| Andrew Bird – Measuring Cups Lyrics | 14 years ago |

"a tale that's rather grim and gory" and "when the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed" Probably one of my favourite lines ever. |

| The first line "I wasn't afraid, I was a boy, I was a tender age" is so utterly beautiful | |

| Mogwai – I Chose Horses Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I loved this song before I read these translations. So relaxing, and even though I didn't know what the Japanese meant, it still sounded so powerful. But wow, these lyrcs are amazing too |

| Modest Mouse – The Stars Are Projectors Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The lines: "That was hiding in a math equation and that's this: WHERE DO CIRCLES BEGIN?" connect so many ideas into one perfect image. 3rd Planet - "The Universe is shaped exactly like the Earth, if you go straight along enough you'll end up where you where" CIRCLES. Never Ending Math Equation (Off of the album Building Nothing Out Of Something) - "The Universe works on a math equation than never even ever really has any end." CIRCLES. The idea that creation and life is one giant circle, is such a powerful and clever one. That's the best I've got, really |

| Modest Mouse – Baby Blue Sedan Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is my favourite song on Building Nothing Out of Something - it's utterly phenomenal. The simple guitar, Isaac's singing, and I get goosebumps every time the chorus comes up. It's just lyrical genius. | |
