| The Mountain Goats – Quito Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
"When I receive the blessing I've got coming" is a concise way to express the narrator's psychological state.
However, I have no idea what "Those few who've slipped the surly bonds" means. |

dull and wicked is such a great pair of words.
This song is totally about the part of a relationship when you want to get out but feel like you can't. |

| The National – The Geese of Beverly Road Lyrics

I think this song is about turning 23 years old. Because the world glimmers when you're 23, you're invincible and all the women are like waitresses to you. And car alarms. All the cars are car alarms waiting to be tripped. |

Man this song got even better when I read the lyrics. This song is all about getting sweatty with semi-disinterested women.
I have no friends named Sally but I want some. |

This song uses the words "awesome" and "totally" a lot, which is cool because I use those words a lot too. It also uses the word "genius." I'm a genius too so that makes this song even better. |

| Andrew Bird – Fake Palindromes Lyrics

the counterbalance between these two pairs:
she's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you
she's got blood in her eyes for you
=and=
and i'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
and drill a tiny hole into your head
is just astounding. It works on so many levels. |

| The Shins – The Past And Pending Lyrics

"your name on my cast" -- elliot smith reference (no. name #5, "got a broken heart and your name on my cast")?
also, I think the words in the chorus might be
"feet to the sun, turns into moon dousing an ancient torch" . . . |

hey eyehaverabies -- what's the fun of posting lyrics if they're already in the notes? trying to figure out what the fuck those rock stars say into the mic is one of the best games you can play with your ears . . . try it sometime. |

love how it plays with the first song on the album, "we always knew" . . . the turn at the end sends chills down my spine ( "i never knew" in that faint weak voice ). deceit in manner and form, expressed on many levels. |

i always thought he said "bucket full of beer" -- i thought Mangum was talking about my rampant beer-drinking problem, and I wondered how he would have gotten that information. |

my sister knows a guy back in portland with part of the third stanza tatooed on his chest. i didn't even find out she liked nmh until i went back home a month ago -- we both started listening to the band at the same time. |

| Neutral Milk Hotel – Song Against Sex Lyrics

"That flew right out from this hands" should be "That flew right out from _his_ hands" . . . besides that, this is one of my first favorite NMH songs. it's Mangum's anti-drug song, believe it or not -- the lyrics are so dense you can find so much more to look at, though. |
