Bombay Bicycle Club – How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep? Lyrics 14 years ago
Official lyrics, straight from the book:

Can I wake you up, can I wake you up
Is it late enough? Is it late enough?
There's a story in which my eyes shut
Would you back me up? Would you back me up?

I'm thinking 'back' as well.

Volcano Choir – Still Lyrics 15 years ago
Well, a still is used to make homemade alcohol, so it basically means:

I'm in the woods.
I'm sad.
I'm making booze.
To get drunk.

But the way Justin writes it, it's a bit more elegant.

and it's definitely "tell me what to do" rather than "don't know what to do"

Tokyo Police Club – First Date Kit Lyrics 15 years ago
I think every time Dave says "lately I'm a good news guy," Luke says "lately I been a good news guy." Probably not very important, just something I noticed.

I believe it's:

call her up, she stays in
grinding down her medicine

and

her specialty's anything
but lately she's a first aid kit

It seems like the plans for dawn thing does make sense, seeing as he's discussing staying up late and nights and days being the same.

Tokyo Police Club – Bambi Lyrics 15 years ago
here's what I got, some minor corrections:

I wanna tell you there's a really good reason
why I came home wasted in the middle of the night
a tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees
where I was always a winner and I was usually right

oh, you can watch it when you get a bit older
but for now in the bad bits, I should cover your eyes
she painted pictures with the tips of her fingers
sewing buttons to Bambi, tying strings to a kite

turning into black and white
underneath the swinging lights
buried awake
but I still got my stripes
'cause you're the killer with the colored kite

I wanna tell you there's a really good reason
why I came down easy, spinning threads to your throne
a tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees
where I was always a winner and I was barely alone

turning into black and white
underneath the swinging lights
buried awake
but I still got my stripes
'cause you're the killer with the colored kite

tangled up to untie
don't know what to do
tangled up to untie
don't know what to do

turning into black and white
underneath the swinging lights
buried awake
but I still got my stripes
'cause you're the killer with the colored kite

turning into black and white

The Morning Benders – All Day Day Light Lyrics 15 years ago
here's what I got:

what can only be here
get too hot and can't go on
I grew up in a town much different than this one
where the language is upside down

so we can't talk about it
try your best to stay awake
I been digging so long I don't know which hole I should take

but you put me on this vacation
this was really not the time
it's winter halfway across the world
somewhere it's bright daylight

and somewhere someone sails the ocean
somewhere someone's telling the seas
somewhere someone's calling out my name
somewhere they can't see me
they can't see me

I lived in the background
I sleep behind the scenes
I had someone take all my calls
and watched them outplay me

and I can't believe what you're hearing
I can't believe what you said
I can't believe I can't find this damn address
before I drop dead

and somewhere someone sails the ocean
somewhere someone's running the streets
somewhere someone's calling out my name
somewhere they're looking for me

The Morning Benders – Mason Jar Lyrics 15 years ago
stuck in a mason jar
where I sealed up my heart
I take it out once a week
to donate to charity

and through my old grey eyes
I watch the colors change in the sky
as the world slowly turns
and they all collapse

don't hear them knocking at the door
you forgive the one thing
they just want more
don't hear a word they try to say
so do us a favor and go on your own way

and all my pictures fall apart
and all my dogs have lost their bark
while the leaves quickly change and leave me in their waste

and I know I do it to myself
yes, I know I do it to myself
old spirits hold tight
but jump in when the temperature's right

don't hear them knocking at the door
you forgive the one thing
they just want more
don't hear a word they try to say
so do us a favor and go on your own way
(on your own way)

The Morning Benders – Promises Lyrics 15 years ago
this spirit is holding us down
pushing our shoulders in deep
pulling us through the lines
toasting our backs in the sun
and I'm waiting to hear my next call
we got all our ears pressed against the wall!

But now our gaze is set straight
we're seeing it all eye to eye,
the balance is still chasing after,
Just hanging on as we walk by.

Circa Survive – Glass Arrows Lyrics 15 years ago
Stay as still as
you think you should be
Your stolen memories
will find you
in the last place
you would think to look
All the time that it took to locate
Maybe it’ll just pass by you
or rip right through your heart
Underneath the surface
we break apart

Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?

Underneath the surface
none of us deserve this
Underneath the surface we break apart

Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?

I don’t want excuses
I don’t want apologies

Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?

Vampire Weekend – Giant Lyrics 16 years ago
This doesn't even make any sense. What I've got:

it was all a dream
I used to read Thrasher magazine
looking at pictures of skateboarders
California
so envy me
S.O.S. LAPD
docking the yacht in such low waters
(?)

now it's a different game
80% still agree:
they're winning 'cause it pleases God
we're losing 'cause (?)

at the duty-free
gifts are wine and Hennessy
beautifully made with such fine water
Robert Smithson
and an ancient sea
spiral cheddar baby cheese
leaving the rocks with such black (?)
Coliseum

now it's a different game
80% still agree:
they're winning 'cause it pleases God
we're losing 'cause (?)

now it's a different game
80% still agree:

there are a few references to money so, I'm going to guess that it's actually 'change in rolls,' as in rolls of quarters and whatnot, perhaps for laundry or parking.
