From dictionary.com. Not that i'm accusing you of not believing me, but having some sort of proof is better than not. "—Idioms 14. bone up, Informal. to study intensely; cram: We're going to have to bone up for the exam." |

| 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"? | |
| The National – Brainy Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| 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. | |
| Spoon – My Little Japanese Cigarette Case Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Yeah, this song's unquestionably about cocaine. | |
| Dethklok – Murmaider Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's probably locks, to go with the chains. | |

|
"does anyone else hear him sing, "Do you like Wayne's World, Baby?" at the end?" Oh god, i'm so glad it's not just me. |

| 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... |

| Radiohead – The Tourist Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Except, Kassidari, Jonny Greenwood wrote this song, not Thom. | |
| The National – Mistaken for Strangers Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| 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. | |
| Built to Spill – Traces Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I love this song's outro./ | |
| The National – City Middle Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Good mixture of drugs and/or alcohol is what i'm thinkin. | |
| 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." |

| I'm pretty sure it's "the mogul fingers the wrong guy, alright" | |
| 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". | |
