Elliott Smith – Flowers for Charlie Lyrics 19 years ago
I hear the lyrics as:

"Flowers for Charlie, you know
I'm not a good GI Joe
Because I always aim low
And I won't fight you

Popularity war
I'd be a clown in the corp
Taking over the store
It's a cop out

I don't want to win
New friends anymore
There's a world within
But I can't call out

Kiss me quickly
I'm in a hurry
And I've got worry enough
Trying to stay around

Brought you a flower from the other side
It's a free world
You don't have to hide"

Elliott Smith – No Life Lyrics 19 years ago
The lyrics, though beautiful, are really secondary to the music. ES really rocks out on this one. I too would love to hear a better resolution version, but as is, it's a great jam. I think of this song and See You in Heaven as sister songs, b/c if ES put lyrics over See You in Heaven, there'd be a long jam at the end of that one too. Everything he touched is golden.

Elliott Smith – Confidence Artist Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this is about his experience singing at the Oscars in front of "so many people" and he wants to even the score with them, because he knows they couldn't care less about him and what he does. But he's too enchanted and overwhelmed by the whole thing.
