| Dr. Dog – Where'd All the Time Go? Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
wow. can't believe no one has commented yet. i find this song playing thru my head often enough that i had to log on and get to the bottom of the lyrics. thanx for posting, quitwiz! seems like this song could be about reflecting on a lost love/old flame. especially since the song is titled "where'd all the time go" and the line "there ain't no way to sweep up the mess that we've made". dr. dog, FTW! |

| Dr. Dog – Unbearable Why Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
this IS my favorite on the new album. from the moment i first heard the intro i was hooked. i would have to take a guess and say that the "why" itself is the unbearable part. sort of like he's in a figurative prison (doing time/guilty) and having to address how he ended up there is literally unbearable. then again, very little of the dog's lyrics can be taken for face value... im also curious to know what the "lying in letters to someone i don't know" part is all about. |

| Dr. Dog – Heart It Races Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
totally agree on this version being better than the original. i put this song on when i'm feeling down and for whatever reason it changes my mood almost instantly with its awesome. it's probably all the "Boom da da da da da da boom dat dat dat da da's" can't get enough of it. |

| Dr. Dog – The Pretender Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
a lyrical correction if you will... i believe the line goes: Libraries of guilt Will be forgotten, burned By the time you reach the pretender Tho, "Oh, my berries again" is damn funny and: We don't need the money And we barely need our names |

| The Dutchess And The Duke – Mary Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| i think you are right on the money radio5434. this is my fiance's fav band right now and he just mentioned to me yesterday that he thought this was a song about being abandoned by one's mother. why do more people not know about these guys? they are one of the best groups making music right now. | |
| Amy Winehouse – To Know Him Is To Love Him Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
she fucking kills this song and i mean that in the best way possible. you can really hear the emotion in her voice play out in each line as she sings it. i know it sounds like she's yearning for a man who is out of her reach, someone who doesn't really know she exists in a way. however, my very first thought on hearing the words was that the "he/him" is actually god. i know this was written by phil spektor so who really knows, but just reading the line: "Oh, everyone says there'll come a day When I'll walk alongside of him" kind of sounds like the promise of heaven after death. it's a stretch, i know, but a thought nonetheless. |

| Elvis Perkins in Dearland – Shampoo Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure the lyrics go as follows: yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow yellow is the color of the sun black is the color of a strangled rainbow just the color of my lung black is the color of my true love's arrow just the color of a human's blood this comes from the liner notes in the album also, i think the meaning behind this song may have something to do with "shampoo" being a barber/hair salon. the narrator is telling the sweeper boy that he can has a chance to be more than what he is although he is young and "shampoo" has been around for 10 years longer than he has even been alive. it is beautiful lyrically regardless and whatever it means im in love. |

I could be COMPLETELY off-base here BUT, I have been reading "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" by David Foster Wallace and there appears to be some uncanny similarities in some of the lyric choices from this song and the content from this novel. For instance, in a story about a boy who confronts his fear of the high diving board at the public pool, he says "The ground wants you back". Later on in the novel there is a mention of a man who works as a bathroom attendant donning "Good Humor white". Pure coincidence? Possibly, though I have my doubts. I have not completed the book so this is by no means definitive proof of anything, simply an observation. Perhaps someone else who has read this book might have additional input? |

| Ray LaMontagne – Meg White Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
we all have our crushes. i guess RL likes 'em "white". it could be weirder. to correct above statement, meg is not the singer but the drummer of the stripes. hence the lines: "playin' those drums is what you do it's true nobody plays them quite like you do" |
