Counting Crows – Accidentally In Love Lyrics 21 years ago
so what if this song is different to the stuff they usually put out! Hey, we'd get a little bored if they put out the same stuff over and over again. This is an awesome song and the crows are the greatest band ever.

Busted – Crash and Burn Lyrics 21 years ago
I hate Busted! But of course I'm jealous of them! They have shit loads of fans and money and have absolutely no talent. It's sick

Fountains of Wayne – Stacy's Mom Lyrics 21 years ago
this is a good song, but not one of their best. It's a shame that people will remember them for this and not Amity Gardens or Fine Day For A Parade.

Suzanne Vega – Gypsy Lyrics 21 years ago
it's quite a simple song with incredibly good lyrics, basically just a love song. girls falls for traveler but doesn't want a real relationship.

"please do not ever look for me,
but with me you'll stay"

Crash Test Dummies – Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Lyrics 21 years ago
dont agree with mrsbananaboat because of the alternate verse mentioned by perth -

"there was a kid named scot bell,
who wanted to bring his tonsils in a jar for show and tell,
but when he went to get them
his mom had thrown them out in the garbage"

that kind of goes against the embarassment thing, along with the abus thing. I think this song is just about bad things happening to kids, but it's phrased very complicated-ly (if that's a word) and with brilliant lyrics. Fantastic song. fantastic band.

Nickel Creek – Sweet Afton Lyrics 21 years ago
A beautiful song, but JessiL, Mary is dead. I saw them live and Chris Thile was laughing about it cos he wasnt too sure when he wrote the melody, hence why he wrote it in a major key. Burns is contrasting the death of Mary with the flow of the river being a metaphor for the passage of time.

Counting Crows – If I Could Give All My Love (Richard Manuel Is Dead) Lyrics 21 years ago
I think this is about Adam learning the value and fragility of life, and him wanting to take every moment by the throat - "ive been wandering through the dark, and now i'm standing on the lawn"

Counting Crows – Mr. Jones Lyrics 21 years ago
ARGH! NO NO NO! This song is not about his penis!!! It's about Adam's dreams, perhaps a dream he had or him wanting to become a big star, illustrated by the line "we all wana be big stars" :-P My biggest clue came when I heard the live version, where at the beginning he says "this song is about my dreams". The people who think this song is about his penis are the same people who think Bob Dylan's I Want You is about drugs.

Counting Crows – Four White Stallions (Tender Mercies cover) Lyrics 21 years ago
four white stallions is actually a classic songwriting metaphor for being horny, so, controversial as my viewpoint may seem, I think this may be about a "woman of the night" who the character is in love with, but hates it.

Counting Crows – Mrs. Potter's Lullaby Lyrics 21 years ago
This song is about Adam wanting to dream about changing his life around, and meeting mrs.potter. The line "i dream i never know anyone at the parties, and i'm always the host" shows the falseness of the hollywood community. Wonderful song.

Counting Crows – I Wish I Was A Girl Lyrics 21 years ago
Ok, I am such a huuuuuge counting crows fan and all these song explanations seem pretty accurate for a song I didn't quite understand. One question, Adam uses two women in all his songs, Elizabeth and Maria. Does anyone know why?

R.E.M. – Daysleeper Lyrics 21 years ago
I think this song is about someone who is tired of life, and the over industrialization of it all, cleverly set in a wall street stock market or something to that effect. Amazing song

R.E.M. – Everybody Hurts Lyrics 21 years ago
What an amazing song! But it soooo pisses me off when idiots put it on a "love hurts" album!?!?! Kids committing suicide doesn't really make me think of being dumped. Michael Stipe is a fantastic lyricist
