| Earl Sweatshirt – Earl Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
should be: "Poke Catholics in the ass with swords" "I puke a piece and put it on a hook and fuckin cast the shit" "in my room, redefining the meaning of black holes" "hurry i've got nuts to busy and butts to fuck and ups to shut and sluts to fuckin uppercut" "found the mustard, fuckin nosy neighbors know that somethings up" |

| The National – Abel Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| "My mind's not right" is maybe a reference to "Skunk Hour", a 1959 Robert Lowell poem | |
| Pearl Harbor – Lost at Sea Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| great song! thanks for putting the lyrics up. one small possible correction: I think the first two lines are "I'm so shipwrecked without you but you won't even look for me." and the very last line is "and you won't even look my way" instead of "and you're walking in my way". | |
| Dirty Projectors – The Bride Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I figured out a few of the missing spots...see what you think: I...I want a missed bouquet raised a longing in the (?) beckoning everyone in for the good news that no one has any good reason to live Tears of laughter did pervade your ambivalent behavior where was your diamond engaged but an instant could be written over like a page in a dead book, yeah whose cascading empathy could really reach beyond tomorrow? and when the dinner chime when the (?) calls (or comes??) will be anyone listening at all? |

| Animal Collective – Brother Sport Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
In the verse after the "support your brother" section, I hear -- You've got to weigh what you say You ought to be ashamed of the way you play |
|
| M.I.A. – Shells Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| also second verse should say -- field full of dope, not "fell for the dope" | |
| M.I.A. – Shells Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| A few lyrics corrections:1. instead of why you gotta make me out like this? -- it should be "why you gotta make me act like this?". 2. the last section should say talking about talking about war war war I'd rather talk about moi. | |
| Atlas Sound – Children's Hospital (Screaming in the Face of Death #2) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is about the summer where Bradford, who was 16, spent months in the hospital recuperating from surgeries to treat his Marfan's Syndrome. He was only allowed to eat ice chips because anything else would shock his system. The girl next to him had contracted E. coli or something else and was screaming and screaming in terrible pain. When Bradford woke up one morning, he realized that the screaming had stopped and the girl had died in the middle of the night. This all comes from a post on Atlas Sound's blog. I forget, maybe it was there, that I read this also but Bradford has also said that he will always feel like a sickly child. And so, maybe this song is saying something about adults too in that, in essence, everyone is still a child screaming hopelessly into the inevitability of death. Even once you grow out and move away from the things you suffered in youth, temporally and otherwise, those things never really stop affecting you. | |
| Beirut – Forks and Knives (La Fete) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think it's most likely "spoken from a beak of a wise old bird". | |
| Sunset Rubdown – Stadiums and Shrines II Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| the line "I'm sorry your mother died" could be referring to Dan Boeckner (sp?) of Wolf Parade whose mother died and whose death was the inspiration for "This Heart's on Fire". Just speculating. Probably not, but this line just made me think of that song. | |
| Islands – Where There's a Will, There's a Whalebone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| That's just straight from the booklet, but what is actually rapped is different in some parts. For instance, Subtitle actually says "Where there's a will, there's a way to go", etc. | |
| Islands – Where There's a Will, There's a Whalebone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
part 2: Busdriver: Frame our press show with a whale sternum And a dolphin femur, band breathed lab tech with a solvent in a beaker. Yell in boom mics and moonlight as a coffin cleaner then poolside. I food fight with Hollywood anorexics I’m in a crew of pallbearers and ambidextrous foosball players We got pool hall flair, remove all layers of industry pretension and augmented physical attributes Because I’m blanketed in nude doll hair But with these styles we’re shrewd on-air So we’ve been annexed to an annexed isle By the radio programmer, half-man reptile That church of satin bible study tutor choirboy Prefers the works the tire uninspired and coy But uhh Driver’s ploy is to show a lot of follow through Wearing a monocle coming out a fiery void Collecting style in rental late fees They never return it after the test drive Infatuated by a robot’s breast size We ain’t entertained by balloon animals Marooned on our tropical safe haven Everyday is a paid vacation |

| Islands – Where There's a Will, There's a Whalebone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
here is the first part: Subtitle: Where there’s a will, there’s a whalebone, you’ll never know/ I set sail that morning and I may not come back bro/ lay low/ in a hideout Just to bust you – tropical/ it’s neurotic and exotic/ With yet another broke down – incidental/ Not accidental/ When facts track the mental/ even within movement/ Words get arranged for maximum deployment/ Words mean will/ Where there’s a tailbone, then there’s a tale gone wrong/ Young gang on a boat – it’s the same song/ Same quote/ nature stretches it out note by note/ It’s a new state. You don’t know the nomenclature; the governor has status with the cutting apparatus/ And that is half the battle/ They can’t think of how to absorb us, they can’t think of how to absolve me Let’s see/ a cancerous mix of young pirates for kicks – signed, sealed C.G/ In congealed blood/ this is all on the surreal/ Don’t appeal to the side where the law resides/ After all that, it’s a separatist homicide/ Rappers try to cultivate carbon monoxide You tried to get entranced by the folks that try to get us by happenstance |

| I hear "count on us all falling on our own swords tonight" | |
| of Montreal – The Actor's Opprobrium Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think it's more about snuff films and what you are willing to do to make it in a place like Hollywood. To get to the top you have to start at such a low place like snuff films and work your way up and the singer is feeling ashamed of it. | |
| Devendra Banhart – Be Kind Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| dedicated to bianca cassidy of CocoRosie I believe | |
| Pavement – Stop Breathing Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| "Although it's about war, there's a deliberate double entendre about volleys and tennis. The title is supposed to be being shouted by some challenger who's losing in the U.S. Open. You know how they start getting upset at the slightest noise? Well, he's telling the crowd to 'stop breathing'. Literally." - SM | |
| The Boy Least Likely To – Warm Panda Cola Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure this song says: Warm Panda Cola Butter melting in the sun As for meaning, I think it's nothing more than another happy song. I think in an interview, they mentioned the fact that it's some Coca-cola knock off you can or used to be able to get in the UK. |

| Bright Eyes – Amy in the White Coat Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
You should wash your hair more You should look more like us This line really brings to mind me to me the mental image of that girl or boy at school who is often made fun of for being weird or dissheveled or trashy looking all the time. People dont understand them at all or what kind of fucked up home life they come from. So it is quite easy for someone to make fun of people like "Amy" with no remorse because they don't know that their life is a living hell everyday. |
