| Damien Rice – Then Go Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
the version of this song that i have has completely different second and third verses. I happen to like the variation in these, so I thought I'd share: among the intentions which have been sought numbered and labeled but none of them bought I get the feeling you're testing me you're saturated in urgency I stick your probe in further but you're still not pleased and if there's someplace else you'd rather be then go, then go. I would have lied for you I would have cried for you I crossed the line for you I would have died for you |

"You feel like claymation in flourescent light." This line left me pretty speechless the first time I listened to this song. I've never heard the sentiment expressed so well. Brilliant brilliant lyrics. |

| Morrissey – Everyday Is Like Sunday Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I agree with Thierry, it's about how life in general is 'silent and gray' and full of disappointments that you're going to meet no matter where you go to escape it. Buuuut. Colin Meloy's cover IS beautiful. |

| CocoRosie – By Your Side Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Amazing song. Kind of tongue-in-cheek commentary on housewives who get themselves into situations ("I'd wear your black eyes") just "for a diamond ring." There's no love between the two, just the desire to mold into a domestic society. Or maybe I've just been analyzing too much feminist-related lit in English class lately. Or I suppose the narrator could be saying that she loves the guy so much that she'd be willing to settle down as a housewife, despite the dull life she outlines. |

| Nope. It's "Better Half". | |
| Tarkio – Keeping Me Awake Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I always interpreted this as a summer romance that fell apart, and looking back on it, the narrator himself is falling apart and writing these songs at all the odd hours of the night. Effing beautiful song. One of Colin Meloy's greatest, I think. |
