| 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 |

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? |

|
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. |

| and by "wrote this," i mean written about. .. oops :) | |
| The Avett Brothers – Famous Flower of Manhattan Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
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 – Laundry Room Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I love this song. Cant wait for the new album. | |
| 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. | |
| CocoRosie – Turn Me On Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
hot damn this song is amazing. this song is beautiful and real. |
|
| 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. | |
| The Avett Brothers – Pretty Girl from Chile Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
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. |
|
| The Avett Brothers – Bella Donna Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i love the simplistic, yet complex themes in this 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 |

| The Blow – Come on Petunia Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| so i really like when girls sing love songs from a dudes perspective. i dunno maybe its just me. | |
| The Blow – The Long List of Girls Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| 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 – Living of Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| the sense of longing in this song is so strong. he just sounds so honest. i love this song so much. | |
| The Avett Brothers – A Lover Like You Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song kills me in the best possible way. | |
| 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. | |
| The Avett Brothers – I Killed Sally's Lover Lyrics | 18 years ago |
