The National – All Dolled-Up in Straps Lyrics 17 years ago
I can't believe it took me this long to hear Cherry Tree. This song, and most of the others on the EP, is fucking amazing.

The National – Slow Show Lyrics 17 years ago
Am I the only one who hears "everything I love gets lost in DROVES" and not "drawers"?

Godzuki, "boning up" doesn't mean masturbating, it means that he's studying the dictionary.

Radiohead – Up on the Ladder Lyrics 18 years ago
I hear "trapped in upper-space" personally. It's pretty clearly a "p" sound there, so either upper or hyper really.

Yeah, this song's unquestionably about cocaine.

Radiohead – Motion Picture Soundtrack Lyrics 18 years ago
"((I've passionately loved Radiohead since I was six, so I feel like I might understand him [Thom Yorke] a bit more than most fans because his music has engraved itself into and shaped my heart.))"

Wow, that's some of the most pretentious garbage i've ever seen...

Except, Kassidari, Jonny Greenwood wrote this song, not Thom.

Anyone have any sort of insight into the "just saw a feathery woman carry a blindfolded man through the trees" part?

I'd appreciate any corrections or suggestions as to what my question-marked words may be, they've been driving me crazy.

Brand New – Degausser Lyrics 19 years ago
This looks like one of those cases where the lyrics in the booklet aren't the actual lyrics in the song. I really hate when that happens.

Brand New – Not the Sun Lyrics 19 years ago
So it really is "be my babe"... That sucks, i'm gonna keep thinking he's saying "bane" cause that's way better.

Brand New – Not the Sun Lyrics 19 years ago
I swear the chorus is "To be my bane".

The Shins – Sleeping Lessons Lyrics 19 years ago
I'm convinced that he says "old guard", not "old god", what with there being no 's' on the end of offend.

The Shins – A Comet Appears Lyrics 19 years ago
I believe the chorus is "Still to come, the worst part and you know it"

The Shins – Split Needles Lyrics 19 years ago
Linkin Park? Ouch dude, ouch. This song reminds me of The Cure, in a way.

The Decemberists – When the War Came Lyrics 19 years ago
From an interview from Pitchfork:

"The last great book I read was Hunger by Elise Blackwell. It’s about the siege of Leningrad in World War II, and there was a botanical institute. During the siege, which lasted a long time, the entire population were starving, but all of the botanists in the institute swore themselves to protect the catalog of seeds and plants and things, from not only a starving population, but also from themselves. It’s pretty amazing. I actually ended up writing "When the War Came", a song on the new record, about that."

The Decemberists – The Perfect Crime #2 Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't get the hate, I love this song. Probably my favorite on the album, along with The Island.

Interpol – Next Exit Lyrics 19 years ago
"So, do this thing with me
Instead of tying on a tight one tonight"

This sounds a lot like a heroin reference to me.

The New Pornographers – Falling Through Your Clothes Lyrics 20 years ago
The chorus is wrong. The line "Someone that you only" should be "Saying that you want me".
