[Codeine]

Pavement - We Dance

There is no castration fear
In a chair you will be with me
We’ll dance [x4]
But no one will dance with us
In this zany town
Chim-chim-chim-cheerie sing a song of praise
For your elders, they’re in the back
Pick out some brazilian nuts for your engagement
Check that expiration date, man,
It’s later than you think
You can’t enjoy yourself, I can’t enjoy myself [x2]
Move that swing and
Watch it break, strength like an ox
But I won’t be there to leave you ah-ah-ah
’cause I don’t have a clue anymore
Maybe we could dance [x3] together
Together
Together
Together
First time you’ll see
And then you’ll be
Five times forever
And you’ll never get lost

Ernie - I Don't Want to Live on the Moon

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon

[El Fugitivo]

The Microphones - The Moon

Honestly, one of my absolute favorite songs. It's just...perfectly written and performed.


i drove up to the city at night and found the place where you grew up
and in the night we stayed and we walked around and stayed up late
under city lights i spent the night
next to you in the place where you grew up
next to you when you miraculously woke up
in your parents house, i lied in bed with you
i went back there to feel alone there
i went back there to wipe it clean
i took the lights and the radio tower out of dream
and we went all the way up to the small town where i'm from
the foggy air and the wind and the mountain top
we clung to rocks and we looked off
you held my hand and almost got to start feeling me
i finally felt like i was breathing free
and under swaying trees we fell asleep and had the same dream
the stars were bright, now we dream the same every night
on my island home i spent some time with you
i went back to feel alone there
i went back there by myself
and gave up on everything we really felt
we found a precious place in the sand right out in the wind
and we lied under a blanket and heard the furious sound
of roaring waves, the pounding surfs. 2 bodies on the earth
it was intense just getting to be there next to you
and you were trying to get me then
i was happy to just let you in
i went back and wished i hadn't
i went back and felt regret
i went to the beach and stared west
every night when the sun went down in the town where we live
the empty streets were lit up by reflected light
from a distant sun bouncing off a glowing ball of rock
we just lied on the roof and watched the moon, the moon
the blue light of the moon
we didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful
like the moon my chest was full
because we both knew we were floating in space over molten rock
and we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft
there's nothing left except certain death
and that was comforting out under the moon
i went out last night to forget that
i went out and stared it down
but the moon just stared back at me
and in it's light i saw my two feet on the ground

Nieces Pieces is EASILY one of the most depressing songs Ive ever heard.

Xiu Xiu - Nieces Pieces

can't wait to watch you get older
can't wait to meet the first boy that breaks your life
can't wait till you realize the family you've been born into......
can't wait to watch you turn from good to bad
can't wait to tell you that grandpa made your mommy play stripper while your uncle watched
can't wait to tell you that i punched your mommy in the chest in front of her friends
can't wait till you realize your mommy's heart is broken
can't wait to watch you grow up around the people who broke it
lalalalalala

[Jet Set Willy]

You forgot to mention pretentious too.

[Codeine]

Explain to me how Xiu Xiu is pretentious, aside from "I Broke Up".

[Jet Set Willy]

Are you kidding? They practically define the word. I hold no patience for these fucking weepy 'deep' bands with 'insightful' lyrics. It's worse than anime fans as far as I'm concerned.

[Codeine]

The only thing I find pretentious about them is the vocals. But if thats your opinion on them, fine, just stop prodding them with insults.

[Jet Set Willy]

No. I'm not going to stop criticising them just because you like them.

Yes, the only thing pretentious about them is the vocals (and lyrics). Since it's a heavily vocal band, that kinda counts for something.

Even if I didn't like them, its hard to ignore the fact that you insult them whenever there mentioned, which is annoying.
