| Sufjan Stevens – In the Devil's Territory Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It really sounds to me as if the second line's "Be still, arrive in time." In which case the Beast (see below, passim) could be put back in his box. But I agree that the song's probably about J. Christ anyway. | |
| The Magnetic Fields – You Must Be Out Of Your Mind Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think it's: If you need a Santa Claus To buy your gallows |

| Eels – Some Friend Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Pretty sure it's: "Kowtow to everybody's whims" (A kowtow being a deep bow, a Chinese display of submission and deference.) |

| Martinsherry16, you've got it EXACTLY. There's a similar theme in other songs of theirs, e.g 'The Girl on my Left'. | |
| Langhorne Slim – In the Midnight Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think it's something like: "I know it's me, for you the rules were always bent It wasn't them, with letters they never sent" |

| Ray LaMontagne – Sarah Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The lyrics on the recorded version are more like this (one or two words near the beginning I'm not certain about): When we first met we were kids We were wild, we were restless But after a while I grew coarse I grew cold, I grew reckless I hold this memory I pulled you so close to me Whispering "Will we always have?" Lately it feels like I'm sleeping And I just can't wake Pacing the floor Want to call, but I can't So I hang up Sharing a seat on the train With a lady who's crying It's ruin(??) to me Now I see just how young and scared I was Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same? Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same? Said goodbye to all the places I used to call Said goodbye to all the faces I used to know Nothing lasts forever, I guess by now I should know I should know There ain't a thing I can say That will ever repair And you who had so much advice And yet wouldn't share it Maybe someday we will look back on this And we'll smile But now I can't bear it Now I see just how young, how scared I was Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same? Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same? |
