explodo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 He mumbles, so I don't comprehend most of his lyrics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 the guy's a genius. i could probably pick a section from any of the songs from Boxer, Alligator, or Cherry Tree, and any of them would be legit contenders for his best lines. plus, CorteztheKiller already beat me to all my fave lines, pretty much....

solace Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 He mumbles, so I don't comprehend most of his lyrics. I hardly ever have a hard time understanding his lyrics :/ my favorite line of Matt's ever: Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you Didn't anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in a room but i'm also really fond of this one from Tall Saint:Don't tell everybody at the table about your dreams, They're too amazing, it'll melt their minds, Take 'em to Hollywood, cut out the good parts, Become millionaires.

explodo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I hardly ever have a hard time understanding his lyrics :/I don't either. I was just jokingly pointing out that his singing voice is a mumble. But hey, I lost my sense of humor awhile ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I like the line where he talks about dancing around like a ballerina "cock in hand", only because it took me a few listens to catch what he was saying, and then a few more listens to finally decide I needed to check the lyrics to make sure I wasn't making it up in my head.

thermocaster Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Gotta go with: "I was up all night againboning up and reading theAmerican dictionaryYou'll never believe me, what I've foundthink I better follow you around" or "But that's how we like it, and that's all we wantSomething to cry for, and something to hunt" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azzurri Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 "All night I lay on my pillow and prayFor my boss to stop me in the hallwayLay my head on his shoulder and saySon, I've been hearing good things" "I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. NovemberI'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over" sucks we have to wait at least another year for a new album.

explodo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 do you ever say anything that isn't negative?I would make a joke about how I say good things while I make love to your mother, but, alas: "Baiting. Do not try to get a rise out of another member with your comments." So, for now, your answer is no. And settle down, dude. So I made a joke about a guy's singing voice and I don't like How I Met Your Mother. It's a message board. Opinions happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"i know you're a serious lady,living off a tea cup full of cherries,nobody knows where you are living,nobody knows where you are. take a bath and get high through an apple,wanted to cry but you can't when you're laughing,nobody knows where you are living,nobody knows where you are."fucking hell.

You make up that kind of scenario in your head a lot then? I love that lyrics as well though. The one Solace mentioned is my favourite though, at least today.
