| MC Lars – Hot Topic Is NOT Punk Rock Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Mc Lars is not punk rock... My friend who works at Hot Topic and loves his job sent me this song. He agrees with it, actually. I do too, to a degree, but it's all bullshit really (granted, I honestly cannot remember the last time I was in Hot Topic). The shit he claims is "punk rock" is really more about the love of music than anything else. I like all kinds of music, but in general I tend to listen to more "indie" than anything else and I still love to support my local scene. There's so much pride and the crowd is always better and I'd probably give up money for food if I good band was playing. Starting your own label is more about loving music and wanting to help bands you want to see go far get their music out there. I'll give him G.G. Allin, though. Haha. |

| Regina Spektor – Ghost of Corporate Future Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love this song. I love Regina. It's like, it's not about misary, and it's not some overly happy song. It falls somewhere in between all that. And I think it captures life pretty well. | |
| Sleater-Kinney – Entertain Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
the actual lyrics (from the CD insert): So you want to be entertained? Please look away We're not here 'cause we want to entertain Please go away (don't go away) Reality is the new fiction, they say Truth is truer in these days, truth is man-made If you're here cause you want to be entertained Please go away If you're heart is done, Johnny get your gun Join the rank and file, on your TV dial You come around looking 1984 You're such a bore, 1984 Nostalgia, you're using it like a whore It's better than before You come around sounding 1972 You did nothing new with 1972 Where is the fuck you? Where's the black and blue Hey! Look around they are lying to you Can't you see it is just a silly ruse? They are lying, and I am lying too. All you want is entertainment, Rip me open it's free 1, 2, 3! If you wanna take a shot at me, Get in line 1, 2, 3! I've had all my shots and I'm fine 1, 2, 3! If you haven't had enough of me, Well get in line, line 1, 2, 3! You too deserve it now, it's all right 1, 2, 3! We can drown in mediocrity It feels sublime 1, 2, 3! It feels like someone pushed the rewind 1, 2, 3! Give it to me easily, my feeble mind needs time 1, 2, 3! Make it sweet and syrupy with rhyme [Don't drag me down, I'm not falling down] The grip of fear is already here The lines are drawn, Whose side are you on? |

| The Good Life – Album of the Year Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I first heard The Good Life on the saddle-creek 50 and wasn't all that impressed, especially for Tim. Then I heard this song and It's been in my head all week. I love this song. Clever lyrics. | |
| Sleater-Kinney – Surf Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
you forgot the best part! "dear Corin, we're the only cats in the whole school who can keep an open mind about music, and accept a little wild loudness. keep listening to those crazy new wave bands and keep an eye out for Sheena cause she's a punk rocker. keep the faith and new bands will appear. it is also interesting listening to all your stories of car wrecks and concerts. I hope you get out of all the trouble you got in with the cops (sooner than you think? I know the feeling?) we've got to start a band this summer, but we've got to find a better name than "Sleater-Kinney" it was good not knowing you I hope you have a good summer stay cool, love Carrie" I listen to this song on repeat all the time. |

| Harvey Danger – Pike St./Park Slope Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I adore this song. It's my favorite Harvey Danger song. This song is a great example of how strong of lyricst Sean is, and how much of an improvement this is over whatmmg (which was amazing as well). I don't see why HD was a one hit wonder band. |

| Sleater-Kinney – Light-Rail Coyote Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is most defiantly about Portland. Trust me. I'd also say that it's about just the general desperation that follows you around in life. I have to say, growing up in Portland, this song is the best description or Portland I have EVER heard. It's so simple but it still makes you say wow. my favorite line "And Joan of Arc rules northeast Where the poor and the hipsters meet" just spend a week even in Portland and the song becomes that much better. |
