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.

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

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!

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.

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

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.
