| Jesca Hoop – Bed Across the Sea Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
These lyrics are completely wrong The opening lines are "LA is hot as fuck and Manchester's about to freeze you're on your way to the mail to get a letter from me and as of our separation at the ancient bell she ? curl up your every night in a bed across the sea words are all we have for touch they are our fingers and i love our words so much and write your lips to kiss me now and i can taste you as i read your words out loud you rise and start your day with toast and black tea while i'm in the still of night and pushing back sleep and i'll write the hands of the clock 'til they fall up on 3 and drop me in your virtual garden for eleven seas words are all we have for touch they are our fingers and i love our words so much and write your hands between my legs and i can feel you as the words jump from the page the sky is bruised it's a lusty dusk of the lovers' rouge wet with sap and musk under you under dreams spell dusk and it's true and i know that i must and with you i immediately trust and it's so that i fell at first blush and it's snowing in australia just now your letter came and the pages did say that you'll fly from your home to mine on january 8th and just now i find that i can just barely wait and from now until that time i'm counting down the days words are all we have for touch they are our fingers and i love our words so much and write yourself inside me now and i can feel you as the words come pouring out and words are all we have for touch they are our fingers and i love our words so much and write your dreams out line by line and i will stitch them in this heart of mine i'm in australia" not sure how these are so misunderstood. The song seems to be about a long distant relationship. |

I always felt like the Beatles lyrics were simple and clean, to the point and conveyed the complexity of their emotions without becoming to evlevated. For me, this song does exactly that. |

| Xavier Rudd – One Short Story Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
girl moves from home and becomes lonely, meets boy who makes her happy but she is still home sick- together they go to her home where she is complete but she doesn't need him anymore and it crushes him when she tells him. I think it is a story about young lovers who have two different paths, they cross briefly and both are happy but the girl needs more and boys love, although grand, doesn't do it. She sends him home to repair his heart, hoping he will find there what she found in hers. incredibly sound and touching |

| Missy Higgins – Where I Stood Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I agree from the first line that she has broken up with her boyfriend- and it is a fresh wound as she says it has just begun. I think some of the previous comments have hit on what I am going to cover but I want to add my own spin. From my own perspective I would think the background story goes something like this. This is probably a longer, more developed relationship that has been really good for both of them, they were happy together probably up until she brought this up. This need to discover who she is, she feels so close to him that she probably views herself more as "So and So's girlfriend" than being a whole individual. There is a need in her to be free not of the harm that might come from the relationship but the harm in going through life feeling incomplete with one's own self. I doubt it has so much to do with her being unhappy with the relationship as much as she is uncertain what being incomplete means to her- she also knows that until she knows who she is, she can't love him like he deserves. "But you taught me to trust myself" gives credence to my claims- for me at least because I have been in a few relationships where girls have done something similar. It isn't to be taken personally- it is just a realization on their part that they need to find themselves on their own. This song is a masterpiece. |

| Ben Folds Five – Emaline Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
actually this song is Ben Folds- it was recorded originally for Majosha in 1989 and then again by only Ben Folds in Greensboro NC in Feb of 1990 way before Ben Folds Five was together- It was then recorded for Ben Folds Five to be included on their debut, self titled album (1995) but as people have already noted- it was not included because of the guitar. It then appeared on the Naked Baby Photos (Ben Folds Five) album in 1998 before being reintroduced in 2002 on Ben Folds Live. It was long rumor through out the online community that this song was about a horse- it was a running joke that i remember hearing about even before it was released in 1998. This remains my favorite Ben Folds (Five) song no matter what it is intended to be about- for me it is just beautiful and lovely. |

| Ray LaMontagne – Lesson Learned Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this might be me projecting a past experience but it seems to relate so closely- i had a girlfriend who cheated on me- i forgave her and we stayed together- several months after that I slept with someone else, just to get over what she had done in my own mind- i didn't tell her. We broke up and when we came back together I felt obligated to tell her about cheating on her earlier in the relationship but after she had first. She was so hurt and I had a hard time doing anything besides thinking- "that is how i felt, that is what you did to me, see?" maybe that happened here in this song, i am willing to believe he either cheated second or never cheated but she did and believed he had as well. I have actually had that happened too, amazingly it feels pretty similar. |
