Soul Coughing – You Lucky Dog Lyrics 17 years ago
I found it on *cough*Limewire*cough*....
I love this song so much!! Brilliant lyrics; just...delicious. XD

The lyrics to the version I have sound more like this (minor adjustments):

Did you love me or did you just love me back?
I'm on this van gone to Baltimore, I'll add it to the stack of places.
I’ve gone to crouch and seek some shelter from your name.
Long distance just to hear your voice on the machine.
Well,

You lucky dog,
Yeah, you won the role.
Your mind, it won't lose grip on mine;
your grasp, it won't uncurl.

The Bronx is menaced by a man 500,000 feet tall.
I love the beige of your skin, like a hospital wall.

What world runs 'round your head?
What small moon encircles you as you lay in bed?

Her skin is cool, and music swirls around her hips,
but I can't get lost in there and shake the picture of your lips well,
I read your letter twice, I read it while she slept.
Your words loop in my head while she invites me deeper, deeper.

You lucky dog,
Yeah, you won the role.
Your mind, it won't lose grip on mine;
your grasp, it won't uncurl.

Soul Coughing – How Many Cans? Lyrics 17 years ago
I believe it's about his ex-girlfriend that broke up with him a day before he went to Jamaica (and that's where he met Dervin, as Alpha13 said).

Soul Coughing – Disseminated Lyrics 17 years ago
This used to be one of my favorite Soul Coughing songs, so I was surprised when I learned it was Doughty's "absolute least favorite of all the Soul Coughing songs". Wow. Harsh.

However, if you want a primary source on what this song is about, I highly reccomend following jay314's links! They're awesome! Well, at least I thought so.

I especially love the NY Press one because, if you've read Doughty's poems in Slanky, it becomes VERY clear that the poem called "True Story of the People Had Over" is about that whole predicament. And it's awesome to read the full story of it from Doughty's POV.

Ha... I now understand why he hates the song. Although, I still love it. XD

I can see the whole "personification of war" thing but to me all I can think about when I hear this song is the Holocaust.

Dave Matthews Band – Grey Street Lyrics 18 years ago
I have the Busted Stuff version, Lilywhite Sessions version, and the Some Devil Bonus CD verison. The last one is a live version and it has the same lyrics as the Live at Gorge version.. I'm guessing they'd have to be different..right? XD I'm just wondering because no one has mentioned that one yet...

Nevertheless, I love all versions of this song and am making a painting inspired by it. ^^ Hehe.

Mike Doughty – I Hear the Bells Lyrics 18 years ago
SO. No one has thought of maybe going to Mike Doughty's own website and looking at the lyics he himself put up? XD

The line is:
"...Gone to the moon
Without you, girl, and I'm
Calling to you..."

OFFICIALLY. Unless you want to debate about it with the songwriter himself. lawl.

Panic! at the Disco – Build God, Then We'll Talk Lyrics 18 years ago
I'm sure someone's said this but the:

"Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things."

is a reference to the Sound of Music, right?

Beck – Totally Confused Lyrics 18 years ago
I've had this song stuck in my head all day..very randomly.

Before today, I hadn't listened to this song for forever. But now it's, like, one of my favorites, again. [x

As for the meaning, I wouldn't really know..but, yes, I do think it's a strange, simple, and insanely awesome love song!

But, seriously, this song scares me. o_o Whatever it is in the background through the song that kind-of sounds like it's growling..eugh..~shivers~

This is another Beck song where I have no idea what it could mean. =/ He's probably the only one that knows. Haha.

No, I agree with Angry Sar. This song is most deff. about "commercialism and the emptiness of the recording/music industry". Well said. ^^
