Sonic Youth – Junkie's Promise Lyrics 16 years ago
"...you know that I know yeah that times are rough
I'd like to help you out but things are rather tough
people always tell me that you've got to lend a helping hand
nothing in return is all I expect from you my friend"

This just reminds me of a whole group of friends that I've just recently stopped hanging around. It's like every time they needed help, I'd be there to loan them money. But the moment I needed a favor, it was like they were deaf to my calls. So to me, this song hits a giant chord. The junkie promise is to be a lying, selfish, unreliable "friend".


Makes me want to ask for some of that money back, but I know that all of theirs is going in their veins

Dinosaur Jr. – Sludgefeast Lyrics 16 years ago
Definately about trying to pick up a girl but the line "these guts are killing, but I can't stop now" makes me think he's drinking to gain the courage to talk to this girl, but by that time he's too much of a mess, and she doesn't want anything to do with him. Maybe?
