Jenny Wilson – Lika A Fading Rainbow Lyrics 13 years ago
Isn't it something like "no pockets full of grains of crumbs of wheat, the cake that's soft and sweet?

That's closer to what I hear.

Reminds me of Cinderella.

Feist – How Come You Never Go There Lyrics 14 years ago
From the actual album's poster:

how come you never go there?
how come I'm so alone there?

I went up to the window
Lighting banging on the cymbals
I ripped into the night
Came storm into your house

The horse had worked the fields too long
My bear had lost its innate calm
It's true enough we're not at peace
But truth is never what it seems

My heart is not the light it was
And when I walk inside the dark I'm gone
So while we look for where it went
It's only echoes in the valley love

Why waste time on blame and wreak revenge
Waste energy on projections
We're living proof we gotta let go
And stop looking through the halo

We carry on as if the time is through
You carry on as if I don't love you
And so we find the way is out
To cut the heart out of the doubt now

The room's full but hearts are empty
Like the letters never sent me
Words are like a lasso
But you're an instrumental tune

How come you never go there?
How come I'm so alone there?

Yeah I don't know what's going on, I've tried to correct all the mistakes and edit all the suggestions and all that, it won't let me, and it says: lyrics powered by LyricFind.
LyricFind, you don't know what you're talking about.

Land of Talk – Some Are Lakes Lyrics 15 years ago
oh, and they met at a lake.

and yes, she says "some are lakes", you know... still there after 40 years or something.

Land of Talk – Some Are Lakes Lyrics 15 years ago
yeah, she said it's about her parent's still loving each other after 40 years.
So it's kind of about their love but from their own perspective, as if it were her father singing it.

Damien Rice – Elephant Lyrics 16 years ago
Well I don't think he's referring to an ex-girlfriend, or to another woman at all. I think he's referring to the same girl's other personality; it's either very literal, as in maybe she's crazy and really changes her character (I don't know, schizophrenia?), or maybe he means that she's always changing around him, acting in two different ways, as if she had two personalities (but not literally).

He's saying, "this has got to stop, with someone else on top", like maybe he wants the nicest part of her to take over...

I think it makes sense. Or maybe it's just cause I relate.

St. Vincent – The Strangers Lyrics 16 years ago

makes sense.

Camera Obscura – Swans Lyrics 16 years ago
thanks!
"dodged a deer" makes a lot more sense though. Who has touched a deer? oh well.

St. Vincent – The Strangers Lyrics 16 years ago
Lover, I don't play to win,
Befall the thrill until I'm spent

Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

I threw flowers in your face
On my sisters wedding day

Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

You showed up with a black eye
Looking to go start a fight

Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

Playboys under the mattress
Like I wouldn't notice

Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

What do I share
What do I keep
From all the strangers who sleep where I sleep

Desperate don't look good on you
Neither does your virtue

Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

Good souls have won better sons,
Better souls grow worse ones (?)

What do I share
What do I keep
From all the strangers who sleep where I sleep

You showed up with a black eye
Looking to finish a fight

Lover, I don't play to win
Befall the thrill until I'm spent

Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

okay, any suggestions? I'm not really sure about the first two stanzas.

Camera Obscura – My Maudlin Career Lyrics 16 years ago
I hear:

"we were love at first sight
now this crush, it's crushing
I chased your steps through the city of romance lazily,
I took to the desert with your heart, she (?) and deceives me"

I definitely do not hear:
"Now we're in love again
And you're wherevers"


she says something else, don't know what.

then I think it's
"now I've been wearing your feelings,
like they were worth protecting"

and maybe it's "I embrace" instead of "I'll brace"... not sure.
