She's frustrated with his trouble to inarticulate, especially how he feels about her (Why would you speak to me that way/Especially when I always said that I/Haven't got the words for you). He is annoyed with her snootiness and criticisms of him.

As for the Lil' Jon reference. He's analogizing himself to lil' John; they both aren't eloquent with their words, but at least they tell the truth.
