Sun Kil Moon – Exit Does Not Exist Lyrics 15 years ago
this song is anything but upbeat, but a fine and very, very sad song

it's about someone looking at a photo with it's date printed on it
but can't remember the actual taking of the photo
(or they are looking at a photo one night at 7:20 pm)

supposing it's a girl who wrote the song
she sees the man with her in the photo looks out of breath
while she looks like she's faking some feeling

the does not exist, take an exit line, sounds eerie, the way it's sung

like she shouldn't be looking back at old pictures
of things that don't exist anymore

love the song

Wolfmother – Vagabond Lyrics 15 years ago
a man is lacking purpose, much like a vagabond, until he finds the answer in her eyes

he was either tired/bored of being free

or he is equating free to lonely

i saw the movie twice and remembered the song for weeks later

maybe it's about why someone would want to marry
they don't know why except that they want to avoid being lonely

also like the boy in the movie, he could see Summer in his future
and needed her to see him

best movie i've seen in a long time

Gorillaz – 19-2000 (Soulchild Remix) Lyrics 15 years ago
a very happy song
i'll go with kyofan and nuiman, it's about paths and images we choose,
following either our brains or our tails

kind of funny, too

the 19-2000 is also a little mysterious,
maybe it's just a way of counting,
1998, 1999, 192000,.... 192001
for those trying to stick around in the 1900's

Drive-By Truckers – 3 Dimes Down Lyrics 15 years ago
it was a straight shot....

could be a man tries to buy antiacid for 25 cts and he had 3
dimes, or 30 cents, in a machine that takes only quarters,

he's drinking and driving with 2 drunk girls in the back seat of his car,
one of them has to keep the other from sliding out the car's
window these would be the doublemint twins,

i also find the song's too short but also very visual and i loooove that it's upbeat
so the songwriter's wonders how he can stay out of jail for driving drunk
if a guy who's "important", can't get out of a jail sentence,
what's a guy like him gonna get for driving and drinkin,

.....screwed, or jailed, while the twin's puke damage his car's
paint

one other possible meaning is he was thinking of payin his way out of jail, by paying
the officer 300 instead of the 250 fine he'd have to pay in court, so the
officer would let him go

i really like the song's rhythm and some of the guitar in it

now, the previous comments really helped figuring out
what would happen if we try getting away from a parking ticket

maybe the straight shot was offering to pay the officer and then driving away so damn
fast, the girls began puking and the driver knows he gets jail to pay, plus 300 or
3000 fine, all it took was luck to not get caught but he did get caught

the line "come back baby, Rock and Roll never forgets" is sort of what the
officer would tell the driver, because he will remember the license plate...
