| The Presidents of the United States of America – Ghosts Are Everywhere Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is a tribute to the late Morphine singer and bassist Mark Sandman. He and Chris played together and was the inspiration for Chris to use two strings. He said it was a tribute onstage at the April 2012 London gig, then again backstage when I asked him about it. |

| Sparklehorse – Saint Mary Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Linkous overdosed on something like whiskey, heroin and pills. He passed out in a position which cut off the blood supply to his legs. When he was finally found by paramedics they revived him and straightened out his legs which caused him to have a heart attack. He was treated in St. Mary's hospital and this song was written in sort of 'thanks' to the nurses and doctors who treated him. | |
| Primus – Too Many Puppies Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This song was actually written before the Gulf War, fyi. | |
| Mark Sandman – Devil's Boots Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Could almost be written by Tom Waits himself. | |
| Mark Sandman – Goddess Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I actually think it says "power fuck", upon a second listen. | |
| Mark Sandman – Goddess Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Am I the only one that hears the word 'fuck' in this song, perhaps: "He had a fuck for the self esteem..."? |
|

| Broken Social Scene – Water in Hell Lyrics | 12 years ago |

| Eddie Vedder – Setting Forth Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I thought he was saying "I'll keeeeeeeep setting forth in the universe" | |
| Morphine – In Spite of Me Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Anyone else think that he's referring to someone who became a TV or movie star? "Late last night, I saw you in my living room" - where TV's normally are "You seemed so close but yet so cold" - On the TV but not actually there? Just something I'd thought about. |

| Voicst – Everyday I Work on the Road Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I presume "Lover's Spit" is the Broken Social Scene song. | |
| Future of the Left – You Need Satan More Than He Needs You Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Can have multiple explanations, for example, a dig at Christians who 'need' satan to exist for their deity to exist. | |
| Future of the Left – That Damned Fly Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song is about the chain of UK venues called "Barfly". | |
| Future of the Left – Fuck the Countryside Alliance Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The Countryside Alliance are a pro-fox hunting group in the UK. | |
| Nomeansno – Kill Everyone Now Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I thought it was a dig at the police, given the "Oh look, a Dunkin' Doughnuts" at the end. | |
| Eels – On My Feet Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
What can you say? In continuation with E's theme in albums, he ends with an uplifting song. This isn't as obviously uplifting as P.S. You Rock My World or Somebody Loves You, but it still gives hope: "One sweet day I'll be back on my feet/And I'll be alright." And in continuation with everything else E has ever done: Beautiful. |

| E's house is in Los Feliz. | |
| Eels – A Line in The Dirt Lyrics | 14 years ago |

| Eels – P.S. You Rock My World Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I didn't know what was being said, at the end, right? I thought it was a quack sound or something. | |
| Eels – Skywriting Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The first line is obviously referring to a funeral. | |
| Jamie T – The Man's Machine Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Can I just say this is a great tune! Is that the Clash sampled at the start? | |
| Future of the Left – Arming Eritrea Lyrics | 14 years ago |

| Future of the Left – Arming Eritrea Lyrics | 14 years ago |

|
| Future of the Left – Yin / Post-Yin Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The chorus is brilliant, and how unusual. | |
| Future of the Left – Lapsed Catholics Lyrics | 14 years ago |

| Future of the Left – The Hope That House Built Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Best song from the new album. | |
| XTC – Making Plans For Nigel Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I don't believe so. I couldn't pick the better version between the two. They are almost two different songs. |
|
| Eels – P.S. You Rock My World Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This is probably the best song Eels have, and one of the best and most beautiful songs ever written to date. E is a true poet, his closing lyrics "How a careful man tries to dodge the bullets, while a happy man takes a walk" - He can say so much by saying so little. I want this played at my funeral. |
|
| Eels – My Descent Into Madness Lyrics | 15 years ago |

This song is rather amazing. Anyone know what the quote from the start is from? Sounds like Big Arnie. |
|
| Jamie T – Sticks N' Stones Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is the summer. | |
| Eels – Susan's House Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Is it really laughing? its more of a cheer | |
| Eels – P.S. You Rock My World Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This pretty much sums it up. So much of this song gives me goosebumps and the final "and maybe its time to live" is just beautiful. |
|
| Eels – Daisies Of The Galaxy Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Isn't that what I Like Birds is for? | |
| Eels – Last Stop: This Town Lyrics | 15 years ago |

| Eels – Fresh Blood Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"People have always asked me what I do in the evenings after I've finished recording and so this is it" - E on the music video. |
|
| Eels – Manchild Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I always assumed this song was about a break up, and that was the actual recording from his ex-girlfriend on his answering machine. | |
| Eels – Elizabeth On The Bathroom Floor Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I read that this was about a suicide attempt, not THE suicide. E found her on the bathroom floor, but she eventually committed suicide in Honolulu. | |
| Eels – Climbing To The Moon Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I don't think that "some" of the songs were based on the diary of Elizabeth, I read that it was only parts of Elizabeth On The Bathroom Floor that were. | |
| Bloodhound Gang – Going Nowhere Slow Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| That second verse is just amazing. Best BHG song ever. | |
