R.E.M. – West Of The Fields Lyrics 14 years ago
I think "..the animals" part is correct. I believe Stipe was referring to the "Try to stick it in" part in the video.

Sloan – Unkind Lyrics 14 years ago
The meaning of this one is pretty obvious. I think we have all known someone that would "suck the life out of the room" with their presence.

Sloan – Dreaming Of You Lyrics 14 years ago
fromadistantsun, I think you hit the nail on the head. I think the lyrics are from the point of view of a college professor who is attracted to a 19 year old student. He also references 'next September' and "I wonder if a year or two will matter..".

John Mellencamp – Walk Tall Lyrics 15 years ago
"The simple minded
And the uninformed
Can be easily led astray"

So those who don't agree with Mellencamp's world view are simple minded and uninformed. Gotcha. Pompous ass.

The ballad of a fickle woman who relishes being in charge of a relationship with a guy that is a doormat.

Miranda Lambert – Dead Flowers Lyrics 15 years ago
From her website: Lambert got the inspiration to write the song from a personal experience. “I had some flowers that I got for Valentines Day in a vase on the kitchen table. I was going on the road so I had to throw them in the yard. They were just laying there and it was a really sad image. The song came to me right away and was one of those ones that kinda wrote itself.”

Miranda Lambert – Desperation Lyrics 15 years ago
To me, it is about being in love and in a relationship with someone and being terrified that they are just going through the motions. It is about looking into their eyes and feeling that something is missing on their part. A terrible feeling.

After listening many, many times I think it is:

The animals how strange
Try this trick and change
The animals how strange
Try the trick and....

I think that is definitely more likely than "try to stick it in".

He definitely makes a "str.." sound. On the first go around. It sounds like "try to sleep in...." on the second go around. The sleep reference jives well with the rest of the song. I have been trying to figure this part out all morning.
