Courtney Barnett – Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go to the Party Lyrics 10 years ago
Who hasn't experienced the feeling described in the chorus of this amazing song...
First time I heard it, last year @Glastonbury, I was just enthralled by its sheer energy. Then I read the lyrics and couldn't help but smile with the Oasis wink ("definitely maybe")

It's a debate between two people (it can absolutely be an inside-of-your-mind discussion), one of whom wants to go out a lot, and the other one who just want to stay home. The tongue-in-cheek humor CB has always demonstrated is here at its best with lines like "You say You sleep when you're dead, I'm scared I'll die in my sleep"

Love it

The White Stripes – White Moon Lyrics 12 years ago
me too! that cymbal falling has always caught my attention and it kind of composes the whole atmosphere for this song. It reminds me that this is an actual musician just playing a song, "the real thing"

Jack White – Machine Gun Silhouette Lyrics 13 years ago
With the 7'' vinyl I received a postcard with a really weird e-mail conversation between Jack and Rob Jones, whose last message is Jack saying "hey, there are some really nice lines in there, I used them for a song". And it's this song. A conversation about auctions and these things that are in the song.

Beck – Lazy Flies Lyrics 13 years ago
MOSCAS PEREZOSAS


Moscas perezosas se pasean por ahí,
el magistrado se pone los guantes
y mira las nubes
tan rosas y despeinadas,
tiene que haber unas huellas,
algún credo del demonio
inscripto en nuestras mentes...

Un juego detestable
se desvanece en el aire.
La vanidad de los esclavos,
¿quién quiere estar ahí
para levantar la mierda,
para enjaezar caballos muertos,
para montar en el sol
una vida de confesiones
escritas en el polvo...?

Allá en los manglares
las gráculas religiosas lloran.
En las sombras de azufre
los barcos pesqueros flotan a la deriva
mascando carne resecada
en una casa de mala reputación,
el polvo de los opiáceos
y los pacientes sifilosos
en vacaciones de paquete turístico.

El miedo tiene un resplandor
que te atrapa como un farol.
Los puritanos se quedan mirando
(sus almas son fluorescentes).
La piel de un robot
vibra de placer.
Las matronas y los gigolos
hablan como borrachos en el porche,
sus ojos, como granadas,
inválidos y ciegos...

Un juego detestable
se desvanece en el aire.
La vanidad de los esclavos,
¿quién quiere estar ahí
para levantar la mierda,
para enjaezar caballos muertos,
para montar en el sol
una vida de confesiones
escritas en el polvo...?

Loose Fur – Laminated Cat Lyrics 13 years ago
I love the first two verses of the chorus:
"Candy left over from Halloween
A unified theory of everything"

It's like what's clearly not important and utterly material (and even traditional, as the Halloween festivity in the USA) can develop into a metaphysical riddle -just because the day is cloudy and you're sitting in front of the TV doing nothing.
The song articulates that two registers, the little everyday stuff and the elaborated thoughts, as seasons pass.
