Harvey Danger – Incommunicado Lyrics 17 years ago
This song, i think, is about "the one that got away"

"we talked for twenty minutes, by the time the party ended you'd forgotten
and i'm still thinking about it five years later." a girl he met briefly, who he felt he had a connection with, they haven't spoken since, he's still thinking about her and what might have been.

he tells himself it's stupid the way he is feeling "live for the present tense, and come to my senses"


"next thing i knew someone had called for the cheque
(cheque please)
and you were gone before we turned it over" that i'd imagine is the awful date he had with her.

"i think about it every time i see you
that's when i try to remember
there were never any terms we could agree to" he sees her, he wants her, then he tries to remember that they wern't right for each other but that part gets blocked out (i've been in a simaler situation with an ex)


"i dreamed we were alone all night
in a house made out of beds,
and nothing happened"

that's self explaintry, but such a great line, i absouloutly LOVE it...

they are such a GREAT band.

The Mountain Goats – Sax Rohmer #1 Lyrics 17 years ago
i imagine it to be like a futuristic war setting, but this soldier is determined to see his sweetheart again

"i am coming back to you, with my own blood in my mouth"

probably wrong, but oh well this is such a powerful song, like all their songs!

Harvey Danger – This Is The Thrilling Conversation You've Been Waiting For Lyrics 17 years ago
is this something to do with money? because i was listening to it when the whole credit crunch thing was going down...

"if you can't support it, don't try on the suit if you can't afford it"

isn't that why we're in this mess now?

Harvey Danger – Plague of Locusts Lyrics 17 years ago
this is obvisouly about how the bible descibes the end of the world, though as sean nelson is famously an athiest it's meant to be ironic i think.

Harvey Danger – Humility On Parade Lyrics 17 years ago
i think this may be about the holocoust, but maybe from the nazis point of view, it talks of "smug bastards will be humble" the nazis thought the jews were greedy etc.

also it talks about looking the prisnors in the eye and stuff...just an idea
