| Regina Spektor – Back of a Truck Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Wow, this song is great. Bob Dylanesque. | |
| Lovage – To Catch A Thief Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Also, it kind of sounds like a Bonnie and Clyde sort of thing? | |
| Lovage – To Catch A Thief Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Love this song and Jennifer's voice! | |
| Metric – Patriarch on a Vespa Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Cool song. Is anyone else reminded of the "Unsolved Mysteries" theme song when they listen to this? |
|
| The Breeders – Oh! Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Does "Fountain" by PJ Harvey borrow from this song or is it just me? | |
| Ween – Vallejo Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| My favourite Ween song | |
| The Cardigans – I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Well, nevermind. It's kind of self-explanatory.. | |
| The Cardigans – I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| So...Nina has a drinking problem? Haha. Anyone know the story behind the song? | |
| Afghan Whigs – 66 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I have to say this is my least favourite Whigs song, although it is pretty catchy and fun... | |
| Afghan Whigs – My Curse Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I just found the version with Dulli doing vocals...love, love, love is all I have for him and this band. | |
| Tim Buckley – Once I Was Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This gets my vote for the best love song ever. | |
| Queens of the Stone Age – The Bronze Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| My favourite Queens song and just one of my favourite songs in general. Just...wow. | |
| Whitehouse – Wriggle Like a Fucking Eel Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song makes me (especially my ears) incredibly uncomfortable, but that's why it's great. | |
| Shellac – Prayer to God Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The first Shellac song I heard too, like a lot of you. It is disturbing, but I see the humour in it as well - especially with the "Amen" at the end. Big Black and Rapeman are also great... |
|
| The Cardigans – I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Great song! Nina's voice has always been a favourite of mine... | |
| Afghan Whigs – Conjure Me Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| LOVE this song and this band. | |
| PJ Harvey – Maniac Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| It's nice to see Polly having a bit of fun here! | |
| PJ Harvey – Taut Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
"And he custom of destruct the pain of every escape but somehow" Huh? I'm hearing "He'd cuss enough to strip the paint off Heaven's gate." |
|
| PJ Harvey – Yuri-G Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| (Adding to my previous post) In this case, it seems the moon itself is the object of affection. | |
| PJ Harvey – Yuri-G Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Also, Polly once mentioned reading about different 'pagan' traditions where the practitioners would try to draw down the moon in order to gain the favour/love of someone ("I drew her down on me I drew her with a smile"). Here's a quotation of hers: "I just found it fascinating that some people used to do an incantation called 'drawing down the moon' to try and make a loved one theirs." |

| PJ Harvey – The Wind Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Here's some more information: http://www.st-catherine.org.uk/harvey1.htm "The chapel in Abbotsbury is often visited by women who are looking for husbands. There is a prayer for them to say: A husband, St Catherine A handsome one, St Catherine A rich one, St Catherine A nice one, St Catherine And soon, St Catherine." Sound familiar? ;) |
|
| PJ Harvey – The Faster I Breathe the Further I Go Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| One of Polly's best b-sides. I have a fond memory of listening to this song while walking home one summer night. | |
