| Why? – Strawberries Lyrics

Does anybody know what he's saying in the last lines on the demo version? I can't quite make it out.
"But despite me I feel ???
I'm likely not the right me" |

If you break the phrase "(There is) real peace in the regular order" into three lines like it's spaced in the song, this song has 27 lines. |

| The Hold Steady – The Sweet Part of the City Lyrics

|
I think the oohs at "We like to play for you" is highly reminiscent of the opening guitar on Stuck Between Stations. I don't know if it was meant to be this way or not, but I love it. |

The sample at the end of the song is from True Stories, a movie directed by David Byrne. A friend just showed it to me, and I freaked when I recognized those lines. |

| Jason Isbell – Streetlights Lyrics

|
I love the intentional drunkism "I think I blocked just a park away."
"So I order one more double and start calling people back." I've been here before. To hear it put across in lyrics was amazing. |

| The Old 97s – Won't Be Home Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
I'm pulling off the road I'm opening the door
I'm giving you the pavement I'm telling you what for
You're no more than a thought, you're no more than a thought
And you're getting smaller in my rear view mirror
You're getting smaller in my rear view mirror
you're getting smaller |

At the first DBT show I went to, Patterson Hood introduced this song by saying:
"This is a song about how rock and roll kept me from killing a bunch of mother fuckers in high school." |

The thing I think I like most about the Drive-By Truckers... They don't sugar coat anything. Everybody I've seen listen to this song shuddered at least once during the song. Wow. |

| Sarah Harmer – Lodestar Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
That's a good thought...
Personally, I like to sing this when I get out on the canoe. How would you phrase the "oil like water" part?
The water is like oil?
The way the oar dips in is like in oil?
That's the only part that confuses me. |

This one always makes me think... Uniform Grey as in... a grey uniform? Or uniform grey as in... everything is grey. It's a grey area I guess. |
