| Lifetime – Somewhere In The Swamps Of Jersey Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I'd wait for you always on streets and in doorways where engines they die near the northeaster line simply beautiful, magical words. Great song. I love the end, too, where the guitar cuts out leaving bass and drums. First time you hear it you think it's a bridge, but the song just stops, leaving you helpless. |

| The Weakerthans – Time's Arrow Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is my favourite Weakerthans song, because the lyrics are just beautiful, and the twinkly guitars compliment the idea of clocks and time soflty ebbing away. So you whisper your arrival walking backwards to the door. Wonder briefly what it is you're hesitating for. These small lines say so much about hesitation, uncertainty and a lack of confidence in ourselves. Faint words folding in on themselvees in the air. It's all so needless! Time is catching up on us and we're going to die eventually. Why can't be freer to express our deepest desires! All the streets lie down, deserted in the darkest part of night, to lead you through the evening to the light. I love these lines. In particular 'the streets lie down'. I can't quite put my finger on why, but these words just seem to communicate the sheer magic of night time. |
