| Editors – Some Kind of Spark Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song is lovely... I feel like it's about someone who lost there house to a fire? Maybe to a war... but I think more just a fire, losing their whole life, all their possessions. But I feel like he is singing as maybe a friend or lover that the person ends up with after the fire, after they return from the hospital. This line gets me every time: "I don't care why you're here I'll unlock the door Pull you near" The idea that he doesn't care why they are there, he is happy to have them & gives them a hug upon seeing them. I think that visual is just perfect. |

| Editors – Lullaby Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I love this song! My guess is it's about nightmares... since it says he wakes up in the shivering cold. It's liek the saying "a ghost walks over your grave." perhaps this is similar, but it's the nightmares you have, or perhaps the nightmares you have when your always cold. Either way, fantastic! | |
| Florence + the Machine – Shake It Out Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Thanks for posting the lyrics! I was working on them as well. Only a few things I heard a bit different, any thoughts? Regrets collect like old friends Here to relieve your darkest moments I can see no way, I can see no way. And all of the goons come out to play Every demon wants his pound of flesh But I like to keep some things to myself I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn. And I've been a fool and I've been blind I can never leave the past behind I can see no way, I can see no way I'm always dragging that horse around All of his questions, such a mournful sound Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground Cause I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn Shake it out, Shake it out Shake it out, Shake it out Oh oh oh! Shake it out, Shake it out Shake it out, Shake it out Oh oh oh! It's hard to dance with a devil on your back So, shake him off! And I am done with my graceless heart so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn it's always darkest before the dawn Shake it out, Shake it out Shake it out, Shake it out Oh oh oh! Shake it out, Shake it out Shake it out, Shake it out Oh oh oh! It's hard to dance with a devil on your back So, shake him off! And you tried to dance with the devil on your back, Given half the chance Would I take any of it back? It's a fine romance but it's left me so impaired, It's always darkest before the dawn And I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hold It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat 'Cause looking for heaven found a devil in me Looking for heaven found a devil in me But why the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me? Shake it out, Shake it out Shake it out, Shake it out Oh oh oh! Shake it out, Shake it out Shake it out, Shake it out Oh oh oh! And you tried to dance with the devil on your back, So, shake him off! Shake it out, Shake it out Shake it out, Shake it out Oh oh oh! Shake it out, Shake it out Shake it out, Shake it out Oh oh oh! And you tried to dance with the devil on your back, So, shake him off! |

| Correct, because MBD reissued the album as "Murder By Death - Little Joe Gould LP" so the songs were switched over. | |
| Editors – I Want A Forest Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
How the hell has no one commented on this? This song is so exquisite. It seems to be about how, no matter what we are given, we want more. "I'm in God's Garden... I'll make it a forest." Even being it what some people who say was a perfect garden, he wants more. The bit about the clouds is a similar thing, everything moves to fast to see how perfect it is. How it shapes our life. I love this song. |

| Hercules and Love Affair – You Belong Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I almost think it's from the perspective of a lover who's partner is married & he is seeing her with her husband... | |
| Bombay Bicycle Club – How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep? Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It sounds like "could you back me up" not bag... | |
| Moby – Wait for Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I agree with both comments, but added it feels more like someone in love, but realizing they have messed up their life. It's not what they wanted to share with someone else & they are hoping the person they love will wait for them to try & fix it. Because the person they love sees they are damaged & has said they can't take much more. | |

| Yes, they did. She covered one of theirs & they covered one of hers on one of the Split Series albums. Amanda covered "Three Men Hanging". | |

| If you followed Trent & Mariqueen, this seems like a very poetic recounting of them announcing their engagement. | |
| Murder by Death – The Day Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Without the blocks: The trees gave up their up their roots And the lepers left their caves All the rattlesnakes came down from the mountain And the kings all became slaves On the day That my lord came The fire split the beams The wall's coming down The day my lord came The tears filled up my eyes The curtain has been drawn To lay to waste this land, to me It's like the beauty of the breakin' of the dawn And as a black hand swept across the earth I knew That that day came When the fish float on the water With their bellies up I'll know, I'll know That that day came All the rattlesnakes came down from the mountain And the kings all became slaves The trees gave up their up their roots from the earth And the lepers left their caves On the day That my lord came The coyotes left their dens The horses left to their stables And they bowed down to the ground Every creature that was able A blanket of moss will cover the earth And I'll know That the day came It's the shifting of the guard Time to start anew The old gods have all failed And their successors too My king, my king Will wipe the slate clean Houses become tombs My king, my king Will take the fruit of every single womb And make it his own My king, he is displeased To be forgotten and alone And the ones who came before Well the valley is filled With their bones I am the storm brewing up from the east From the west From every direction at once |

| Murder by Death – Yes Lyrics | 14 years ago |

You're mama's singin' with the angels (Let her go, let her go) Ya got no need to feel so guilty (Let her go, let her go) Yes, everyone comes and goes White in the head before you know Set things right before you go Let the people you love know You wake up feeling she's still with you (Let her go, let her go) But all you see's an empty room (Let her go, let her go) Yes, everyone comes and goes White in the head before you know Set things right before you go Let the people you love know You pressed your face against her headstone Offered up a prayer for others like her The trees were bare when mama left us Now they fruit and bloom On Sunday morning when the church bells ring And the laundry's flappin' in the southern breeze The choir's howlin' and your mama sings... Don't take it so hard Don't take it so bad Think of the good times That we had And now you follow in her footsteps Walk the same steps that she walked in Begged of gods both low and mighty That she might return You offer up the words But they just burn your tongue Yes, everyone comes and goes White in the head before you know Set things right before you go Let the people you love know Yes, everyone comes and goes White in the head before you know Make amends before it gets worse If the heartache don't get you first If the heartache don't get you first If the heartache don't get you first If the heartache don't get you first If the heartache don't get you first |
