Elliott Smith – Splitsville Lyrics 16 years ago
On the topic of that youtube clip, in the very last frame, look at the very last name.
I haven't seen Southlander, but now I really want to.

Elliott Smith – Cecilia/Amanda Lyrics 16 years ago
Well theres only 4 comments, so I thought I'd give my opinion.
I think it's about a friend of his, who's a prostitute/stripper, who also has a child.
One thing I don't understand is the age of Amanda. Because he says "If you got a little baby now, .." and then "she asked me can I fix it so the record plays the rest of her songs". The latter makes Amanda sound 5 or 6, and not like a baby.

Either way, I think Cecilia told Amanda she's a balarina or something, when really she's a stripper.
"she asks me are you a pretty dancer, but I don't think I'm gonna answer". Also, I think Amanda's trying to copy Cecilia (kids do that). "Ah, Amanda put on her new party dress yesterday, dancing to a record you scratched."

Still don't know what "In a place where lonely men pay to make their opposites match" means. Like, I know what he means, but not really. Sort of. I don't know.

Elliott Smith – Needle in the Hay Lyrics 16 years ago
Maybe he got addicted to heroin because he was trying to help a friend get clean? that's the impression I get from 'sometimes they just get caught in the eye you're pulling them through'.

Elliott Smith – No Confidence Man Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song is about rape. Rape and drugs.
"Charlie got a band in his hand
A rubber loop
Says, I'm the man you really want
So just act natural"
rubber loop sounds like a condom to me.
'Im the man you really want/just act natural' = self explanitory.

"You're on it all the time
And you're full of it all the time"
the only thing that comes to mind with those lines is drugs.

but I might be wrong, whatevs.
