Elliott Smith – King's Crossing Lyrics 21 years ago
it don't matter cuz i've no sex life
and all i wanna do now is inject my ex wife

one of the best couplets i've ever heard, reminds me of "it's alright ma." his lyrical ability was getting so profound... another good reason not to do it.

Elliott Smith – I Figured You Out Lyrics 21 years ago
These lyrics are a little off... either that or i have a different version. Anyway, here's what i've got.

i've seen you watching
her every time she crosses the floor
so why don't you just go and talk to
the one you really adore
i'm getting pretty used to being
the one you always ignore
when somebody wants you
i've seen it before

you're every kind of color
there ain't nothing that you won't claim
your ambition and promise
and your addiction to fame
and everyone's got a dollar
sign after their name
when somebody wants you
you treat 'em just the same

so go on and pick up
you don't care what poison you choose
and what person you lose
should've been me, yeah
shouldn't it be?

the crushing quiet
blows in through your window
to someone that wants you
that you'll never know
But I'll pick up around you
and clear everything out
leave you where i found you
i figured you out
leave you where i found you
I i figurered you out.

Elliott Smith – Ballad of Big Nothing Lyrics 21 years ago
while it's very likely that the much debated "up all night and down every day" lyric is about drugs, it could also just be about depression. Sleeping all day leads to insomnia... etc.
