Spin Doctors – Jimmy Olsen's Blues Lyrics 14 years ago
Pretty clear this is about a guy who has a thing for a girl who is completely out of his league. There is no girl in fiction who is more out of your league than the girlfriend of a near god, so Lois Lane is the example in the song.

Third Eye Blind – How's It Going to Be Lyrics 14 years ago
This song reminds me so much of a relationship I got into in 1999, knowing I was moving out of state in 2000. Always knew I was going to be leaving this person, but still wanted the relationship at this time.

Dave Matthews Band – Grey Street Lyrics 20 years ago
The Busted Stuff version is nothing compared to the Lillywhite Sessions version. I even had 2 street signs made of "Grey Street & The End Of The World" hanging on my wall before Busted Stuff came out... :) If anyone wants the Lillywhite sessions (mp3), email me at beanj007@gmail.com.

Here's the lyrics of the Lillywhite Sessions version:

Oh, Look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
Just listens to abuses
And by the kitchen sink...

She thinks, "Hey!
Why do I live to this?
I'm latest in life
How did it end like this?"

Oh, when the rocks in her heart fall
And she feels the weight of life
And the colors mix together to grey
Grey Street

Day & Night the difference
She prays to God most everynight
Although she swears He doesn't listen
There's hope in her that He just might

She said, "I Pray!"
"But they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it all on myself
To get out of this place."

But then rocks in her heart fall
And then she rode the light in
Oh, the pain now seems it's over
And again she sees the pain
And then the colors mix together to grey
On Grey Street

It's all colored in again
Take what you can from your dreams
Make it real as anything
Takes the work out of the courage

She said, "Please!"
"There's someone sleeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
And the end of the world."

And the wrong in her whole plan
It's as hopeless as the day she came
And the man she calls her father
Ignores her and ignores her pain

Oh, when I walk out in the morning
In all this sunlight
And all the colors mix together to grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
It's Grey Street, you go

So, don't lose your heaven
Don't convince yourself you're done
Just 'cause the things around you seem heavy
Doesn't mean you can't get off this ground

When you hold me down in the heart now
Move out and, oh, the wait is over
Oh, might notice all your worry
One another (???)
And the colors mix together to grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
To grey...
Yeah, yeah...

Dave Matthews Band – Stay or Leave Lyrics 20 years ago
I've been a Dave fan since '94, and this song got to me on a level I haven't experienced since the Crash album. It makes me appreciate the love I have everytime I hear it.
