Vampire Weekend – Campus Lyrics 17 years ago
i agree with mike f. 100% except i personally think the last line means that he's sleeping in the balcony after class as a way of avoiding the girl until the coast is clear.

Stars – Take Me to the Riot Lyrics 18 years ago
nickels and tens? nickel bag... dime bag...? i would say they're definitely alluding to drug use/dealing.

The Radio Dept. – The City Limit Lyrics 18 years ago
I love this song. The mood is perfect... it sounds like a late night car ride. And I think its meaning is pretty clear.

Feist – My Moon My Man Lyrics 18 years ago
I think she's leaving her boyfriend (she's taking her care and her coat with her) and after she walks out the door, she wants the light of the moon to guide her. The moon is more docile companion (such a lovable lamb). And since she just up and left the boyfriend, it's a clean break, but things are still messy/dirty.

Modest Mouse – Paper Thin Walls Lyrics 20 years ago
I think CowboyDanCarson is totally on the money about this song being about spending time in jail -- but i'm assuming it's about the rape charge instead of attempted murder. that's what the lyrics "tow the line to tax the time you know you don't owe/i can't be a fool for everyone i don't know" are all about. he's not guilty of the charge, so he shouldn't be owing time and people will make assumptions about him since he had to spend time in jail for it, hence being a "fool" etc.
