danelectro Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Pretty much all of it. There was a few times I actually got choked up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azzurri Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 i am not too crazy about the lyrics to Hate it Here and What Light...a little too corny for my taste. You are My Face is probably the best lyrically Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I trust no emotion, I believe in locomotionI've turned to rust as we've discussedbut I must have let you down too many timesin the dirt and the dust... -you are my face Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noyes Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 "oh i'll side with you if you side with me" reminded me of "and if you don't underestimate me i won't underestimate you." no lyrics have really stood out.not yet. edit: although i like that one llynn, haha.

bobfrombob Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I even learned how to use the washing machineKeep them things cleanDoesn't change anything This is as sad and bittersweet as Hummingbird Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Consider this an experiment. To everybody not enjoying the living piss out of Wilco's best song in years ("I Hate It Here"), are you guys fans of soul at all? Y'know, John Ellison, Quincy Jones, Stax/Volt, Motown, all that? I'm guessing probably not, but I'm curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skip Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Haven't spent as much time listening to the lyrics yet. i'm getting there. But the song the some have mentioned as sappy...Hate It Here...I can relate to it.As a divorced guy, the song hit me. I was that guy a few years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YouAReMYface Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 yea the lyrics on you are my face... the door screams i hate you. hate you hanging around my blue jeans agreed, love those lyrics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 You Are My Face is good, Patient With Me has some excellent ly-ric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'm trying to get all of the lyrics down and I'm realizing these are some great lyrics... Very straightforward and soul baring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H to the ickle Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yeah, on first listen the lyrics weren't that stellar to me but after listening for the lyrics rather than to the lyrics, I realized that there's some really good stuff on SBS both lyrically and musically.

Mister Alex Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I already posted this in another thread, but in On & On & On, when Jeff sang 'I will live, and you will live in me', I went 'wow'. That whole song is definitely a favourite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nonlinear Nonfiction Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I remember my uncle's cousin's brother's daughter's boyfriend's best-friend's grandpa's dog's breeder's vet's assistant's sister's neighbor's rabbi... - You Are My Face Just kidding...I actually really like this song.

froggie Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I already posted this in another thread, but in On & On & On, when Jeff sang 'I will live, and you will live in me', I went 'wow'.

Artifex Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The line 'Drunks are richocheting'...I can't help but feel that I've heard that line before...even from Tweedy? Or mabye it was Elliott Smith...somewhere, someone had Drunks are richocheting through the streets in a song or poem and it's driving me nuts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dark heat Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yeah, Hate It Here and What Light, despite being great songs, sport some pretty cheesy lyrics. Hate It Here's aren't so bad, even as straightforeward as they are, but What Light is taken down a notch or two once you know the words. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 the door screams i hate you. hate you hanging around my blue jeansThis one is just going on a loop in my head. That, and just saying "Impossible Germany, Unlikely Japan" over and over again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thisyearsgirl Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 i think the whole second verse in "what light" is awesome...i always think of jeff and his feelings about sharing art encapsulated in a single verse. 'you are my face' is the other song that is really hitting me hard right now in the lyrics department. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
