The Matches – Here's to Love Lyrics 17 years ago
One more thing: the acoustic version of this song makes it a lot more heartbreaking, believe me! Makes me feel more sad than mad.

The Matches – Here's to Love Lyrics 17 years ago
Well, to answer the site's question: this song means I'm clearly not the ONLY one in the world who responds rather
viciously, sometimes. to the end of a love affair! LOL
Thanks, guys, for helping me remember that. And apparently there are LOTS of mixtapes at Goodwill!!!!! :)

The Matches – Their City Lyrics 18 years ago
Here are all the lyrics. They were posted a while ago somewhere on one of The Matches' sites. Hope this helps!
This is one of my VERY favorite songs, and it pained me. LOL


We hide
As sidewalks crawl. diseased,
Ever shopping, hopping fleas as
The engines hum
The sun’s reprise.
We rise, into skies punctured with stars
She steers us through her Dogpatch bars
A barback nods---he’s one of ours

As they sleep
Their city's awake and wide
Their city's awake and wide
We're aching inside, aching
Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride

Their city's awake and wide
Their city's awake and wide
We're aching inside, aching
Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride

My blood, finally thick enough to drive
Marianne, last touch, 5:45
The highway's already alive
With the khakis teaming with caffeine
To coax the cursor ’cross the screen
The nervous tick-tocking machine

Their city's awake and wide
Their city's awake and wide
We're aching inside, aching
Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride

Uh uh uh uh, all the lights go green
For me, Lord Legless, and my sacred rose queen
Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man
Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man
We're nothing serious

From Lower Haight to sea cliff estates
Sped past the finest
You gave no chase
We‘re proud to feast
(Their city)
On Mission grease,
(Their city)
We’ll freeze our tits off
(This city's awake)
On Baker Beach
(Their city's awake)
rolled back to park
You rolled a smoke
(You killed the beams)
I nearly spoke
(Marianne)
I'm half his age
(I'm half the man)
Tell your old man
We're nothing serious

Their city's awake and wide
Their city's awake and wide
We're aching inside, aching
Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride

The Matches – From 24C Lyrics 18 years ago
2nd verse should read: "I'll just hurry over, worried sick you mi ght be sick."
Wish I knew the last verse, too...each time I listen I think I know, then change my mind on the next listen!
You can now listen to the entire album on The Matches' MySpace, as of today.

The Matches – Point Me Toward The Morning Lyrics 18 years ago
(?)= "Can I hear three cheers for these?"

I love this song! It rocks. And it might give a generation or two something to think of in terms of their future and their government. But, hey, how would I know what the composer was thinking? Just seems that way to me!
And good for the Matches if that's what they're implying!

The Matches – Future Tense Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is adorable. :)
She pressed inside my shirt then gave me a SHOVE;
FACE the future tense.
After all, that's what he's asking her to do, right?
With him in her future.

The Matches – From 24C Lyrics 18 years ago
this song explains itself. It's so incredibly sad to be treated that way.
Few corrections: downslide on the sidewalk; clocks divorcing ticks; or just for instance he's CLAWING your fat; pushing your BREASTS into the mattress.
Great song for sobbing to!!!

Well, who really knows? But it seems like, "leave the past behind and come with me to be free (skin again)."

The Matches – Between Halloweens Lyrics 18 years ago
"It's not the girl that we let TEAR THROUGH OUR CORE;
IT'S THE TEAR THERE BEFORE...THAT MAKES THIS GIRL INTO MORE."
"Just LICKED lips under a flame of CURLS"
(I'm pretty sure!) :)

The Matches – Yankee In A Chip Shop Lyrics 18 years ago
OK! My fave change will be "...keep your GENE POOL to yourselves."
Which makes it clearer why the heck they want The Matches out of their chip shop, huh? LOL

The Matches – We Are One Lyrics 18 years ago
I think it's protest, too: anticipatory protest from The Matches to those who will complain about the changes in the Matches' sound they'll find on the new CD, A Band In Hope. When the 4 Matches are united, they are more than the sum of their individual parts; they are then one band making the changes THEY want to make in THEIR music. I LOVE the sentiment!
Go Matches!

The Matches – Yankee In A Chip Shop Lyrics 18 years ago
Seems like The Matches had themselves one HELL of a good time on their UK tour!
By the way...it's a "tube stop" aka: the London subway, not a TOMB stop, which makes no sense! :)
But after A Band In Hope drops, London will be BEGGING these Yankees to hang out in ALL their shops.

Nothing, with the INCREDIBLE amount of errors in these posted lyrics! Whoever posted this clearly doesn't know much about The Matches or he/she would know "LORD LEGLESS and my sacred rose queen" from many of Shawn Harris' posts and his artwork of Lord Legless. This is shameful.

Sounds like it's a couple getting to know one another. And having fun doing it.

The Matches – Darkness Rising Lyrics 18 years ago
It would mean more if the lyrics were right. Try substituting "torrential eyes" (as in crying) for "to wrench your eyes" which sounds awfully painful! Lots of errors in the lyrics from this album submitted by this member.
