Tokyo Police Club – Cheer It On Lyrics 19 years ago
"Do your neighbour a favour.
Collect their morning paper
And clip out all the sad bits, no one wants to read that.
Let them take their kids to school and the zoo in peace."

this is an amazing image, and what a way to kick off a stellar EP

Sunset Rubdown – Shut Up I Am Dreaming of Places Where Lovers Have Wings Lyrics 19 years ago
there's not much to decompress here; it's just a beautiful song, with beautifully simple lyrics.

one note: i think the "yo ho! the distant shore" part listed above is actually "you're on a distant shore".

Broken Social Scene – Swimmers Lyrics 20 years ago
the sexual connotation is definitely there, but it's not the whole of it. the lyrics are pretty literal, not much to guess at. beautiful song.

Weezer – Lullaby For Wayne Lyrics 20 years ago
low mileage wife is correct, part of the american dream as envisioned by this song as well as a clever play on words: "brand new car" with a "low mileage wife".

The Velvet Teen – Chimera Obscurant Lyrics 21 years ago
this is a beautiful epic, a perfect song, and if it were the only song on elysium, it'd make elysium worth buying. but it isn't, and so elysium is a great record for more than just one reason, but oh what a singular reason this song could be. it is representative of struggle, struggles with religion and modern culture and its varied effects on family, faith, love, and life in general, but that's merely a one-sentence superficial take on it.

Ozma – Eponine Lyrics 21 years ago
this song is simply amazing when played live in a small venue. when slegr, brummel, and galvez are screaming out at the top of their lungs and the crowd is doing the same thing -- "whoa oh my eponine..."

The Good Life – Tell Shipwreck I'm Sorry Lyrics 21 years ago
the "breaker breaker" chorus:

breaker breaker
come in come in
standing water everywhere
we need direction
a location
a north star to navigate us
breaker breaker
come in come in
transmission's breaking up
it's breaking up
