Fleet Foxes – Sim Sala Bim Lyrics 14 years ago
I believe the line "carving off the hair of someone's young" is a continuation of the previous two lines. I think it refers to using hair as an ingredient in a magical potion.

Salt poured on land also prevents things from growing again.

Bon Iver – Beach Baby Lyrics 15 years ago
Couple corrections:

1). I believe it's "But don't you lock when you're fleeing. I'd like not to hear keys."
2). It's "Once a time" and "clicking heels."

The Tallest Man on Earth – Over the Hills Lyrics 15 years ago
Well, I could hear it when the rivers crying
And I could see it through the fog
And I could reach into magnetic fields now
To steal a hammer and a gun
For every engine down
Yes, I will find a new
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going into the blue

And I will tell it to the mighty wind that
I have betrayed it once again
And I will listen to the backwards music
With a propeller in my hand
For every child in tears
I will throw down a hand
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going over as planned

And every morning I will push
And bring the sun above our head
And with a smiling face I do upon it
I will consider it as sin
That every lie I tell
Will arrive like it's true
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going into the blue

Oh, honey!

And I will hijack every morning railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon that train
Perhaps I'll turn the wheel to slide it over
Into the long and narrow trade
And I would bounce the moon
On the earth if I could
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going over now for good

Sufjan Stevens – A Loverless Bed (Without Remission) Lyrics 16 years ago
I think we're missing a big piece of the song here.
These lines have not yet been addressed.

"And I close my eyes
To everything you've rearranged
And I close my mind
To everything you've kept the same
Put the axle on and roll again"

I've always seen these lines as being addressed to God. I think this is saying that God is always changing some things and keeping others constant and when we're going through difficult times it is hard to recognize or accept this.

I think that the narrator is speaking to God in the last line as well. I think "To the woman you've turned red again" means that God has ended this relationship, making this woman single.

Frightened Rabbit – Poke Lyrics 16 years ago
Their arms were intertwined at night. They tied a knot with them. A navy knot apparently.

Frightened Rabbit – Poke Lyrics 16 years ago
I love the line "I'd say she was his sister, but she doesn't have his nose."
It tells me that people may not know that they were in an intimate relationship ("navy knot with arms at night"), but they still can pick up that they are somehow connected.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Contender Lyrics 16 years ago
I think there are a few more lines in the first verse.

Look what you've done
Look what you've done
What do you have now?
Things that never come
Another name in a dirty room
Is it time to come down?

Broken Social Scene – Late Nineties Bedroom Rock for the Missionaries Lyrics 16 years ago
I'm pretty sure seventeen/halfalive is right. There's a really soft voice in the background saying "All night long." Seems pretty clear to me.
