I love Death Cab For Cutie!
Yes, as the title says, I'm extremely in love with this band at the moment. I've liked them for a while now, but never have I been so obsessed before. I've decided to celebrate this by choosing some of my favourite lyrics :D
President of What?
And I’ll react when faces find you
With jealous fits that gag and bind you
‘Cause nothing hurts like nothing at all
When imagination takes full control
Death of an Interior Designer
You were the mother of three girls so sweet
Who stormed through your turnstile
And climbed to the street
But after conception your body lay cold
And withered through autumn and you found yourself old
Can you tell me why you have been so (sad)
He took a lover on a faraway beach
While you arranged flowers and chose color schemes
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
The girls were all there
They traded their vows
The youngest one glared with furrowed brows
They tenderly kissed then cut the cake
The bride then tripped and broke the vase
The one you thought would span the years
So perfectly placed below the mirror
Arriving late you clean the debris
And walked into the angry scene
It felt just like falling in love again
And it felt just like falling in love again
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
Can you tell me why you have been so…
We Looked Like Giants
God damn the black night
With all it's foul temptation
I become what I always hated
When I was with you then
We looked like giants
In the back of my grey subcompact
Fumbling to make contact
As the others slept inside
And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer than anyone would ever get
Do you remember the JAMC?
And reading aloud from magazines
I don't know about you but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
I've never been too good with secrets.
No...
Crooked Teeth
I'm a war of head versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak, my heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
Expo '86
I am waiting for something to wrong
I am waiting for familiar resolve
I am waiting for another repeat
Another diet fed by crippling defeat
And i am waiting for that sense of relief
I am waiting for you to flee the scene
As if you held in your hand the smoking gun
And on the floor lay the one you said you loved.
I Was a Kaleidoscope
And I was a kaleidoscope
The snow on my lenses distorting the image of what was only one of you
And I didn't know which one to address as all your lips moved.
And this is when I forget to breathe
And all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded.
And it's that look that you're giving me
That tells me exactly what you are thinking...
"This ain't working anymore."
A Lack of Colour
And when i see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around, turns you around
If you feel discouraged
And there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seams
Absorbing everything
The spectrum's A to Z
This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
And all the girls in every girlie magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone
To call at 7:03 and on your machine
I slur a plea for you to come home
But i know it's too late
I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
Soul Meets Body
And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
I Will Follow You Into the Dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
And finally, my top favourite...
[b]Debate Exposes Doubt[/i]
Finally there is clarity and there is purpose after all
But every night ends the same
As I'm collapsing once more by your side
Finally there is clarity: this tiny life is making sense
And every drop numbs the both of us
But I alone am staggering
Those are just my favourites ;)

One word, Lauren: PUSSYMANIA.
And I love the album Plans :) but I think that The Photo Album is my favourite.

I love pretty much the entire Plans album...apparently so does my history teacher...

:D
sorry for any offence, I singled out Americans 'cause color's the american spelling
the reason I posted the comment was a dig at camille for so obviously using a lyrics site (I wouldn't have said it if I didn't know her well)
to camille: yeah well, you fail at waffle mania. ha
Freak.Geek.Rebel, March 18th, 2009 at 11:10:51pm
Lauren, you just got owned there :P
And I called it Lack of COLOR out of respect for death cab seeming as that's how they spelled it.
God, Loz, you're so anti-american.
Sort it out. :)
purplerawr, March 18th, 2009 at 11:00:24pm
Freak.Geek.Rebel, you says you have the right to tell others how to spell things? "Color" is just as acceptable as "colour". It depends on the region you are from. I find that insulting, personally, especially how you singled out Americans in your comment.
asteroid, March 18th, 2009 at 10:57:07pm
other than that
YAYYYYYYY
Our plans of taking over the world and making them listen to Death Cab are on their way :D
Freak.Geek.Rebel, March 18th, 2009 at 10:45:51pm
it is NOT SPELT 'color' >:(
YOU ARE NOT AMERICAN (I hope)
sort it out
