Conor Oberst – Eagle on a Pole Lyrics 16 years ago
the documentary was amazing and answers a lot of questions. like WHY he decided to do another album at all with
MVB, am i the only one that misses Bright Eyes?

and Simon Joyner was the one who said it would make a great song

Conor Oberst – Ten Women Lyrics 16 years ago
this is about CHEATING.
ten women came between Conor and whomever he was dedicted to.

"Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
Between you and me
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
The nightmare and the fantasy
Ten women
The thrill and the shame
Ten women
I miss you the same
While you're kissing the ring
Of some good timing king
Ten women
A fool I have made"

being with ten women was a nightmare because he never thought he could hurt the person he loved like that
but at the same time it was a fantasy because he was.. ya know, gettin it on. it was thrilling but
he feels ashamed of himself for doing that to his girlfriend (maybe maria???) but he says he misses her
just the same. i dunno what the good timing king means but hes made a fool of himself because he lost his girl because of these ten women.

"Two faces (two faces)
Two faces
Two faces you have
Two faces (two faces)
Two faces
Keep one in your bag
Two faces
From which you can choose
Two faces
And neither are you
Well I'm biding my time
Like a cellar of wine
With two faces
You'll never be true"

His girlfriend is two-faced because maybe she has cheated on Conor as well?? And he's waiting for her
to change because at this point.. she'll never be true.

"One witness (one witness)
One witness
Is all that I need
One witness (one witness)
One witness
Just someone to see
One witness
To all that's been done
One witness
Whose eyes will not run
Just someone to shout
In this big, empty house
One witness
To mourn for our love"

All he needs is one person to see what has happened to said relationship and mourn for whats been lost

"Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
Between you and me
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
The glory and the tragedy
Ten women
To trust and betray
Ten women
I want you the same
It will be like it's been
If you come home again
With ten women
Who have all gone away"

the last verse says it all, he still wants her and he's telling her if you come home, we can be like we were again, the ten women have all gone away, they meant nothing to me!

Conor Oberst – Big Black Nothing Lyrics 16 years ago
this part:
"board up the windows
unplug the phone
make it look like nobodies home
I am very scared
but so prepared for the worst"

its very strange that i just heard this song today as last night i had a dream that i lived in a country
where my family was not allowed anymore, but my baby sister died (i dont have a baby sister in real life)
so we went back to our old house secretly because we figured she deserved to be buried in our city
but was had to board the basement windows and keep the blinds shut and the lights off, so that no one
would know we were there. and we were very scared of the guards finding us.

but i love this song i have a feeling its kind of referring to death?? maybe.

Maria Taylor – Time Lapse Lifeline Lyrics 17 years ago
Also instead of "I get up, I get up" it sounds like "Back it up" which might make more sense with "stop, fast-forward, rewind."

Keep in mind, they've been an on-and-off couple. She very well could have written this in the midst of one of her and Oberst's more serious breaks.

Elliott Smith – Junk Bond Trader Lyrics 17 years ago
junk is another word used for heroin
if this......

"A stickman flashing a fine-line smile
Junk bond trader trying to sell a sucker a style
Rich man in a poor man's clothes
The permanent installment of the daily dose"

........doesn't scream drugs i don't know what does.

Conor Oberst – White Shoes Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this is him telling this person that he loves them and accepts whatever they want to do or whatever path in life that they choose to take. And whatever they want to do, he's okay with it.

This song is absolutely beautiful and at the show my friend went to he said Conor started crying halfway through the song, so maybe it's a bit deeper than I explained it above.
