Why? – Paper Hearts Lyrics 13 years ago
I think you're right about daring men and seal/ending. I think the line is "Of no use, a shitty gift like a single slipper."

I'm still not sure what the mule line is. Most mules are sterile based on how they're bred, so I don't think he's talking about a merry-go-round. I think he's just referring to a type of mule.

Desaparecidos – Backsell Lyrics 13 years ago
It seems like parts of this song could have been written in 2004ish for a second Desaparecidos album that never happened. Conor was being very public around then with his anti-Clear Channel stance.

The label cash cow that killed himself could be Elliott Smith. Britt Daniel and Conor made some music together around that time period, so it seems like he could have given him that advice, then between Lifted and Wide Awake/Digital Urn, Elliott Smith killed himself and record labels were very interested in Conor.

The autotune verse was probably written a bit more recently, since that wasn't really a thing so much back then.

The Hold Steady – Soft in the Center Lyrics 15 years ago
Should be:

Man if money didn't matter
Then I might tell you something new.
You can't tell people what they want to hear
if you also want to tell the truth.

"like distance doesn't equal (??) no more." is "like distance doesn't equal rate and time no more."
