Death Cab for Cutie – Long Division Lyrics 17 years ago
Man, this song is great live and on the album--but I think I like the album version more, even though robot!Gibbard caught me by surprise. XD

Death Cab for Cutie – The Ice Is Getting Thinner Lyrics 17 years ago
It's actually "floes". As in ice floes. Floes of ice. That kind of thing.
I agree-the album version is more haunting.

Death Cab for Cutie – Talking Bird Lyrics 17 years ago
Here's the album version of the lyrics. Just a heads-up.

One, two, three, four



Oh, my talking bird

Though you know so few words

They're on infinite repeat

Like your brain can't keep up with your beak



And you're kept in an open cage

So you're free to leave or stay

And sometimes you get confused

Like there is a hint that I'm trying to give you



And the longer you think, the less you know what to do



It's hard to see your way out

When you live in a house in a house

'Cause you don't realize

That the windows were open the whole time



But oh, my talking bird

Though your feathers are tattered and furled

I'll love you all your days

Till the breath leaves your delicate frame

It's all here for you

As long as you choose

To stay



It's all here for you

As long as you don't fly away

Death Cab for Cutie – Your New Twin Sized Bed Lyrics 17 years ago
Ah, just confirmed that on the album he says "That old Queen was more space" instead of "holds more". I'm pretty sure he did say "Holds" live, though.

The song is "Your New Twin Sized Bed", I believe.

But I know from the live recording that it's "Other than a sick desire for self-abuse"

Tessd, the only song we haven't heard is "You Can Do Better Than Me", which includes a great line about clothes in closets. ^_^

Anyway, these lyrics don't strike me as much different at all. You've still got the great descriptions. This song is a little more bare-bones, though, I'll give you that.

Also, good goodness, there are mistakes on these lyrics too! Was the uploader just racing to be the first one on?

Death Cab for Cutie – Grapevine Fires Lyrics 17 years ago
Some of these lyrics are very wrong, I think. At any rate, it's a very good song about kind of... escapism, I think. Or rather, not really escapism, but about being contented with things as they are.

Ah, I just remembered--Bend to Squares, like this one, is written mostly in the third person. I'm running through my website now to find the other lyrics and check.

I think some of these lyrics are wrong.

At any rate, I find this interesting that this is one of--if not THE first (I'll have to go back and check)--songs by Death Cab that is written in the third person.

I love the descriptions in this song, and the constant math theme throughout. This is their second song to be named after a mathmatical "thing", I believe--Line of Best Fit would be the first.
