And obvious break up song. John always seems to preface this one by saying "What do you do when life hands you lemons? Write a really sad song about it." |

| Guster – Architects & Engineers Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I can agree with that and would add that it's a call to make your mark. Life is fleeting your won't be around forever "We are shooting stars" so do something that will leave a lasting impression much like an architect or an engineer designs something that lasts through the ages. | |

| You can hear him reading during the bridge... it's hard to hear what he's saying exactly. It's most clear around the 3:30 mark. | |

It's from The Pasty Tapes Volume 3. It's a cover of a Kinks song. |

Some corrections to the lyrics. 1st Verse: It's freezing cold tonight This little town is locked up tight And the din of Christmas lights It seems to set, the mood just right 2nd Verse: Things change as years go by And there's other things that keep me up at night I don't really care what I get this year Just what I might lose in time |

The lyrics here are close but not exact. Corrections: It's "On you mark and draw the X's on the eyes" rather than "On your malcom draw the Xs on the eyes" Also "No one's going to care or nothing" the or is missing in the above lyrics. It's "Under siege, on the attack Gone forever like the Darling Clementine Wrap your fingers in a fist Twist your lips into a kiss Cross your heart go into the open wide" Rather than "Oversee Johnny attack I'm forever like I'm done at plenty time Laugh your fingers in your fist Twist your lips into a kiss Cross your heart go into the open wild" It's "I'm by your side" rather than "And there I sigh" Final chorus is slightly different instead of "No one's going to care or nothing" its "No ones going to care at all." |

Great song probably my favorite on Easy Wonderful. Couple of corrections to the lyrics. It's "colors and shapes" in the first verse The end part is So the architects and the engineers Build the monuments Make the souvenirs We are occupants It's a trap this town We are burning up We are fading out We are shooting stars |

| Guster – That's No Way To Get To Heaven Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Correct lyrics are: One half of me is still shaking The other half is still waiting for a lover Walk down the water slide Look in my eyes show me a sign Some people swim in the gravy I'm sitting here and waiting for a lover Come down to the other side Look in my eyes tell me you're mine After the cut then comes the blood Falls to the dirt turns into mud From the soil we grow together That's no way to get to heaven And everyone thinks it's crazy Sitting here and we are waiting for a lover Step down the water slide Look in my eyes tell me your mine After the cut then comes the blood Falls to the dirt turns into mud From the soil we grow together That's no way to get to heaven It seems to be a pretty straight forward song about waiting to find someone you truly love. The "that's no way to get to heaven" line seems to make no sense with the rest of the song though. At least I can't figure it out. |

| Guster – Jesus And Mary Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I don't have the booklet but I'm pretty sure the correct lyrics are as follows. Come on dear friends Come gather round the mountain Drink from the fountain Tell your lovers it's time to go Tell them the tale when Sodom met Gomorrah The end days are coming The mothers send away the sons The drummers drum and the motors hum And the trumpet players make the chords The sound wakes devil down below Jesus and Mary and Juliet and Romeo In a movie on TV, plays seven days a week Turn off that radio we don't wanna hear about it anymore Kill or be killed, the hunters and the hunted Seems like we're running 2000 years and still under control So let's go start a war like FDR and Eleanor These were the ways of the men before The ammunition and, soldiers and guns Lovers love and the mourners mourn And the trumpet players blow the horn The sound wakes devil down below Jesus and Mary and Juliet and Romeo In a movie on TV, plays seven days a week Turn off that microphone we don't wanna talk about it anymore The sermon ends with a big Amen And the preachers take it door to door The sound shakes devil down below Jesus and Mary and Juliet and Romeo Are in a movie on TV, plays seven days a week Turn off that telephone we don't wanna know about it anymore So maybe let's go start a war I love the song by the way. It's a war song. But if you've seen the music video then the interpretation is changed slightly to be about the "feud" between Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolee over Brad Pitt. I rather like that interpretation. |

| Guster – Dear Valentine Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The listed lyrics are incorrect. Here is the correct lyrics. As I fall asleep, to black and white TV Fly far away, in my recurring dream Each winter drains electricity And there are words to say And there are songs to sing But I can hardly speak at all Home, I'm on my way to a holiday in real time Float hold my own weight, say we'll be OK Dear Valentine Now quietly we peek across the street Perfectly kept, perfectly neat But it's not complete, no not at all Home, I'm on my way to a holiday in real time Float hold my own weight, say we'll be OK Dear Valentine |
