| Slaid Cleaves – Fairest of Them All Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think "Up in Vegas where the neon screams, as loud as the traffic in her (?) scenes" is "as loud as the traffic in her nylon seams". Like nylon stockings, since she may be a prostitute. |

Okay, I know "I've got a bar, said he's swell" and "oh, hey my doll, did you hear?" are totally off, but I couldn't make it out. I think the rest is pretty accurate though. So just edit them if you've got anything better, but don't be a dick and say: "THESE LYRICS ARE TOTALLY WRONG." Thanks. |

| Free Fall Astronaut – Looks Like Another Cloudy Day Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Not only is this a rip off of "It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends", but it also sound like The Calendar Hung Itself..." "I called your house but got the machine So I sang songs you used to sing to make me happy "You are my sunshine, My only sunshine You make me smile when clouds are gray" Sounds very much like: "And I settled for a telephone Sang into your machine: "You are my sunshine My only sunshine You are my sunshine My only sunshine," " Plagiarism is very fucking original. |

| Voxtrot – Every Day Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Thank you for the lyrics, but instead of: "My flavor happens inside this", I hear: "My flavor ripens inside this". I could be wrong. | |
| Voxtrot – Every Day Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| So honest. The ending so so strong. The meaning is obvious, whether it's new love or old, he is willing to do anything to make it stronger. Absolutely perfect. | |
| Voxtrot – The Start of Something Lyrics | 17 years ago |

When I first heard this song before reading the lyrics I thought it was about a man's relationship with a underage girl. I heard: "Say, you're not allowed to curse" instead of "still, you're not around to curse". I also thought "Break common laws in twos and threes" was about age of consent. Now I think it's about an adultery law. I think it's about a man who may/ may not have gone out with a woman and now he wants her back but she's married. Hence the: "The ring, it nearly weighs her down She's got another boy, oh boy". Maybe at the start of the song their relationship was just beginning, like when he sings: "Or just the start of something really, really beautiful Wrapped up and disguised As something really really ugly?". Then the second verse may be them on a date, "I watched every inch of film flash across your roman features and I loved it, loved it". Third and fourth verse they may have gotten into an argument: "Well, I'm sorry everybody knows you can't break me With your gutter prose" Maybe the woman is trying to make him feel guilty or shitty about what they're doing. Also, "Would you believe it? She sent me a letter The ring, it nearly weighs her down She's got another boy, oh boy" maybe is trying make him feel like shit again by saying "I have a guy that can give me things you could never afford". "And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?" I believe is expressing the narrator's doubt in her faith/loyalty to him. Fourth verse is saying they got over the fight, but they realize what they are doing is morally wrong. Fifth verse is asking about her thoughts on freedom, maybe over a drink (Oh, tell me your thoughts tell me your thoughts on liberty/Will you join me for another round?) Next verse is going back to adultery (I break the law once every week to feel your touch). I think he's saying he's done a lot for the relationship too. "This just makes me ill/ Your name is dripping from my pen" I think is the point where the relationship ends, it makes him sad, and he still wants to write to her. "I'll drop the gun now" may be his remorse for "killing" her marriage, and "I'm still under you" may mean his acknowledgment that he feels below her. And the final verse: "Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight Marianne, let the ghosts sleep Just shut your eyes, burn the past" may be just him trying to let her forget what happened, to "burn" away what happened. I don't know, that's just my take on it. :] |

| Rilo Kiley – The Frug Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think annabean's got it the best. I was recently reading Piece, which is a compilation of short stories, and in Day of The Dead, the narrator tries to make a list of things she can do without her boyfriend. This song reminds me of it. | |

My favorite lines are: "So I want to get myself attached to something bolted down So that these winds of circumstance won't keep blowing me around" says so much in just a few words. |

| This song is more than good. I love the end: "Just kidding world, you know I love you". It reminds me of Make War by Bright Eyes. | |
