Elliott Smith - Miss Misery (Music Video)

SONG: Miss Misery. ALBUM: Good Will Hunting OST.

LYRICS:

I'll fake it through the day
With some help from Johnny Walker Red
Send the poison rain down the drain
To put bad thoughts in my head

Two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothing to do
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do

A man in the park
Read the lines in my hand
Told me I'm strong
Hardly ever wrong I said man you mean

You had plans for both of us
That involved a trip out of town
To a place I've seen in a magazine
That you left lying around

I don't have you with me but
I keep a good attitude
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do

I know you'd rather see me gone
Than to see me the way that I am
But I am in the life anyway

Next door the tv's flashing
Blue frames on the wall
It's a comedy of errors, you see
It's about taking a fall

To vanish into oblivion
Is easy to do
And I try to be but you know me
I come back when you want me to

Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do

Elliott Smith - Coming Up Roses (Music Video)

SONG: Coming Up Roses. ALBUM: Elliott Smith.

LYRICS:

I'm a junkyard full of false starts
And I don't need your permission
To bury my love
Under this bare light bulb

The moon is a sickle cell
It'll kill you in time
Your cold white brother all right in your blood
Like spun glass in sore eyes

While the moon does its division, you're buried below
And you're coming up roses
Everywhere you go
Red roses follow

The things that you tell yourself
They'll kill you in time
Your cold white brother alive in your blood
Spinning in the night sky

While the moon does its division, you're buried below
And you're coming up roses
Everywhere you go
Red roses

So you got in a kind of trouble that nobody knows
It's coming up roses everywhere you go
Red roses

Adam Green - Emily (Music Video)

SONG: Emily. ALBUM: Gemstones.

LYRICS:

I just don't care about the evening news
I never listen to the crackhouse blues
They say the city is the place to be
I wanna dance with Emily

Everybody come around the window shop
I guess they never seen the moves I got
I wanna be with what the people see
I wanna dance with Emily

Emily, sweet baby, won't you be my wife
Cutting me wide open with a kitchen knife
Everybody said that she is underage
Honky tried to shoot me with a 7 gauge

Now I got the cookies that your momma sent
I got permission from the government
Someone should mention to the minister
Now I gotta dance with Jennifer

Jenny's got a mousehole full of pigeon scum
On top a mountain made of bubble gum
Don't understand what all the grief is for
Now I gotta dance with Eleanor

Eleanor, I wonder if we grew too slow
Straight down the hatch beneath the streetlight's glow
Baby when I get you on that persian rug
That's the kind of movie that I'm dreaming of

I'll tell you something that you'd think I know
I got two tickets to the sold out show
Some of the fellas like to think I'm Greek
I wanna love you maybe three days a week

I just don't care about the evening news
I never listen to the crackhouse blues
I wanna be with what the people see
I wanna dance with Emily

I wanna dance with Emily...

The Moldy Peaches - Lucky Number Nine (Music Video)

SONG: Lucky Number Nine. ALBUM: The Moldy Peaches.

LYRICS:

Indie boys are neurotic
Makes my eyes bleed
Tight black pants exotic
Some loving is what I need

Hey, I'm starting to feel ok
Lucky number nine
Huray

Sepia on the staircase
Mirror in the back of my brain
Makes things, her pants feel great
I used to like to complain

But hey. I'm starting to feel ok
Lucky number nine
Huray

Bloody Mary, mother of god
grandpas on the hobby horse again
tampin', broken pants chaiffng
I'm running out of ethnic friends

But hey. I'm starting to feel ok
Lucky number nine
Huray
