| Azure Ray – Displaced Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| In "Azure Ray live at Paste Studio on the Road: LA", 4 Apr 2021, Taylor recounted: "This song, all of the songs on that (first) record--we were barely twenty years old, and we had a very close friend of ours pass away, so this was how we coped with it, writing these songs." | |

| Arrah and the Ferns – All the Bad in One Place Lyrics | 11 years ago |

Hi - Tried listening to their live track here to decipher this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5yKvW7yLMk Believe the lyrics are: >>>Call me, call me from my bed >>>You draw things, you draw things in my head >>>And all the jeans that I break Second last parenthesis line sounds like "this heart of mine can sing like you should", but that's still fuzzy to me. |

| Lykke Li – Dance, Dance, Dance Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Hi, sorry for the belated reply. Yes, your submission is the official, but I'm leaving my transcription intact because Li does sing a variant of the song from which I got the slightly different stanza. The stanza in question is in the first chorus: so when i trip on my feet look at the beat it was all (instead of "the words are") written in the sand when i'm shaking my hips look for the swing it was all (instead of "the words are") written in the air |

| The Acorn – Hold Your Breath Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I checked out the rendition of this song on Daytrotter and heard: "Calling on the colors of the road Sleep amongst the mango trees, poisoned toads A flood for every footprint, for every mile that you forgot Though your hands were little, they always gave a lot." Hope that helps. |

In Coby Hartzler's (as Cobra) original version, the lyrics go: I want to live a simple life somewhere in the country on a farm with a garden and a big oak tree for climbing but everything's getting louder and bigger and busier and faster and i cannot even hear my -own voice as i am singing uh oh, i cannot feel the grass beneath my toes [...] |

"eighth bungalows" seems accurate in the fourth verse, supposing a reference to the chain of hip nightclubs in NYC and london. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungalow_8 |

@ ray1963uk Thanks for the input. I agree with the first amendment--edited accordingly, but disagree with the latter. Am currently inclined to hear it as either "new sky" or "great sky". Other inputs welcome. |
|
| Lykke Li – Window Blues Lyrics | 16 years ago |

i think the first two bracketed words are right: "strain" then "lines". and perhaps "a hundred times around" for the stanza in the bridge. |

>>> hastalavictoria yeah, i thought what you did in my original transcription, but then the band later released the lyrics to the song and i had these amended to what's on their website. (and trust me, i changed a lot! although i didn't quite get "date rape on the hillside".) |

just some amendments to the lyrics before the edit function returns: >>> if you had to tell me, tell me something >>> am i talking to myself, am i talking to the dark, am i talking to myself, or are you talking to my heart >>> slipped through my flingers, another worn out singer, crumpled pages, tore out heart, leaves me frustrated, peering through the dark >>> we could fix this steel string heart, then this faceless forgiveness, could be a real piece of art |
