Johnny Cash – Sunday Morning Coming Down Lyrics 18 years ago
"On a sunday mornin' sidewalks
wishing Lord that I was stoned"
i get that one. sometimes its just easier to be stoned, and sometimes you just cant get stoned, and so you wish you were because you just feel better.

Elliott Smith – Needle in the Hay Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is totally about drugs.

"So leave me alone
You ought to be proud
That I'm getting good marks"
to me means that yeah sure, hes addicted to drugs, but he's still doing just fine and so he wants everybody to leave him alone about the drugs. at least, that's what i take it as.

Rilo Kiley – Jenny, You're Barely Alive Lyrics 18 years ago
"Something to mute, change, or just distract you
Something to put inside you to give the illusion of life"
sounds like drugs to me.

Kind of Like Spitting – Holding Patterns Lyrics 18 years ago
the beginning, getting high the day their ashes were spread, is ironic because the person died of a drug overdose, so how do they deal with it? get high.

"When you called us three days later
We all knew you were high
We all knew you were tired"
the person was on a lot of drugs when they called, but they didn't think anything bad would happen. at least, probably nothing as bad as said person dying.

Tilly and the Wall – The Freest Man Lyrics 18 years ago
in an interview, kianna basically confirmed that is was about conor.

& some minor corrections:

This boy I know, he has a heart of glass
It is gold inside but it has crystallized
It is beautiful, but in its tragedy
It is hard to hold without shattering
He calls himself out nightly, softly over chords

Keeps coming back to it, his voice and echoed chords
Till the sound's so thick it turns the sky to smoke
And of the greyest days the predictions told
But this boy I know, he is pure of soul
He just gets lost sometimes in his chemicals
Under a coat of night, it's all so comforting
And that first breaking light becomes his enemy

He calls so late tonight, it is 4 a.m.
He is drunk and can't find his apartment
I don't like how it feels when I think of him
All hooded in black, lost and stumbling
The days start to fade out of the frame
Like they're blurring into someone else's name
You try your hardest to rewind the tapes
But you're prepared every day
To make the same mistakes

Step out of that life
It's nowhere near your time
Just remember you called it all bullshit
Well, it is and if you stop giving into it
You can walk away the freest man

This boy I know lives in a bell jar
It is balancing up on its pedestal
He's trying not to upset the weight of conscious
Afraid it's so far to fall if no one catches him
But I've been there too and I swear to god
If I can help you, please, you gotta tell me how
I know you've been away and it can break you down
And I don't want you gone

All the cracks you see can be repaired
And if you start to fall, we will be there
Don't drown yourself in all your old regret
Because that heaviness will steal away your breath

Step out of that life
It's nowhere near your time
And don't forget you called it all bullshit
It still is and if you stop giving into it
You will walk away the freest man

Shake your head
Loosen your grip
Raise up your fist
You are the freest man

Open your mouth
Scream it out loud
Forget all your doubt
You are the freest man

Hannah Montana – The Best of Both Worlds Lyrics 18 years ago
im 18 & i love hannah montana. i also love a lot of other bands that are totally different. music is all about appreciation. if you're not willing to experience different sorts of music, then you're missing out & you're the one who looks like a close-minded asshole.

&&sparkle, most of that is not punk.

The Good Life – Off the Beaten Path Lyrics 18 years ago
"When I still thought of love as a risk I could take
If I was willing to make the commitment to rejection
The mind games, the deception
The late nights under the covers
Pointing the finger at whoever started
Whatever we were fighting about"

sounds kind of like my current...'relationship'

Tilly and the Wall – Forget the Feeling Lyrics 19 years ago
this song has a lot of versions to it (i know i have at least three different recordings), the one posted being from the WFMU recording, but these are the lyrics to the one on the 7":



been waiting to form a line
to be honest in what i say
i stopped moving on
i built a frame of glass around your face
a season of silence passed
days of dust upon your photograph
if all i have are faded memories
how can i write your story

i remember the melody of a song
but the words always escape my head
stripped to the plot of a book i read
i recall your face, but forget the feeling
i lost everything of yours but a ring
i have nothing to give back to you
all i have is what i make
all i have is a song that i can sing

the clouds gather past your house
it's dust got full of way to the front door (???)
a knock and a brief exchange
you asked me will i stay another year
a blue and red rocket
a great big farmhouse where we all can roam
a beatific laugh, and then you sigh
"you should do what you want"

i remember the melody of the song
but the words always escape my head
stripped to the plot of a book i read
i recall your face, but forget the feeling
i lost everything of yours but a ring
i have nothing to give back to you
all i have is what i make
all i have is a song that i can sing

and you'll say that time tried to change you
oh, but you maintain for me still waking up
still coming home

Rilo Kiley – Room 8 Lyrics 19 years ago
i always thought it was
"lock the car, tremble and shake
maybe the call was just a fake"

because then she goes on to say:
"but there she is spotted through rain"

as if they like, didnt believe it. but then she does appear to be there.

Tilly and the Wall – Let It Rain Lyrics 19 years ago
i dont think that just because nick wrote it, the song has to do with homosexuality. nick also wrote 'forget the feeling,' but nobody is jumping on that song saying its about him being gay.
but this song has to be one of my favorites. its so pretty.

The Elected – The Bank and Trust Lyrics 19 years ago
i agree with juniorclemons completely. & i dont think any of the album really has to do with jenny except that one line. he might be talking about ex's, but im sure blake has had more girlfriends than just jenny.
but ANYWAYS, i really love this song. and i think we should just appreciate it for what it is.
as for rabbit fur coat... jenny really shouldn't have. her lyrics might not sound like teenage bs, but her songs sound like shit.

Tilly and the Wall – Nights of the Living Dead Lyrics 19 years ago

The Good Life – Haunted Homecoming Lyrics 19 years ago
i'm not sure if these are completely correct, but this is what i have:


well here I am, yeah, I'm back again
in the town that I used to call my residence
now it seems I dwell in a silver van
you might have seen it once, yeah, it's parked out front
but homecoming used to be a sweet affair
I'd be swimming to the arms of a lover there,
today there doesn't seem to be a niche for me,
just a couch at todd's house, and jim, me, and the tv.

the house is empty, the shadows are growing tall
against the book shelves and the paintings as dusk begins to fall
this city has abandoned me, it's forgotten who I am
the landscape change its shape,
the streets twist and bend until I've lost my direction

I woke up late to the sound of drums
so I headed downstairs to see what was going on.
Roger was playing to a metronome,
he said "it's just not right, man, it's got no soul."
I told him what my sister said in chicago:
"boy, you've made a choice you've got to uphold,
i know it might sound unbearable,
but when you chose to write, you chose to be alone."

so the house is empty and thats how it has to be
so I better not complain, I guess it's best for me,
but the city keeps haunting me
like the house on Lafayette
it was built for world war vets
we laughed and said "how appropriate."


who do you think of when you think of the city?
well, mostly, I think of you.
you're the peants at their city
you're the two way big at Louie's
you're the Monday nights at Sullivan's
you're the underground on Highland
you're the dogtrap
you're the devil
you're the forty-niner's shuffleboard
you're the big beard at the underwood
you're the brothers
you're the drug store

well, I miss this city,
I miss this city,
ohh, I miss this city,
I miss this city,
(well, here I am, yeah, I'm back again)


(in the town that I used to call my residence, now it seems I dwell in a silver van)
I miss this city,
(you might have seen it once, yeah it's parked out front, but homecoming used to be a sweet affair)
I miss this city,
(I'd be swimming to the arms of a lover there)
I miss this city,
(today there doesn't seem to be a niche for me)
I miss this city,
(just a couch at Todd's house, Jim, me, and the tv)

i've never really associated conor with tilly at all. i mean, jamie & neely were in park ave with him, and they're on his label, but that's about all the connection i've made.
& this song is on the tilly and the wall 7" along with two other songs.

The Elected – It Was Love Lyrics 19 years ago
i totally agree with thisparapet.
"and there's days when you just break the best thing you had and I still call it love"
kind of sums it up. like 'it was the closest thing i've had to love and i'm glad it happened.'

or at least, that's what i think.

Devendra Banhart – Quedate Luna Lyrics 19 years ago
i THINK this is it...

I haven't drunk
But i'll take a drink now
And I know what I expect the most
What makes me fall in love

Three, Seven Ten
You can't see me
But perhaps
If I say your name
You'll know who it is
I'm the dog at your feet
That bites your ribs
And the stars shine and the moon sits on its chair

What are you drinking moon and why are you so yellow?
Well, I'm tired and my daughters they call me old
My hair is dry and my skin has no glow
But the world is yours, but tonight you are mine

So
Stay, stay moon
Stay, stay moon
Stay, stay moon
Stay, stay moon

Look at god in the air, look at god in the sea
I give you my life just to hear you sing
Hear god in the wind, taste god in the honey
God lives outside and inside also

So
Tell me, tell me moon
Tell me, tell me moon
Tell me, tell me moon
Tell me, tell me moon
Tell me, tell me moon
Tell me, tell me moon
Tell me, tell me moon
Tell me, tell me moon

I haven't drunk
But i'll take a drink now
And I know what I expect the most
What makes me fall in love
