Laura Marling – Your Only Doll (Dora) Lyrics 15 years ago
This is after the posted lyrics in the song:

There's a house across the river
But alas I cannot swim
and a garden full of beauty
That the flowers seem to grin

There's a house across the river
But alas I cannot swim
I live my life regretting
That I never jumped in

There's a boy across the river
With short black curly hair
He wants me to be his lover
and I want to be his peer

There's a boy across the river
But alas I cannot swim
Now I will never get to put
My arms around him

There's a life across the river
That was meant for me
Instead I live my life in constant misery

There's a life across the river
But I do not see
Why I should please those
Who will never be pleased

There is gold across the river
But I don't want none
There is gold across the river
But I don't want none

Gold is fleeting, gold is fickly
Gold is fun
Gold is fickle, gold is fleeting
Gold is fun

There is gold across the river
But I don't want none
I would rather be tried
Than held up by a golden gun

Saying work more, earn more
Live more, have more fun
Saying work more, earn more
Live more, have more fun
Saying work more, earn more
Live more, have more fun

The Avett Brothers – January Wedding Lyrics 16 years ago
love love love this song.

favorite part is:
No longer does it matter what circumstances we were born in
She knows which birds are singin'
And the names of the trees where they're performin' in the mornin'


but does anyone know what sick like audrey hepburn refers to?

The Avett Brothers – Pretty Girl from Annapolis Lyrics 16 years ago
oh i love love love this song. how has no one commented on it?!

just another example of the Avetts honest lyrics. I love that they admit their mistakes and the fact that they aren't perfect.

Did not know that Regina wrote this, but I definitely think it is one of the most under-appreciated Avett Brothers' songs.

Tilly and the Wall – Pot Kettle Black Lyrics 16 years ago
I bet you think we didn’t know
Didn’t even see the tides change
But it’s a small, small world, girl
Getting even smaller every day

I bet you think we didn’t know
Didn’t even see the tides change
But it’s a small, small world, girl
Getting even smaller every day

You can fake that smile
For a hollow while
But the kids all learn
Once those bridges burn

Ssssssssssssss

The trash washes up to shore
Even in this landlocked place
The shit gets thicker
It’s toxic
Get it out my face

The trash washes up to shore
Even in this landlocked place
The shit gets thicker
It’s toxic
Get it out my face
And don’t be surprised
If they don’t buy your lies
Some of us can see through
Your stained glass eyes

Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Talk that, talk that smack
Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Watch your, watch your back

Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Talk that, talk that smack
Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Watch your, watch your back

Oh my god
Did you hear (yeah)
About that bitch
And what she did?
I don’t believe it
Aw, aw
What a ho
What a tramp
What a slut

(pause)

Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Talk that, talk that smack
Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Watch your, watch your back

Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Talk that, talk that smack
Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Watch your, watch your back

The Avett Brothers – Laundry Room Lyrics 16 years ago
This song definitely makes me think of young love. It definitely reflects the innocence and newness of it. And maybe even more than young love this may be about a first love, and how you can only think about the person you love.

The Avett Brothers – Matrimony Lyrics 16 years ago
Agreed this song is amazing. The meaning I think is pretty obvious. A couple gets married, and it is more difficult than they expected. But they are still in love, so they will work it out. Anywho I love love this song.

Born Ruffians – Red Elephant Lyrics 16 years ago
the last line of this song makes it for me. so good

I think this song is also about young love. And when you're young, you aren't sure if it is going to last forever, but you sure hope so. At least that is what it means to me.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Skeletons Lyrics 16 years ago
Beautiful. Reminds me of Maps a little.

Maybe it is about a break up, where neither person wants it to end, but the love is starting to go dry.

Either way, I like it a lot.

The Avett Brothers – Offering Lyrics 17 years ago
i love how honest and simple this song is. And I love how the avett brothers never claim to be perfect, and how they mention their pasts. Because as much as you want to ignore it, your past always shapes you.

Only one comment, really?? This song is amazing.

I love when Gabriella leaves the message on the answering machine.
so good.

The Avett Brothers – Sanguine Lyrics 17 years ago
I think that this is about the end of a relationship.

Sanguine means cheerfully optimistic, hopeful, or confident. It also refers to being the color of blood, but that is probably irrelevant.

I think that he wants her to tell him that it will be ok, or he wants her to at least let him down gently.

beautiful and melancholy song.

Tokyo Police Club – Graves Lyrics 17 years ago
i hear: "pack your rations, pack a watch"

"A thousand suns will set and rise"

"Our hair tangled up in hers"

"Leaving as we came"

I think the rest of the song is:

Cuz you traded me for the love song
You try, but i'll never be a gentleman
Cuz you traded me for the love song
You try, but you only ever treat the symptoms
Cuz you traded me for the love song
You try, but i'll never be a gentlemen
Cuz you traded me for the love song
You try, but you only ever treat the symptoms

this song seems ironic. some guy thinks he's the shit. he thinks he can do whatever he wants and women will still want him.

The Blow – Pile of Gold Lyrics 18 years ago
i also see this song being about guys taking advantage of girls. maybe that's super obvious. also its about the way some guys take girls for granted, and use them for their "gold".

The Avett Brothers – My Last Song to Jenny Lyrics 18 years ago
this is so true. it seems to be about a relationship that is going badly, and they don't know how to end it. when you can't even say the words and start the conversation that will make it all over.
