| Kimya Dawson – Singing Machine Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| So beautiful. | |
| An Angle – Today I Saw Your Face Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Wow, these lyrics are awful. This is the worst Bright Eyes rip off I have ever heard. As if I needed another reason to hate Drive Thru records! | |
| Bright Eyes – Contrast and Compare Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is a very good song. The original version is wonderful, but I actually prefer the "Making Words Work mix" that was done by Her Space Holiday on a Bright Eyes/Her Space Holiday Split cd. Everyone should check it out. |
|
| Cursive – Adapt Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is absolutely amazing. | |
| Azure Ray – Don't Make a Sound Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is my favorite Azure Ray song. It's absolutely gorgeous. | |
| The Good Life – After O'Rourke's, 2:10 A.M. Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
There's a mistake. "I hate it when you come so lonely after the bar" is actually, "I hate it when you CALL so lonely after the bar." |
|
| Bright Eyes – A New Arrangement Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| veisalgia, I know what you mean. I listened to it for hours the first time I heard it. It's absolutely amazing, and so damn beautiful. | |
| The Lyndsay Diaries – Where the Sidewalk Ends Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Yeah, this band sucks but the song title is the name of a children's poetry book by Shel Silverstein. | |
| The Good Life – Entertainer Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Holy crap, I love Tim Kasher. Everything he does is simply amazing. |
|
| Bright Eyes – Something Vague Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| starvingeyes33, that's what I was thinking. Tim and Conor often allude to eachother in songs, and write about similar things. I don't think it's a direct reference, but something that comes from them being very good friends. But that's just my thought. | |
| Arab Strap – Afterwards Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Arab Strap has some of the most oddly sexy lyrics ever. | |
| The Good Life – For the Love of the Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song just breaks my heart. It seems like he thinks that his albums are the just same thing over and over again. Like he doesn't know how fucking brilliant he is. This is probably one of my favorite songs of all time. |
|
| The Good Life – Always a Bridesmaid Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Wow, I'm so surprised that only one person has commented on this song! It's self-explanitory, but absolutely wonderful. I'm convinced that Tim Kasher can do no wrong. |
|
| The Good Life – Friction! Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is just amazing. | |
| The Good Life – O'Rourke's, 1:20 A.M. Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"Your eyes can't disguise it... so glassy, half empty. Ready to spill." "I can hardly stand- much less the sight of myself." Tim Kasher is a clever, clever man. |
|
| Jason Mraz – Love Is Real Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Yeah, it's not really "adapted" by Jason, because it's the same exact song. It's a cover. And the original version is so much better. It's sung with more passion and it's just so honest. Listening to this version just bores me. |
|
| Murder by Death – Intergalactic Menopause Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I kind of wish they would have kept the name Little Joe Gould. It's wonderful. If I'm not mistaken, it comes from a poem by e.e. Cummings. Great poem, too. All well, Murder by Death is good as well. |
|
| Bright Eyes – The Calendar Hung Itself . . . Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
After the "You make me happy" lines, he doesn't say "hey" in the background. He's saying, "Right?" You can hear it very clearly live. |
|
| Cursive – Sierra Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think the carpenter reference means that he wants to be the father in the family. A husband and father is known to fix the things around the house and be the sort of "carpenter". He wants to be their carpenter, the leader in their lives, and he wants them to be his everything. His star. Pretty much, it means that he wants them to be a family. |
|
| Cursive – The Recluse Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Yeah, that "lovely answers" thing needs to be fixed. It's definitely "ugly answers." | |
| Rilo Kiley – Jenny, You're Barely Alive Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It is "help me out." | |
| Rilo Kiley – Jenny, You're Barely Alive Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It is "help me out." | |
| Cursive – The Radiator Hums Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I absolutely love the live version of this song. Instead of "When you're selfish, I just love you even more," he says "When you're selfish, I wanna fuck you even more." It's also slower and played on piano. Amazing. |
|
| Cursive – The Casualty Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Most Cursive songs have a theme of alcoholism. Tim is known to be quite the drunk. | |
| Cursive – Sinner's Serenade Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is such an amazing song. Tim Kasher is so talented. It's ridiculous. | |
| Metric – Hardwire Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
These are the correct lyrics: Giving the chances to leave the basement life, another landlord's wife, Furnished room, celebrate the first flight window bird's eye view You, hardwired, I'll try to play the guitar Stay focused on the first boring morning though we both see it coming, we don't run. Let the silence settle in our bones You are everything you are nothing at all You are every night you fade to light the room Daylight lights(hides( a new one on you. Giving the chances to take it all in stride while we walk a broken line, a line of signs You, hardwired, I'll try to play the guitar Stay focused on the last boring morning though we both see it coming, we don't run. Let the silent settle in our bones You leave your eyes there for me to memorize I can see you happy in the shadows I despise |
|
| Metric – White Gold Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
These are the correct lyrics: Piss poor, riding high, sunbathing fireside. We're here for the porn or the sirloin Get your T-bone, let your backbone slide, tunnel and sky collide Lose friends to the airwaves and the airlines I want to make it right, some future in my eyes (bright) Hush don't explain when you water down my name I'll be up too late, call me when you get better at your game You haven't beat me yet. The waitress, the actress has got the skin and the bones With the hairbrush and an air brush she'd be white gold. She asked the piss poor "Why are you looking for that party in the sky? It's just a movie about a movie, too old to die" I'm going to make it right You haven't beat me yet though my vision is strained. |

| Say Anything – Alive with the Glory Of Love Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
These lyrics are incorrect and missing lines. Here's the correct version: Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh ahhhh... When i watch you, wanna do you, right where you're standing, ya... Right on the foyer, on this dark day, right in plain view...OH ya... Of the whole ghetto, the boot-stomped meadows, but we ignore that..ya.. You're lovely baby, this war is crazy, i won't let you down, OH NO..noo No, I wont let them take you, wont let them take you, Hell no no, oh no, i wont let them take you, wont let them take you, Hell no no no oh no no no And when our city, vast and shitty, falls to the axis, ya... They'll search our buildings, collect gold fillings, wallets, and rings..Oh ya.. But Miss Black Eyeliner, You'd look finer, with each day in hiding, oh ya.. Beneath the wormwood, oooh love me so good, they won't hear us screw away the day I'll make you say noo I won't let them take you, won't let them take you (Alive, Alive, Alive with glory alive with glory) Hell no no, whoa no, i wont let them take you, wont let them take you, hell no no Now Treblinkah is alive with the glory of love Treblinkah alive with glory of love yea (Okay, speed it up now) Should they catch us, and dispatch us to those separate work camps I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you with the passing of time, oh ya.. Should they kill me, your love will fill me as warm as the bullets, ya.. I'll know my purpose, this war was worth it, i won't let you down no i wont no i wont no i wont (alive) (alive with love, alive with love) Hell no no, whoa no, i wont let them take you, wont let them take you Hell no no....no, no, |

| Snow Patrol – How to Be Dead Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Women can be gay too. It's called a lesbian. And I've read it over again, thanks. Still nothing about being gay. | |
| Xero – Rhinestone (Forgotten demo) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It wasn't Chester. I believe the singer in these songs is a guy named Chris. | |
| Linkin Park – Crawling (Demo) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The line IS "fear is powerful". The lyrics are different, hence demo. |
|
| Commander Venus – My Other Car Is a Space Ship Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Actually, buddy, you need to get your facts straight. The high-pitched voice is most definitely Conor, not Tim. Tim sounds pretty much like he always has. Also, Conor was not 17. He was actually in Commander Venus from ages 13-15. So before you come here getting all defensive and huffy, do a little research. |
|
| Snow Patrol – How to Be Dead Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
illwear and battec, I'm not sure where you're getting this idea from... There isn't one lyric in the song that backs up that theory. I think you're just projecting, because you're gay. Which is awesome, but seriously, you're reaching. |
|
| From First to Last – X12 Days Of XXXMASX Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It's not serious. It's poking fun of scene kids. | |
| Stars – Death to Death Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is my favorite Stars song ever. | |
| P.O.D. – Abortion Is Murder Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Silly jesus freaks. How about it's your body, your life, and you should be able to have an abortion if your situation needs it. Oh, and god doesn't exist. |
|
| Action Action – Let's never go to sleep Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Wow, and I completely forgot to say that it goes with the song as well, because the qoute is, "When you have insomnia everything is a copy of a copy of a copy". He actually keeps saying "copy of a copy" throughout the book. It matches with the let's never go to sleep thing. Yeah. | |
| Action Action – Let's never go to sleep Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "A photocopy of a copy of a copy" reminds me of Fight Club. Maybe they like Chuck Palahniuk. | |
| Cursive – Sierra Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think that it was something more like, the man in the story was with the woman, and he found out she was pregnant and left because he didn't want to make that kind of commitment. But then as he sees the family, and another man taking his place, he wishes that he could have it back. And he wants to be her father, to leave his destructive past behind, but he knows that he was the one in the wrong and that he doesn't even deserve to be in her life. I also think that the "In the desert, where the cities are made of gold" part references Las Vegas. Maybe the mother, daughter, and new man live in an apartment in Vegas. |
|
| Cursive – Warped the Wood Floors Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Wow, it's crazy that no one has commented on this song. It's so amazing. | |
| Aqualung – Strange And Beautiful (I'll Put A Spell On You) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song fits so amazingly with Wicker Park, that it's almost as if they wrote the movie just to go along with the song. Who knows, maybe they did. I wouldn't blame them. Such a beautiful song. |
|
| The Good Life – What We Fall for When We're Already Down Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Some of the lyrics to this song are incorrect. "So now here's a punch in the eye It's so sudden and swift surprise" is supposed to be "Son, love is a punch in the eye. It's a sudden and swift surprise" His mother is talking, obviously. |
|
| The Shins – New Slang Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I've loved this song for a couple years as well, but I'm happy that it was in Garden State. I'm slightly obsessed with the movie, yes, so I'm a bit bias. But I'm glad it was in a really beautiful movie, and not some shitty movie made only to make money. The song goes perfectly with the scene, and movie altogether. They deserve a bit of recognition. | |
| The Good Life – Two Years This Month Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I really think that Tim did an amazing job on this song. He sings with no music behind him, and it still sounds perfect. I also like the scrambled bits of the other songs on the album at the beginning. It kind of sums them up as memories, and then he draws it all together with a gorgeous ending. | |
| P.O.D. – Abortion Is Murder Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Well, I hated P.O.D.'s shitty music to begin with, but this just makes me hate them more. | |
| Every Time I Die – She's My Rushmore Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love the lyrics to this song. And especially the title. Rushmore is such an amazing movie. | |
| Coldplay – Don't Panic Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Edit, I completely agree. The song went perfectly with that scene, and that entire movie. And about the feeling that you couldn't get over? I'm with you on that. Everytime I hear the song now, I just think of the scene with the drugs in the medicine cabinet, and his blank face. I get the chills. This song is beyond beautiful. |
|
| Something Corporate – Me And The Moon Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Dutch_angel, I'm not sure what you mean by "she doesn't get caught". It never really says if she does or not, but I'm assuming that she did because it never said otherwise. Also the line "But soon they'll be coming, to rush her away. No one's so sure if her crime had a reason" kind of tells me that she did get arrested, and that she had already accepted the fact that she was going to jail when she started fixing her dinner. She was pretty much just waiting for them to come. | |
| Modest Mouse – Beta Carotene Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Beta Carotene is in carrot's actually. It's the vitamin in them that helps your eyesight. | |
| Commander Venus – Refused by Light Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Oh god I love this song. Tim Kasher happens to be the greatest songwriter of all time. He and Conor make a good team. | |
