Animal Collective – Derek Lyrics 12 years ago
I can't believe nobody has gotten this right yet...

Had a white and black sheltie,
Had no name when we first got him
Should have taken better care of him, but he had it okay.

Sorry when I get unruly,
When you carry on so much I get a little tired.
Hope you get over your teething,
It's not easy when you feel sick

Had to sprightly walk you like him
When he peed up all on your side
Grabs your bags that's what he told us,
Me and Michael looked at each other like, "Woah, what was that there?"

Derek never woke up at night,
and in the morning he's ready to go.
And he never had a voice like you to scream when he wanted something.

Should have been so much more willing,
To help out with all the things that a dog like you needed.

What do you, what do you...
See what it is, see what it is...
See inside of the eye, of the eye...
See inside of the eye, of the eye...

You can die, you can die...
When you get, when you get...
What you know, what you know...
Count on me, count on me...
What do you, what do you...
See what it is, see what it is...
See inside of the eye, of the eye...
See inside of the eye, of the eye...

Ray LaMontagne – Winter Birds Lyrics 15 years ago
Such a beautiful song. It's clearly about a widow coping with the death of her husband by seeing a new man, and Ray is singing from the perspective of that new man.

Billy Bragg and Wilco – Another Man's Done Gone Lyrics 15 years ago
This is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time. Jeff Tweedy reflects the angst in this song so well - definitely a lot of pain in his voice. So powerful.

Conor Oberst – Cape Canaveral Lyrics 15 years ago
Just some minor corrections...

Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
I saw your legends lined up
And I never felt more natural
Apart, I just came apart

Please, please, please sister Socrates
You always answer with a question
Show some kindness to a petty thief
Forgive, you did forgive

And watch the migrants smoke in the old orange grove
And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
You’ve been a father to me
In 1960’s speak
Give me comatose joy like we’re on TV
While the mountain’s side was shining
Wild colors of my destiny

I watched your face age backwards
Changing shape in my memory
You told me victory’s sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats

Hey, hey, hey mother interstate
Can you deliver me from evil
Make me honest make me wedding cake
Atone, I will atone

Wait, wait, wait mighty outer-space
All that flying saucer terror
Made me lazy drinking lemonade
A waste, it just went to waste

Like the Freon cold out the hotel door
Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral
You’ve been a daughter to me
Your buried shoe-box grief
I felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat
While the waterfall was pouring
Crazy symbols of my destiny

I watched your face die backwards
Little baby in my memory
You told me victory is sweet,
Even deep in the cheap seats

And you don’t judge me
That’s not your style
But I won’t see you for a little while
And there’s no worries
Oh lord, Whose got time?
All these changes are going to fill your mind

Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove
Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
It’s been a nightmare for me
Some 1980’s greed
Gives me parachute dreams
Like old war movies
While the universe was drawn
Perfect circles form infinity

I watched the stars get smaller
Tiny diamonds in my memory
I know that victory is sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats

Miley Cyrus – 7 Things Lyrics 16 years ago
HAHAHA okay, so I was on yahoo.com's home page and I saw that they were plugging this song's video and I figured I'd check into how bad pop music is nowadays. I've got to say that I was so glad I checked into this song because it made me laugh harder than I've laughed in quite awhile. The lyrics are so bad that I can't even imagine what went through this girls head when she played back the song and thought, "Hey, that's great." I mean, any song that says "If you text it, I'll delete it" needs to be mocked immediately. I'm not saying that all pop music is bad, because there are some bright lights being creative, i.e. Justin Timberlake...but outside of him pop is just a disaster and the fact that people are listening to this unoriginal garbage is pathetic. I know I'm going to get hateful comments back at me from 15/16 year old girls who listen to this song and sing it back in the mirror and then cry about lost 'love', and I frankly don't mind. Go listen to some Devendra Banhart/Fleet Foxes/My Morning Jacket/Sigur Ros/Radiohead....if you can't see the genius in at least one of those bands then you need to re-evaluate your musical preferences. HAHA "IF YOU TEXT IT, I'LL DELETE IT!"

Animal Collective – Who Could Win a Rabbit Lyrics 16 years ago
I really don't believe the lyrics that marillchu posted. I don't think the band would release the lyrics based simply upon request if they didn't release them originally. I've spent a ton of time listening to this song - trying to decipher the lyrics. This is what I've come up with...tell me what you think...

Hungry bread and butter hustle,
You'll be doing it a while, livers only fail.
Where's your relaxation?
Where's the time required for your health?
Quit hating on my new perspective.
Been Hurrying along no meal is ever done.
You could win a rabbit
You could have a rabbit,
OR if the fast child is gonna have a dead hand.
We can get him started, yeah!
Bad mind let me put on good habits,
Been working and put on good habits,
Sometimes I can't find my good habits.
Do do do do do do
Spanish bands use all the echo.
Persian kitty better stay out on the chain!
Glad you brought you feed on,
Eat it like it's gonna get away!
Your coffee sure is getting colder.
The sheets are getting fewer - space is losing place.
Here's to winning rabbits,
You could know what happened to the riddle.
Rabbit or Habit, Habit or Rib?
Rabbit or Habit, Habit or Rib?
Rabbit or Habit.
Do do do do do do do.
