| Jenny Owen Youngs – Voice on Tape Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think it's just about having really great friends but not being able to be around them. Although she wants to be with them all the time, she's making due with just their voices. She has their voices on tape to listen to and remind her of the good times. | |
| PJ Harvey – White Chalk Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Yeah, PJ was born in Dorset. I don't think this song meant to be sad. I think it's about always being tied in your heart to a certain place. The place where the narrator grew up, the place she played as a child, the place she had kids. Those hills have been around longer than her, and they'll be there once she's gone. No matter where she goes, she'll always end up back at those hills. |

| Feist – Lover's Spit (Broken Social Scene cover) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This is such a great song. *sigh* It was originally done by BSS but Feist also did a cover of it for the B-side of one of their albums. | |
| Fiona Apple – Better Version of Me Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "After all the foldin', rollin'" is actually "after all the folderal." | |
| Noisettes – Signs Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Here are the correct lyrics: Where were they I do not know Where are we now And does it show We grow, big, small Sometimes we stay the same Love is all I had to give I was not born alone Those little things Those precious things you gave me Well, well, the signs Oh, signs Yeah, signs Boy, don't you throw your heart away Read the signs Oh, signs Yeah, signs Before you're about to fade away Dizzy heart and dizzy eyes If she said jump You said "how high?" Now you miss the water Cos the well has run dry Memories of the summer breeze Tentacles of the shadows, trees Now boy, you brought me to my knees There were no signs Oh, signs Yeah, signs Boy, don't you throw your heart away Read the signs Oh, signs Yeah, signs Before she's about to fade away There were no signs Oh, signs Yeah, signs Girl, don't you give your game away Read the signs Oh, signs Yeah, signs And then what will they do? Signs Oh, signs Yeah, signs Girl, don't you give your game away Signs Before you're about to fade away You stole my heart Now we have to go back to the start Now we've a part What, what, what will they do? You stole my heart Now we have to go back to that part I don't remember that part You say I dramatize With all those lows and highs Now we've a part I don't remember this part |

Akkk! This is an awful cover of a great song. *sigh* Cat Power's cover was soooo much better! |

| Neko Case – Poor Ellen Smith Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The first verse is so morbid. | |
| Regina Spektor – Dance Anthem of the 80's Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love this song! It's so sweet and catchy. | |
| The Long Blondes – Separated By Motorways Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is so catchy and exciting. I agree with muffin333, it's about two girls escaping from their problems by running off together! | |
| The Long Blondes – Lust In The Movies Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is such an awesome song. It's about a (maybe more than) slightly obsessed girl who just wants to be with this guy, but he wants nothing to do with her |
|
| Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Rich Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think it's about a rich, stuck up girl who drinks a spiked drink and ends up getting date raped...or something. That's just my interperatation. I love the "rawwwr" parts. Such a good song! |
|
| Cat Power – I Found a Reason (Velvet Underground cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is such an amazingly beautiful song and Chan totally makes it her own. | |
| Rufus Wainwright – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love the piano on this. Rufus gives the song a very "fairytale"-type sound. | |
| Plain White T's – Hey There Delilah Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| One of my friends sang this song to me...and I cried. I love this song so much. | |
| Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton – Freak Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The (...) part should be "orbiting lighter." | |
| Regina Spektor – Us Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I agree with what everyone has said. It all makes sense. It's just the kind of song that can mean whatever you want it to. But I think she's also poking a bit of fun at America. ^^ |
|
| Regina Spektor – Ne Me Quitte Pas Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The beginning lyrics are wrong. They should be: "Down in Bowery they lose their ballads And their lipped mouths in the night" And I love this song. ^^ |
|
| Imogen Heap – Blanket Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Full lyrics are: Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket Emotionless the city lies Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes The dull the dark shades on my day I live inside this place Locked up inside my metal cage Always tense and filled with rage Above the concrete fields below With you i wanna go, wanna go Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket I see only what i wanna see I'll be only what i wanna be My blanket covers me, yes "Yeah, check it Now as a yout man I was body poppin breakin on the lino Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro Used to stand in line just so as I could sign my giro But now my ends meet in the best way that I know (Hat, snare, kick) and the beats that go boom See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom All the beats and melodies keep realities at bay But what happens when the records done and starts to fade away" Alone within myself again I try to veil away my pain The dirty grey surrounding me 'round And now I hear no sound... "I feel like Melle Mel from way back in the days As i wonder how i keep from going under I got trouble on my mind like my name is chuck d And like marvin gaye it makes me wanna holler When the music hits me I feel no pain That's why i gotta put you on again and again I take the needle off the technics and put it in my vein All my troubles get crushed as the rush hits my brain And away goes trouble down the drain" I see only what I wanna see I be only who I wanna be My blanket covers me Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket I see only what I wanna see I be only who I wanna be My blanket covers me Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket You are my living world You are my living world You are you are you are my My only living world.... |

| Regina Spektor – Marry Ann Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think the "he" is Mary Ann's man. I think Regina's saying that everything about Mary Ann was mechanical and rigid and planned. Also, she killed her husband because she went crazy, but not any crazier than according to plan. xD |
|
| Regina Spektor – Love Affair Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| No. It's definitely "by the way." | |
| Regina Spektor – Carbon Monoxide Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think the song is saying how, just like carbon monoxide, (which is virtually undetectable but deadly) when the two of them die (possibly by suicide) no one will notice. So she's saying that she's like carbon monoxide. | |
