| The Black Crowes – She Talks To Angels Lyrics

This song is one that really moves me. When I first heard it, it was like somebody put to words what I felt like growing up. My parents are both addicts and I spent a good deal of my time trying to keep the people I knew from being around them. I told people I was an orphan both before and after they met my family. I can't speak for what the writer was going for, but for me, the lock of hair in her pocket thing is sort of like the memory of the brother and sister I hardly know, we're adults now and we still don't know each other. We probably never will. The cross for someone she has not met is the divine being who should have taken us all of that craziness, but never did. Some of us (children of addicts) are still waiting for that to happen, so we haven't met him/her/whatever yet. The she don't know no lover, none that I ever seen part sort of reminds me of how we spend so much of our time trying to find that one person who can make it all OK. The one who can heal the pain from the childhood we lost and the happiness we never experienced. We all know that no single person can ever replace all of that, but we keep trying in the hopes that we're wrong. Anyway, that's just my interpretation and what it means to me. It's by no means what the song is actually about. |

| Rhett Miller – My Valentine Lyrics

The first line is "Love in the asylum is a beautiful thing."
It's not "wanting you is worth a million of these", it's "one of you is worth a million of these."
I hate to be the lyrics nazi, but I love this song. |

I love this song, it brings back some great memories of friends past and how little else mattered except me and them and a bottle of whatever was handy. Can somebody please tell me what buckie is? |

I don't think Craig sees this girls as horrible people either. They're portrayed as being sad and kind of pathetic. He's watching these girls who bend and twist who they are just to be with some guy. Yeah, you can make him like you, but at what price? Instead of learning from the mistake, they do it over and over "there's always other boys, you can make him like you." They never grow because they don't think it's necessary. "It only gets kind of weird when you wanna get high alone" or "It only gets inconveneint when you wanna go home alone", those are the only times the girls think about how much of themselves are wrapped up in these guys. Other than that, they're content to "hang in the kitchen." |
