mewithoutYou – Dorothy Lyrics 10 years ago
There is no way this is what he says

"Then last night I was in Maryland
With the singing and praying band
Joining in "Satan Get Behind Me"
With ironic faithfulness
And a man looked almost exactly like Elliot
And Satan turned to me, "Have you thought much about that cry?""

I think it's pretty clearly:
"Then last night I somewhere near Virginia
Rebuking Satan
With ironic faithfulness
The Satan turned to me, "Have you thought much about that cry?""

Van Der Graaf Generator – Nutter Alert Lyrics 16 years ago
Those are the lyrics for Every Bloody Emperor.

These are the correct lyrics for this song:

It might come in a letter,
Darkness falls in a telephone call;
I await the unexpected
With one ear to the party wall.
Is it the pricking of the conscience,
Is it the itching of hair shirt,
Is it the dictionary definition
Of a precipice to skirt?
It's the nutter alert.

Though this face is familiar
Something in it has bred contempt;
I never asked for your opinion
Or your back-handed compliments.
Oh, but here comes that special nonsense
All the words out in a spurt,
The unhinging of the trolley
As the mouth begins to blurt...
It's the nutter alert

I can see we're in trouble
From that glint in the eye you've got;
There's no sense to the story,
Comprehensively lost, the plot.
And how contorted is that logic
You so forcefully exert:
You're a car crash in the making,
Head-on, that's a racing cert.
It's the nutter alert,
This is the nutter alert.

Portugal. The Man – Intermission Lyrics 16 years ago
What do they mean by "la la, la la la"? Is it protest?

Sleater-Kinney – Entertain Lyrics 17 years ago
I think jeffeljefe has hit it when he says this song is a dig at garage rock revival bands a la White Stripes. They're criticizing them because they don't add anything new, they're just stuck in retro mode. Music should be looking forward, not backward.

Jens Lekman – When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog Lyrics 17 years ago
Notice the plug to Sipping on the Sweet Nectar. There he says "So I called up Lisa/'Cus she's my only friend". This one is probably addressed to her too, though who knows.

I realize there may be no actual Lisa, but even if she doesn't exist in real life, she has a literary existence for all us Jens Lekman fans.

The Coral – Careless Hands Lyrics 17 years ago
I think where you have "Any chance to get the (?) down, " is "Any chance they get they'll put you down, " but I may be wrong.
Anyway, I think the meaning is fairly obvious, I agree with the two above posters. Good song.

The Tears – Apollo 13 Lyrics 20 years ago
I'm not sure if she really died, but this is cleary a love between two people of different social classes.

The Tears – The Ghost Of You Lyrics 20 years ago
I think the gil simply left him, and the ghost is more of a metaphorical one, like he's trying to erase all of the things that marked her presence in his life, but even then he still can't bring himself to forget her.

Of course he can. He's one of those guys who think every song is about drugs, and will say anything to make others believe that.

Stratovarius – Hunting High And Low Lyrics 21 years ago
