The Elected – The Bank and Trust Lyrics 20 years ago
this song has to be about blake and jenny's relationship. if you're a rilo kiley fan, you probably read the interview with jenny in this month's 'spin' where ben gibbard and blake both talk about blake and jenny's crazy relationship. who else would he be referring to in this line:

well she gets real mean when she's drunk
and she finally fell asleep and I'm glad
said "the only way you got as far as you did
is cause of me, your songs suck"

i came on here hoping someone else had posted a response, but i guess i'm the first. let me know what you guys think. i love this song, so catchy, i listen to it over and over in the car. obviously there's a lot more meaning to this song but that line about songwriting always catches me, my little sister even asked me about it. well, peace guys, let me know what you think
