Soul Coughing – Soft Serve Lyrics 19 years ago
Here's what Mike Doughty said on www.scug.net:

Saw a girl in Georgia, but I lived in Brooklyn; she couldn't deal with the mileage, she ditched me. I actually yelped at her "You dumped me!" and she replied, rolling her eyes, "'Dumped' (sigh) That word is so 80's."

It was late August, humid and awful in New York, my apartment in Fort Greene was practically a steambath.

The guitar part comes from an attempt to emulate the way the guitar slithers around the accents in Snoop Dogg's "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thing", whereas the melody is more or less failed attempts at variants of the line "...and I slowly came to see all of the things that you are made of...." in the Mary J. Blige song "Real Love."

PJ Harvey – Legs Lyrics 19 years ago
"And I, I might as well be dead
But I could kill you instead..."

She thinks that her lover leaving her would completely kill her. However, if she kills him first, then he can't leave her, and she thinks this alternative will protect herself from being emotionally destroyed by him.

PJ Harvey – Missed Lyrics 19 years ago
Actually, that line is "I'd burst *it* full to the brim." At least, that's what it says on PJ Harvey's website.

The New Pornographers – The Jessica Numbers Lyrics 20 years ago
I think this song is about getting a girl's phone number (i.e., Jessica's numbers). That's why he says to put the answer on his hand.
