| Dr. Dog – The Way the Lazy Do Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Two of my favorite Dr. Dog lines: "May your days kill time" and "Love to lay the way the lazy do" How very Syd Barrett (really a technique of classical poetry) of Scott to rhyme words within the line like that instead of just the end of the line |

| Dr. Dog – Worst Trip Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This is the song that first got me into this band. I was flipping through channels randomly and caught them on Conan. I had to stop and watch because I'm always interested when a band uses Conan's horn section for back-up. Boy am I glad I did. | |

| their most emotional song to date, i think. | |
| Built to Spill – Bad Light Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think this song is about how things change with memory. Nothing is forever because memory changes it. You can ask a person what they ate for breakfast today and get one answer; ask them what they had today in a month and you'll get a whole different answer. Your memory is the bad light. | |
| Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – (Do Not Feed The) Oyster Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
or is it "watch out for the mud shark" seems more in keeping with malkmus' reference happy lyrics (mud shark being a zappa reference) also, it's "no more time to fight about the tension in the choir", a line accentuated by the out of tune vocal harmony that follows |

| Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – Water And A Seat Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think it's: "If madness comes so much the better to shake" I also find it hilarious that someone tried to transcribe the gibberish in after the "Tennyson and politics" line. For me he really just purposely gibberish... this is a song about inviting madness and in... sometimes meaninglessness has more meaning - you just have to go with it. If madness comes so much the better to shake! |

| Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – Out of Reaches Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I love how the chorus is two thoughts made into one: Out of reach and Reaches out |

| Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – Real Emotional Trash Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| One of the things Malkmus does really well is repeating lyrics in a way so that they can be interpreted as many things like in "Cut Your Hair" when he yells "career" over and over, or is it "Korea"... he does this in a way so that it doesn't matter; both work and both have meaning. I think he does this in Realy Emotional Trash. He may be saying "puh-lease me" and he may be saying "police me", probably saying a little of both, and really they both work and both make for equally satisfying interpretations (though I personally prefer police me). | |
