The Negro Problem – Bleed Lyrics 18 years ago
have you actually heard the song? its brilliant and one of the sweetest things I've ever heard... they're a really strange band, its an amazingly talented pop songwriting black dude and these two emaciated sort of indie hipster kids... its the perfect band for a girl like me who's two favorite bands are wu tang and belle and sebastian, if i'm not too lazy i'll post more lyrics, they have like 4 albums out its stupid only this song is posted

as for the meaning... he loves a girl who loves him too, but stubbornly refuses to get off her high horse about everything. shes the kind of girl who has a "place in the sun." he simultaneously needs her to be the good one who holds things together ("don't forget to mention/ to your friend that i need work") and wants her to let go of herself ("join me while i'm drowning")

i read that this was about his ex-wife, so maybe all the animosity at the beginning means that their not together anymore... but hes singing these cruel things in the sweetest possible melody, so i think there's some ambivalence

Adam Green – Bluebirds Lyrics 19 years ago
i think its about hiding out and not wanting to deal with the world

just hiding in books and solitude and random activities and self examination

Adam Green – Mozzarella Swastikas Lyrics 19 years ago
"we came upon a cracker"
... as in we approached a triscut or the like

"and we all came on that cracker"
...we all ejaculated (ew I don't really like the way that word sounds) on the cracker

my friend was explaining this to me... apparently there's this game that people play where they all masturbate and cum onto a cracker or a cookie and then the last person to cum has to eat the cracker

hmmmm...
I love Adam Green so much

Camera Obscura – Let's Get Out of This Country Lyrics 19 years ago
this is the best, sweetest, feeling sorry for yourself song

i live in new york city and used to think it was the greatest "the bees knees" (as does about everyone in the world i think), but as baggage and life start to add up around the place you live it's value starts to deteriorate.

this song reminds me of my best friend and i's constant philosophizing and dreaming about leaving together forever...

Belle & Sebastian – Meat and Potatoes Lyrics 19 years ago
why has no one commented on this song its fabulous, as with many belle and sebastian songs its got some sarcastic, funny elements, but it ends with this weird somber note

just a catchy tune too...

Belle & Sebastian – Desperation Made a Fool of Me Lyrics 19 years ago
I CAN NOT BELIEVE no one has commented on this song. It is absolutely beautiful. The lyrics kind of speak for themselves

I never really thought it would be like this
I know it's kind of hard but I'm glad that it is

.... the perfect cunnundrum in life and love

Belle & Sebastian – If You're Feeling Sinister Lyrics 19 years ago
Chances are you'll probably feel better
If you stayed and played with yourself

i love it.

it's true, and i tend to agree with him completely. But this from someone who goes to church every Sunday. Sometimes I wonder what the little old ladies at his church think of Stuart Murdoch, or what their faces would look like upon hearing the last lyric of this song...

clearly I should stop musing about such strange things.

This song kills me, it's sort of beautiful, and Stuart Murdoch sounds just like a little boy.

Belle & Sebastian – Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie Lyrics 19 years ago
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Kerouac's beckoning with open arms,.
And open roads of eucalyptus
Westward bound

this is why Belle and Sebastian is brilliant, what other band would reference Kerouac, JD Salinger, AND Judy Blume all in one song?

it's just about unlikely love and leaving what you know in favor of the unexpected, and it's bloody perfect as usual
