Thurston Moore – Honest James Lyrics 13 years ago
This is just a shot in the dark, but I think Thurston is talking about the bible (King James version).

A "friendly tongue" that pushes away the devil's generally crappy powers.

Broken Social Scene – Almost Crimes Lyrics 13 years ago
I have no what this song is about, as the lyrics are very strange and the meaning schizophrenic and unclear, but it kind of reminds me of The Velvet Underground's "The Murder Mystery."

Kevin Drew's voice starts really melodic, orderly and triumphant at the beginning of the song and then kind of fizzles out at the end into chaotic, robotic nonsense-land, and sounds kind of like the guys in the background of the Velvet Underground song. Feist remains who she is.

Neat sounding tune, crazy lyrics.

Broken Social Scene – Art House Director Lyrics 13 years ago
This is one of my favorites from Forgiveness Rock Record. I like Kevin Drew's character-based songs. Some of the lyrics seem kind of satirically biblical.

Does art imitate life, or is it the other way around?

It's about the Flying Dutchman.

Just kidding, I think lingeron is right. Truthfully, this song made me tear up the first time I heard it.

Broken Social Scene – Looks Just Like The Sun Lyrics 13 years ago
I love this song. The guy Kevin Drew is singing about kind of reminds me of Kim Gordon's friend in the Sonic Youth song "Goo." They both just stand and stare. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that.

Jack Kerouac, beat-nesque.

I think it's "treat me like a sound"

Sonic Youth – Schizophrenia Lyrics 13 years ago
I like this song. Not sure if these are the official lyrics but it almost sounds like Kim Gordon is saying "Your future is stag" instead of "My future is static" in the spoken word part of the song.
Either way the line makes sense for the song I guess.

Slow Club – The Dog Lyrics 13 years ago
If the true lyrics are printed or legally released by the band, I would recommend capitalizing the word "He"

Charles is just singing about a friend he's known for a really long time.

Broken Social Scene – Chase Scene Lyrics 13 years ago
Lisa Lobsinger came down from Heaven, or Canada, I forget which, and told me the correct lyrics to this song are a bit elusive. Here are some proposed corrections:


To be bled or fed in the spread of equal wrong talking
to be bled or fell in the spell of people wrong talking

Bought me some land and a beautiful plot with a hot who was not to be got by easy thinking thumbing
Maf'd me some love and a beautiful dog with a hot who was not to be got by geezy thinking thumbing

Down with the deed of killing a wife
Down with the deed of killing your wife

It's both (scene AND seed)

Broken Social Scene – Cause = Time Lyrics 14 years ago
I believe that the true meaning of this song is unfathomable that no one would believe me if I wrote the whole thing.

Among other things, it's about a person who is being punished by the society of _________ry for having a daughter out of wedlock with a woman of 'questionable character.' They wanted the person to be innocent / virgin for a certain time in history. Killing his innocence (having sex with him) would bring this person back down to earth, clear him of his fake suspected charges, make him mortal, and give him a normal life again.

"cue a mortal child by time
separation is divine
here is a strike beneath your knees"

Most adoption laws prevent the father from ever knowing / meeting the child for fear that the child may go to the father for money. If all worked out, the goal would be to have a common law family of three (girlfriend, daughter, father). It's a tragic story.

Look for the number 5 in other broken social scene song lyrics.

children sleep with dicks is an example of 'word salad.' Can't speak for the girl, but the guy they're singing about is schizophrenic.
