Andrew Bird – The Trees Were Mistaken Lyrics 18 years ago
made a couple corrections/guesses. i'm absolutely surprised how andrew bird can sing one thing and it can come out clear as day to be something to one person (me), and something completely different to another. haha.

Regina Spektor – Love Profusion (Madonna cover) Lyrics 18 years ago
i really love how in the recording at the jewish heritage festival, she says "I've got jew, under my skin" instead of "I've got you, under my skin."

Charlotte Gainsbourg – The Songs That We Sing Lyrics 18 years ago
i love this song and charlotte gainsbourg so much.

as for a meaning, well, i'm not too sure. a few little anecdotes put together to question whether anything is really worth what it takes to actually do it.
whether it's worth smiling.
whether it's worth having all the money in the world.
whether it's worth singing, if nobody's listening.
and i think by the end and other lines like "..i'm dead and i'm perfectly content" show that really, she's just fine with it.

regardless, i'm not good with song meanings. i do know that, to answer charlotte's question, this song does mean a lot to me. i just wish it was a lot longer.

Imogen Heap – Speeding Cars Lyrics 19 years ago
maybe i'm listening to a different version, but i found a few differences in lyrics:
"here’s the day you hoped would never come"
"I know you think it's more than just bad luck"
and, the second time, "don't kill yourself"

As for what I think of the song, I think it easily comes off as a break up song. She is saying that this is all a phase of growing up, loving and losing a love, and it's not worth losing his head/killing himself over. She is moving on for whatever reason, but she still loves him and he loves her.
