Belle & Sebastian – Lazy Line Painter Jane Lyrics	19 years ago
i'm confused about the bus line. is she actually giving birth to a boy or girl on a bus or is she just having sex? the pregnancy thing would explain why she's wearing a boy's jumper.

Elliott Smith – Between the Bars Lyrics	19 years ago
its not that hard, guys. between the bars, and the girl is drinking up. walking from bar to bar, to get more drinks. "baby" is an alcoholic. i thought at first the speaker (remember, in poetry you can never assume the speaker is the author.) was kind of comforting the drunk, but now i think they are kind of erasing them, feeding the addiction to make the person dependent on them.

Death Cab for Cutie – Lightness Lyrics	21 years ago
i read that every song on transatlanticism is about long-distance relationships, so i thought the ivory lines could be roads on a map, or something having to do with roads. but when i first heard it, i thought about static on tv, i dont know why, but that image has stuck with me.
