"I'm sorry but" is such a great-sounding device except then it's like wait what are you apologizing for

Why? – Berkeley by Hearseback Lyrics 14 years ago
Good catch, I assumed 'gift from the Maccabees to mom to me' was referring to classically Jewish traits that were passed down genetically but I couldn't figure out which line could be a reference to some physical characteristic

Barr – Half of Two Times Two (Newer Version) Lyrics 17 years ago
"and if we're all here then we're also probably also special art rebels anyway, so let's all be special art rebels together"
Similar but.

I always thought it was "oh my god dude do not call me bro" but now I hear yours. Tad bummed, I liked the first one better.

I agree that the lyrics are really good. But I don't like the song itself very much

The Good Life – The Competition Lyrics 17 years ago
Tim is also from Omaha and this song predates First Day of Your Life by several years. I'm pretty sure the origin of that line is babies are born crying.

And as far as I know Tim has never been romantically involved with Jenny Lewis. The thought creeps me out.

Built to Spill – Kicked It in the Sun Lyrics 17 years ago
As far as the 'You went and kicked it in the sun' bit goes, it seems as if he's saying this person abandoned the serene life of TV at three for something that seemed more lavish and exciting. 'The sun stopped its shining' seems like a last laugh sort of thing. 'You left for something fleeting and now all you have is this big giant used-to-be-sun thing. Hope it was worth it all' Or that's what I got from it.

The Unicorns – Inoculate the Innocuous Lyrics 19 years ago
The asshole eyeball part is really quite genius
because your eye muscles work the same way a sphincter does, in that it's default position is to be tense and that you actually relax them to use them.
Like when you squint
or, well...
