| Twain – Good Old Friend (Never Goin' Down) Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Most of this seems accurate, the only thing I am really unsure of is these lines: "to drink it in the kitchen," & "I’d love him from eight ‘til late." I know there's a chapbook that I ordered, but these were taken from ear. I am going to ask the band if it's okay to print the lyrics here, as I wouldn't want to disrupt sales of their chapbook. |

| Cold War Kids – Aeon Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| This song was originally produced and released by Antony and the Johnsons in 2009 on the album "The Crying Light." | |
| Nickel Creek – Young Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
These lyrics are just plain wrong. Correct lyrics and sentence formatting: Young and with no clue, and I wanna love you. Give me the key to what it's about. Everything I've read, and everything you've said prove you're over my head; Help me climb out. I know that you don't need nobody. Are you sure you're that sure about me? Hey, what did I do? I've spoken too soon. Listen to this tune, forget the words. Wait until someday, 'cause when I know what to say I'll say it in the best way you've ever heard. I know that you don't need nobody. Are you sure you're that sure about me? Young and with no clue, I still wanna love you. Give credit where it's due, I've got good taste. It's not like I wanna get married. I never asked you to kiss me, just don't want you to be sorry you didn't try. |

| Lola Ray – Our Brown Friends Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Oooo, good try but no. Not at all. While the song "Slave" might be a personal experience the narrator had in a particular relationship where his partner wanted to keep him on the backburner, suggesting that this is misandry is "friend zone" thinking and needs to stop. Liking a girl an doing everything she says even though she doesn't actually have interest in you is your fault and your fault alone. No one has to like you because you show interest in them, and you don't have to do anything for anyone who lets you think they're interested in you. You're not a slave, but women are absolutely wholesale criticized for not giving into advances and "friend zoning" guys. | |
| Cold War Kids – Don't Let Your Love Grow Away from Me Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I have no idea why this puritan, traditionalist band is so appealing to me and my atheistic sensibilities, but I don't really care. I belt this song without care for irony. | |
| Love as Laughter – In Amber Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Corrected "Did you see me as the snow man" to "Did you see me as the Encino man?" in reference to 1992's film of the same name where Brendan Fraser plays a frozen caveman thawed out in 90s California. | |
| The Ink Spots – Every Night About This Time Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Line 3 should read "[I'd slip into] our old rendezvous." | |
| Wolf Parade – Language City Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song has several likely references to Modest Mouse. "Where eyeballs float in space" is possibly referring to 3rd Planet's "Eye in the sky that can't be stopped." and the later half of the song mentioning someone above, hypothetically God, counting the hours also satisfies this theory. "I been here so long my heart is a parking lot" seems almost a direct reference to the song "Custom Concern," "Goes through the parking lot fields" and is the strongest reference, as it deals with the same themes of dredging social experiences. "Hollow feet rooted to the spot" could be a much less solid, general reference to "Life Like Weeds" "In a paper room" is another strong piece of imagery that evokes the song "Paper Thin Walls" and also fits the social theme. Finally, for a bit of a stretch, "On the telephone counting the hours" may be referencing "Styrofoam Boots" God-character, as the phrase "counting the hours" is uttered earlier in this song in reference to God, and in the mouse song: "Every time anyone gets on their knees to pray/Well, it makes my telephone ring" but this may just be want. There seems to be an awful lot of lines in Wolf Parade songs that remind me of Modest Mouse, but it might all be coincidence. |

| Phoenix – One Time Too Many Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I always thought it was "Slow down your tail" | |
| OutKast – Morris Brown Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think it's about coke in addition to the obvious implications. Everything sung in this song could be considered an allusion to the ups and downs of a coke high, and not just the "my nose is open so wide," lyric. | |
| Wolf Parade – Kissing The Beehive Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I have to say this is exactly what I assumed the song was about and am glad I wasn't the only one. "Crashing all the weddings wearing white" becomes a funny metaphor then. | |
| Regina Spektor – Après Moi Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| After speaking with a Russian friend about the translation, it is not so illogical that it makes me bawl almost every time I hear it. | |
| Wolf Parade – Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
There are at least three Modest Mouse references in this song, and I just noticed them all at once today. "Pulls out two guns and shoots at the pretty, pretty pure white" Cowboy Dan. "to block out the view" The View. "I got water and I got holes," "I'm a digger of holes" Ugly Casanova's Diggin' Holes In Water is not on any albums, but was recorded at Dub Narcotic Studios |
|
| Modest Mouse – The Whale Song Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| There's something about "first times" and "last times" and "no one seemed to find a way out, no one ever found a way out" in the background, as the first voice turns into the background vocals and the higher pitched voice (that is written here) takes over. It's a very complex song. | |
| Modest Mouse – Guilty Cocker Spaniels Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Actually, I get the idea that it's about Modest Mouse's success. I'm not going to do a line-by-line for you, but it sounds defensive of either their record company or the old-mouse-fans. I'm not saying that this is the only interpretation, but it's something I thought I'd share. It's far more likely to be social commentary or an introspective look at life. | |
| The Mae Shi – Run To Your Grave Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I couldn't disagree more. The song is suggesting we commit suicide "cut the flesh and let the blood flow into the drain" so God can take care of the rest. The song extrapolates a sarcastic criticism of religion. I thought that much was obvious. "Cause when you die you are a slave" This fits far more with the tone of the rest of the album. It's not a "feel good" song at all, despite the upbeat instrumentals. |

| Cold War Kids – Rubidoux Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The version on "With Our Wallets Full" has slightly different lyrics, has a faster tempo, and a slightly higher pitched voice with an effect. Instead of "And your eyes are shifting dials like AM radios" it's "Where the padlocks are hidden, no-body knows." Instead of "windshields of spidered ice" it's "shoveled windows of spidered ice" |

| Cloud Cult – Chandeliers Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'm starting to see a lot more of the religious undertones to the lyrics in all of Cloud Cult, but especially in this song. While I'm a hardcore atheist, I find the spiritual romance of this song to transcend my initial love for the song. I'm not sure if he's comparing the splendor of God, Faith, or whatever with the Chandeliers, but it's a very overwhelming emotion to consider any interpretation of the lyrics in a spiritual way. I can only admire that sort of metaphysical interpretation of spirituality. | |
| Cloud Cult – 6 Days Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The opening 4 lines are from General Moters' 1956 short promotional film "Design for Dreaming." The second is an old recording from David Brower. You can find both on the Internet Archives. | |
| Cloud Cult – 6 Days to Madness Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is called "6 Days." 6 Days to Madness is a completely different song. | |
| Cloud Cult – Beautiful Boy Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| It's hard to listen to this song sometimes. Real heart-tugging sad. It's brave to share something like that with the kinds of people we have in the world. | |
| Cloud Cult – 6 Days to Madness Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
And it's not John McPhee, it's David Brower. The opening 4 lines are from General Moters' 1956 short promotional film "Design for Dreaming." You can find both on the Internet Archives. There's also several inaccuracies with these lyrics. I submitted the correct lyrics as the correct song title, and I suggest you change the lyrics in this to the proper lyrics for 6 Days to Madness: You're so pretty, would you stand beside me? You're so pretty, would you stand beside me? Maybe they will think I'm beautiful like you? You're so pretty, would you lay down by me? You're so pretty, would you lay down by me? Maybe you could help me feel beautiful too? Maybe we could understand each other? Maybe we could finally feel enough? Maybe we could? Maybe we could? Maybe we could finally feel OK? |

| Cloud Cult – Radio Fodder Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The only things I'm really unsure about is if he's saying something after "Hey!" and if he's saying "Walk" at the end. | |
| Yeasayer – Red Cave Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
You're a little off: she led me to her whirlpool warm despite a winter's day And: church of the red cave |

| Ugly Casanova – Smoke Like Ribbons Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Well, this is very obviously a drug reference song. And I'm certain he says Stars don't give a flat fuck, but I don't know what that means. It bothers me, too. |
|
| Wolf Parade – Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Does anyone else think that the "pulls out two guns and shoots at the pretty pretty view" is a throwback to cowboy Dan? Also, I agree that some of you are looking a little too hard into the lyrics, including Mr. Conspiracy theory. It's not a specific allegory for any one event or people, but instead a general description of modernist ideals of self importance and entitlement. Consumers with agendas. We are maggots. |

| Atmosphere – The Woman with the Tattooed Hands Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This woman is in love with her hands, and signified this by painting the images of good and evil on them. Seemingly religious, Slug is commenting on the infatuation mankind has with this biblical conflict between good and evil. She distances herself from other men, or the joys of life, for her own masturbatory activities of God. You MIGHT go so far as to say that Slug believes religion is masturbatory. I'd have to agree. |

| Tool – Hooker with a Penis Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
You people are silly. "No, it's not about capitolism!" Then you describe capitolism and say that the song is about what you said. In other news, this song is fantastic. I refer everyone who uses the words "sell out" to refer to an indy band. |
|
| Modest Mouse – Leaflets Gabe Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is from the CD "The Unaccompanied Voice: An A Capella Compilation," a collection of famous and unknown indie bands/musicians using nothing but their voices, and as little as foot stomping and hand clapping to bring you some well known, and some never before heard of songs. This song is one of the poorest recordings on the album, which ranges in recording prowess. This lyrics are mine and the Mod Mouse forum's best guess, and may or may not be correct. If you have any disagreements or opinions, send me an E-mail and I'll consider including them. | |
