"'06: "Quotes"" lyrics
"'06: "Quotes""
All those quotes you never said
For some of which you could have sued
Oh, the hateful mail you've read
Defending things you've not reviewed
All for a punchier headline
Even when the article was thine
Dramatic quotes so rarely true
Has this been happening to you
All those quotes you never said
More famous than you'll ever be
All those prices on your head
For nothing much to do with thee
Some make fun of your speech defects
Some make fun of your homosexuality
Some of your height
Whatever, please just quote you right
All those quotes you never said
Will drown out anything you say
All those trolls who want you dead
Will dance 'round your auto-da-fe

Just don't say...
Camera Obscura - "Books Written For Girls" You can compliment me on the style of my hair
Give me marks out of ten for the clothes I wear
You probably thought I had more upstairs
I disappoint you, I can see through your perfect smile

Belle & Sebastian - "If You're Feeling Sinister" Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again
If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do?
He wants to remember things...
Wilco - "Kamera" I need a camera to my eye
To my eye, reminding
Which lies I have been hiding
which echoes belong
I've counted out days
to see how far
I've driven in the dark
with echoes in my heart
Phone...
Pavement - "Range Life" After the glow, the scene, the stage
The sad talk becomes slow but there's one thing I'll never forget
Hey, you gotta pay your dues before you pay the rent
Over the turnstiles and out in the traffic...
