The 1900s – Whole of the Law Lyrics | 17 years ago |
I like this one too--it's nearly a copy, save a few minor adjustments to suffixes and punctuation; but i think it helps to read the song the way it's sung Why wait another day To sit around, and never play The games you want to win? Coz lately, I’ve been confused; I’ve laid around, And I never use my mind. Into the darkness, where I’ve been waiting around: I stood right in front of the light, and turned back around. Low-down and high-strung The light you see deep underground Is never like the sun’s And lifetimes they go misused: It’s suicide to live and not pursue. Into the darkness, where I’ve been waiting around: I stood right in front of the light, and turned back around. Way-down….. Don’t wake-up ‘til tomorrow… Has come and gone. Tomorrow…has come and gone. Tomorrow...has come and gone. Don’t wait too long. “Do what you want” should be the whole of the law. Love is the law— Love under will. |
Modest Mouse – Willful Suspension of Disbelief Lyrics | 17 years ago |
I would like to call attention to the opening lines of "Doin’ the Cockroach": “I was in heaven; I was in hell. Believe in neither, But fear them as well." |
Common – I Used To Love H.E.R. Lyrics | 17 years ago |
obviously, the commercial from the gap didn't show up on my previous submission, but I would just like to highlight Common's fumble. |
Common – I Used To Love H.E.R. Lyrics | 17 years ago |
This is Common’s new GAP commercial “I might've failed to mention that this chick was creative But once the man got you well he altered her native Told her if she got an image and a gimmick that she could make money, and she did it like a dummy Now I see her in commercials, she's universal She used to only swing it with the inner-city circle Now she be in the burbs lickin rock and dressin hip And on some dumb shit,” (Common, Resurrection, 1994) |
TV on the Radio – Province Lyrics | 18 years ago |
"Much like falcons tumbling from our hearts that blaze Oh come join, ?(arms engaged)" should be: "Much like falcons tumbling from the heights at play conjoined, talons engaged." ------------------------------------- I think, and I may have gotten this from an article I read, that this song is about art, about how we feel like it's all been done--but how we can still create new things. I mean, there's a lot more, but that's one of the major premises, the one i think is most important in the consideration of these lyrics. |

Coldplay – Sparks Lyrics | 18 years ago |
adding to npchong: This song, along w/ the album as a whole, depicts one's constant yearning for redemption; but, at the same time, it expresses a knowledge that it will never be granted. It's about loving and hurting people, and sticking by them after they've throw you aside for your misdeeds. |
Coldplay – I Bloom Blaum Lyrics | 18 years ago |
Adding to swear, I think some of coldplay's best songs are b-sides. I mean, it's why i always buy their singles and eps, for the b-sides. |

Death Cab for Cutie – Bend to Squares Lyrics | 18 years ago |
I was at a show long ago, and ben gibbard mentioned that he and another band member wrote this song while in the studio. I remember him mentioning the difficulties the two band members were having laying down a particular track. he discussed the equipment and how difficult it was for them to decide on a sound. |
Death Cab for Cutie – All Is Full of Love (Björk cover) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
No matter what, you will be loved; and you will have to trust the love that is given to you. Now, it might not be what you expect. You might stare in one direction, and pour all of your love into one person; but that doesn't mean that love will be returned. You might spend your life staring at one person, and the love you recieve may come from behind you, from someone you didn't even realize was standing there. because all is full of love. Now, if you want to lock yourself up, and take your phone off the hook because the one you love doesn't love you--go ahead, but you might miss the love that's meant for you. No matter how many ways I say it, Love is all around you, and you can't deny it. .f p.s. it sounds so much better the way DCFC says it...and that's why they're the songwriters. |
