Jacques Brel – Amsterdam Lyrics 16 years ago
Finally, they drink to the ladies who give their pretty bodies, who give their virtue, for a piece of gold, and when they're very drunk, point their noses to the sky, and piss as I cry over unfaithful women. So you think this is about sexual frustration?

Headlights – Owl Eyes Lyrics 16 years ago
Also, isn't it "will make the world a better place to run to." You settle into a nice place or life that's good to run to. That's what I heard. Could just be hearing what I want to hear.

Headlights – January Lyrics 16 years ago
This song makes me feel so romantic. Like walking through the snow on a winter night to sit by a fireplace with a pretty girl.

The Decemberists – O Valencia! Lyrics 16 years ago
Well, I saw the video and it's the singer's girlfriend who's shot. They're staying at a place called Hotel Valencia, though it could also be the town they're in.

The Decemberists – The Engine Driver Lyrics 16 years ago
Did anyone think it could just be about an author who gets too caught up in the characters he makes up and starts living them. He can't rid them from his bones, so his stories about them just go on and on because he's never satisfied with these stories and just can't let go? The if you don't love me line could be people's reactions to the characters that are so much a part of/reflection of the author.

That was my thought upon hearing it myself, but now I see the majority opinion also makes sense.
