* Condor Ave - Elliott Smith
She took the oldsmobile out past condor ave And she locked the car and slipped past into rythmic queitude lights burning Voice dry and hoarse I threw the screen door like a bastard back And forth the feel over my knees The feel over each other I fell onto my knees The sound of the car driving off made me feel diseased A sick like you hear at the fairground Now I'm picking up to put away anything of yours That's still around I don't know what to do with your clothes or Your letters It'll make a whisper out of you She took the oldsmobile out past condor ave The fairground's lit A drunk man sits by the gate she's driving through Got his hat tipped bottle back in between his teeth looks like he's buried in the sand at the beach I can't think about you driving off to leave Barely awake to take a little nap While the road is straight I wish that car had never been discovered they took away the bottle and the hat He was under that's the one thing that he could never do And it'll make a whisper out of you She took the oldsmobile out past condor ave Cops were running around the scene Looking for some kind of clue They ever get uptight when a moth gets crushed Unless a light bulb really loved him very much I'm lying down Blowing smoke from my cigarette Little whisper smoke signs you'll never get You're in your oldsmobile driving past the moon Headlights burning bright ahead of you And someone's burning out on condor ave Trying to make a whisper out of you What a shitty thing to say Did you really mean it? You never said a word to me about What passed between us So now I'm leaving you alone You can do whatever the hell you want to Na na na na na na |

* Drive All Over Town - Elliott Smith
Two dollar color pictures from a photo booth Dirty stepped on lying out on the floor of their room Faces fell long in the half light He looks all wrong but that's her alright Look at him smiling full of teeth Clenched tight He knew the one time with the army captain He got one that whole deal before it happened Said its okay I knew exactly what you meant When you said you were an accident But when it's 3am he wonders where in the hell she went And he'll drive all over town Drive all over town And he'll drive all over town Drive all over town Until he tracks her down He'll drive all over town |

8. 마지막 통화 (Last Call)
마지막 통화 그에겐 모든게 지긋지긋했다 집에서 잠들어 있는 당신에게 작별을 고했다 글쎄, 당신도 알겠지만 언젠가는 생각나겠지 당신이 그에게 사실을 말하지 않았다는 걸 너는 위기상황이다. 너는 냉담한 사람이고 너는 말없는 이야깃꾼이고 네 자신이 무슨 말을 하는지 따위에 전혀 신경쓰지 않지 너는 무단횡단자, 그리고 언제나 그렇게 멋대로 가버린다고 네가 하는 일들이 다 그래 멀어지는 당신의 신발소리에 그는 문득 당신이 모르는 사람처럼 느껴졌다 마지막 통화 그에겐 모든게 지긋지긋했다 당신을 생각나게 하는 것들은 끝도 없이 떠올랐고 그 때문에 그는 당신이 너무도 지겹고도 지겹고 지겨웠다 당신의 소리도 지겨웠고 당신이 다가오는 것도 지겨웠다 내 화를 돋구려고 다가오는 당신에게 이미 내가 최고의 방어태세를 제거 했을 땐 어디를 보나 당신이 이겼다는 표시뿐이고 나는 아무래도 끝장난 것 같다 당신은 이제야 안전하게 나의 스위치를 끌 수 있을 것이다 내가 여기 누워 잠이 나를 덮쳐주길 기다릴 동안에는 그렇다, 당신은 아직 여기 있다. 하지만 분명히 해두는 게 좋을걸 당신이 그토록 열망했던 건 오직 참는 것 뿐이었다는 걸 요구하는 걸 얻지 못한다는 사실을 알 때 당신은 더 이상 요구를 할 수가 없다, 더 이상은 그게 바로 달 속의 남자처럼 당신이 온 사방에 스스로의 그림자를 드리우는 이유다 당신은 마시기 시작하고 아무튼 계속 마시고 싶어한다 이것도 곧 작년 일이 되어 버리겠지 당신은 마시기 시작했고 계속 마시고 싶어한다 이것도 곧 작년 일이 되어 버리겠지 교회 종소리에 깬 나는 오늘이 공휴일이었나 하고 생각했다 나까지 그 축하무리에 낄 생각은 없는데 그래도 예배에는 참석할 것이다 가서 기도도 하고 내 조물주의 이름을 찬양할 것이다. 마치 내가 그녀가 나를 만드신 것만큼 착했던 것처럼 그리고 그녀가 절대로 나를 깨우지 않겠다고 말해주길 바랬다 나는 그녀가 절대로 나를 깨우지 않겠다고 말해주길 바랬다 X7 나는 여기 누워 잠이 나를 덮쳐주길 기다렸다 |

No Name #1 - Elliott Smith
At a party he was waiting Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn Like he could be underwater The mighty mother with her hundred arms Swept all aside I hate to walk behind other people's ambition I saw you waiting Saint like with your warning leave alone You don't belong here He got nervous Started whistling Every thought a ricochet Did you notice? Well I wondered What's the worst thing I could say? And I froze up and sighed You remind me of someones daughter I forgot her I forgot her name ashamed Go home and live with your pain Leave alone Leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong You don't belong here And when I go Don't you follow leave alone Leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong You don't belong here Slip out quiet Nobody's looking Leave alone You don't belong here |

Concrete hands picked up the telephone ring Do you know who's you're talking to? No, and I don't care who She whispered quiet terror news He didn't give a hoot Said do what you have to do All she had to do was speak Mouthpiece to cheek Please say no more I'm lying here on the ground A strip of wet concrete Her name was just a broken sound A struffle step you hear when you're falling down Killing time won't stop this crying Killing time won't stop this crying Killing time won't stop this crying You better start watching what message That you send now No more situations I only go in to be kicked out He got knocked down leaning like he ran into a clothesline And remembered a couple of words that hid a crime You're just fine You'll be just fine But I'm on the other line Killing time won't stop this crying Killing time won't stop this crying Killing time won't stop this crying |

For a change she got out Before he hurt her bad Took her records and clothes And pictures of her boy It really made her sad Packed it up and didn't look back I'm okay lets just forget about him The car was cold and it smelled like old Cigarettes and pine In her bag I saw things she drew When she was mine like this one here Her alone nobody near What a shame lets just not talk about it No it doesn't look like you But you did wear cowboy boots That's your fame There's no question about it Once we got back inside With one ear to the ground I was ready to hide 'cos I don't know who's around And you looK scared It's our secret do not tell okay? Let's just not talk about it Don't tell okay? Let's just forget all about it |

A wallflower punch talks to judy
In a crowded corner where anybody can listen in But they don't read page to page or speak easy Now they're gonna go say the words In the wrong order again They walk in a circle Through all the sidewalk scenes they used to be apart of one time Now everybody just stares and whispers Driving around up and down division street I used to like it here It just bums me out to remember Can't you ever treat anyone nice? I think i'm gonna make the same mistake twice They draw the curtain Wait for a call Pretty lucky if they get any kind of response at all Can't you ever treat anyone nice? I think i'm gonna make the same mistake twice I'm gonna make the same mistake twice |

They asked me to come down
and watch the parade And to march down the street like the duracell bunny With a wink and a wave from the cavalcade Throwing out candy that looks like money To people passing by that all seem to be going the other way Said won't you follow me down to the rose parade? Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar People were shouting and pushing and saying And when i traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar A ridiculous marching band started playing And got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? The trumpet has obviously been drinking Because he's fucking up even the simplest lines I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine And when they clean the street I'll be the only shit that's left behind Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? |

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after We broke up a month ago and i grew up i didn't know I'd be around the morning after It's always been wait and see A happy day and then you pay And feel like shit the morning after But now i feel changed around and instead falling down I'm standing up the morning after Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later And i could be another fool or an exception to the rule You tell me the morning after Crooked spin can't come to rest I'm damaged bad at best She'll decide what she wants I'll probably be the last to know No one says until it shows and you see how it is They want you or they don't Say yes I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl Who's still around the morning after |

He's pleased to meet you underneath the horse
In the cathedral with the glass stained black Singing sweet high notes that echo back To destroy their master May be a long time til you get the call-up But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck No one'll know where you are It's just a brief smile crossing your face Running speed trials still standing in place When the socket's not a shock enough You little child what makes you think you're tough When all the people you think you're above They all know what's the matter You're such a pinball yeah you know it's true There's always something you come back running to To follow the path of no resistance It's just a brief smile crossing your face Running speed trials standing in place It's just a brief smile crossing your face Running speed trials all over the place |

Baby britain feels the best floating
over a sea of vodka Separated from the rest Fights problems with bigger problems Sees the ocean fall and rise Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her Water pouring from her eyes Alcoholic and very bitter For someone half as smart you'd be a work of art You put yourself apart And i can't help until you start We knocked another couple back The dead soldiers lined up on the table Still prepared for an attack They didn't know they'd been disabled Felt a wave a rush of blood You won't be happy 'til the bottle's broken And you're out swimming in the flood You kept back you kept unspoken For someone half as smart you'd be a work of art You put yourself apart And i can't help until you start You got a look in your eye When you're saying goodbye Like you wanna say hi The light was on but it was dim Revolver's been turned over And now it's ready once again The radio was playing "crimson and clover" London bridge is safe and sound No matter what you keep repeating Nothing's gonna drag me down To a death that's not worth cheating For someone half as smart you'd be a work of art You put yourself apart And i can't help until you start For someone half as smart you'd be a work of art You put yourself apart |

i'll tell you why i don't want to know where you are i got a joke i been dying to tell you a silent kid is looking down the barrel to make the noise that i kept so quiet i kept it from you, pitseleh i'm not what's missing from your life now i could never be the puzzle pieces they say that god makes problems just to see what you can stand before you do as the devil pleases and give up the thing you love but no one deserves it the first time i saw you i knew it would never last i'm not half what i wish i was i'm so angry i don't think it'll ever pass and i was bad news for you just because i never meant to hurt you |

Baby Britain
baby britain feels the best floating over a sea of vodka separated from the rest fights problems with bigger problems sees the ocean fall and rise counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her water pouring from her eyes alcoholic and very bitter for someone half as smart you'd be a work of art you put yourself apart and i can't help until you start we knocked another couple back the dead soldiers lined up on the table still prepared for an attack they didn't know they'd been disabled felt a wave a rush of blood you won't be happy 'til the bottle's broken and you're out swimming in the flood you kept back you kept unspoken for someone half as smart you'd be a work of art you put yourself apart and i can't help until you start you got a look in your eye when you're saying goodbye like you wanna say hi the light was on but it was dim revolver's been turned over and now it's ready once again the radio was playing 'crimson and clover' london bridge is safe and sound no matter what you keep repeating nothing's gonna drag me down to a death that's not worth cheating for someone half as smart you'd be a work of art you put yourself apart and i can't help until you start for someone half as smart you'd be a work of art you put yourself apart |

You got your head turned around
Walking upside down Through the sunken dream Through the crushing crowd You don't know what it means Because you're a broken machine You won't lisp it out You're dressing up your man It's all second hand It's all hindsight You don't understand It's just an empty scene It's still an empty scheme You want to block it out But I know what I'm going to do With this big doubt I'm going to make it go away When you go walking out in The rose city Without a fucking clue With an attitude Knowing what you need What you will not do The enemy is you You beat up on yourself Because there ain't no one else Who feels quite as good To put straight through hell You know yourself well You know what you're about Just want to block it out Well, I know what I'm going to do With this big doubt I'm going to hide my face away Block it out Well, I know what I'm going to do With this big doubt I'm going to make it go away |

Waltz 1 -by Elliott Smith
Everytime the day darkens down and goes away pictures open in my head of me and you silent and cliché all the things we did and didn't say covered by what we did and didn't do going through every out i used to cope to make the repetition stop: what was i supposed to say? now i never leave my zone we're both alone i'm going home i wish i'd never seen your face |

7. 건초 속의 바늘 (Needle in the Hay)
네 손이 그의 팔 위에 네 목에 감긴 것은 건초더미 장식 우울하고 메마른 상태에서 친구에게 전화해 약간의 수표를 현금으로 바꾸려는 그의 움직임은 둔해보여 이것이 결국 네가 예상하게 된 결과겠지만 건초더미 속의 바늘 X4 그는 네 옷을 입고 있군 머리부터 발끝까지 너와 똑같아 넌 말한다 그가 무슨 짓을 했는지 안다고 하지만 이 멍청한 인간아 넌 뭐가 뭔지 아무것도 모르잖아 가끔씩 그것들이 눈에 잡히고서야 너는 그를 회복시키려 한다 건초더미 속의 바늘 X4 지금은 버스 안 가까스로 근접한 이 지독한 추락의 느낌 6번가와 파월 애비뉴에 떨어진 채 내 이빨에는 무감각한 땀 한 방울 네 블럭을 더, 그리고 내 머리속의 한 블럭까지 더한 거리를 걷고 또 걷고 또 걷고 네 블럭을 더가고, 내 기억속에 있는 한 블럭을 더가면 아래층에 사는 그 남자가 모든 걸 해결해 줄 것이다 나는 나를 이겨낼 수 없다 나는 나를 당해낼 수 없다 말하고 싶지도 않아 나는 치료를 받고있다 내가 원할 땐 언제나 조용히 있을 수 있겠지 그러니 이제 날 내버려둬 내 점수가 점점 좋아지는 것에 대해 자랑스러워 해야만 할거야 건초더미 속의 바늘 X4 |

Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do, you won't but you might The potential you'll be that you'll never see The promises you'll only make Drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days Do what I say and I'll make you okay and dive them away The images stuck in your head People you've been before that you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still Drink up baby, look at the stars, I'll kiss you again Between the bars where I'm seeing you There with your hands in the air waiting to finally be caught Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine Keep you apart deep in my heart seperate from the rest Where I like you the best And keep the things you forgot The people you've been before that you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll Keep them still |

O'm floating in a black balloon
O.D. on easter afternoon My mama told me baby stay clean There's no in between And all you ladies and you gentlemen Between is all you've ever seen or been Fit poorly and arrange the sight Doll it up in virgin white You disappoint me You people rakin' in on the world The devil's script sells You the heart of a blackbird Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart Sun is rising on a chopping glare Rain dropping acid blotter in the air A distorted reality's now a neccessity to be free So disappointing So first i put it all down to luck God knows why my country don't give a fuck fuck Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart |

Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell
And i'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling In the city i built up and blew to hell I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Still i sinned all the time My request for relief Down the dead power lines Though i'm beyond belief In the help i require Just to exist at all Took a long time to stand Took an hour to fall I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Stuck here waiting for a passing feeling |

I met a girl
Snowball in hell She's as hard And as cracked as a liberty bell And I got her to Come on move in with me And I said I'll find a better place Where we can spend eternity Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Her mother called me a thief And her dad called himself Commander and chief I fall in love with my love But I knew the kind of worthless ness we have to raise above Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay She had a dream Woke up in shock She had seen Her own body outlined in chalk No fingerprints were found on the gun And her ghost leaned down to kiss me With a message from the sun Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Don't go down Stay with me baby stay |

The king's crossing
is the main attraction Dominoes are falling in a chain reaction The scraping subject ruled by fear told me Whiskey works better than beer The judge is on vinyl decisions are final And nobody gets a reprieve And every wave is tidal if you hang around You're going to get wet I can't prepare for death any more than i already have All you can do now is watch the shells The game looks easy that's why it sells Frustrated fireworks inside your head Are going to stand and deliver talk instead The method acting that pays my bills Keeps a fat man feeding in beverly hills I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity And i get my check from the trash treasury Because i took my own insides out It don't matter cos i have no sex life All i want to do now is inject my ex wife I've seen the movie and i know what happens It's christmas time And the needles on the tree A skinny santa is bringing something to me His voice is overwhelming but his speech is slurred And i only understand every other word Open your parachute and grab your gun Falling down like an omen a setting sun Read the part and we turn out fine It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive But i don't care if i fuck up I'm going on a date with a rich white lady Ain't life great Give me one good reason not to do it This is the place where time reverses Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses Instruments shine on a silver tray Don't let me get carried away Don't let me get carried away Don't let me be carried away |

Here's the army
That you mowed to the ground And the bodies you left lying around Talking it out The last hour I'm through trying now It's a big relief I'll be staying down Where no-one else gonna give me grief Mess me around Just make it over Your opinion was the law of the land A single thing that i couldn't always understand I lived it out from hour to hour The only thing that never really changed You ran me all around And dragged me down At the end of the day Don't keep me around Just make it over I've been thinking of the things that i missed Situations that i passed up for this One way love i took for ours I'm through trying now It's a big relief I'll be staying down I wasn't good at being a theif More like a clown Make it over |

There are signs
Dividing in That I couldn't abide I wouldn't miss it again Burning every bridge that I cross To find some beautiful place to get lost I had true love But made it die Pushed out of the way She said please stay Burning every bridge that I cross To find some beautiful place to get lost To find some beautiful place to get lost I don't know where I'll go now And I don't really care who follows me there But ill burn every bridge that I cross To find some beautiful place to get lost To find some beautiful place to get lost |

One more little one
I'll go down stay down Sleep the rest of the day Dream new music to calm down Stay down and keep evil away I can hear you asleep Changing your shape Dissolved in some dream As a new one appears To take you along where you've never been One, two, three, four, five, six ? The moonlight tonight seems to belong to me Cause i even though some can't sleep They need some company One hit wouldn't hurt a bit at all Slow down sleep What's ? If it's good shit you won't know And i won't know the fact that i'm dying If i seem to be reckless with myself It's the fault of no one All things have a place Under the moon as well as the sun One more Little one i love you |

this is the place
you'll end up when you lose the chase where you're dragged against your will from a basement on the hill and all anybody knows is you're not like them and they kick you in the head and send you back to bed isolation pulled you pass a tunnel to a bright world where you can make a place to stay but everybody's scared of this place they're staying away your little house on memory lane the mayor's name is fear his voice patrols the pier from a mountain of cliche that advances everyday the doctor spoke a cloud he rained out loud you'll keep your doors and windows shut and swear you'll never show a soul again but isolation pushes you ‘til every muscle aches down the only road it ever takes but everybody's scared of this place they're staying away your little house on memory lane if it's your decision to be open about yourself be careful or else be careful or else uncomfortable apart it's all written on my chart and i take what's given to me most cooperatively i do what people say and lie in bed all day absolutely horrified i hope you're satisfied isolation pushes past self hatred, guilt and shame to a place where suffering is just a game but everybodys scared of this place they're staying away your little house on memory lane your little house on memory lane |

Sunshine, been keeping me up for days
There is no night time, it's only a passing phase And I feel pretty, pretty enough for you I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do Sometimes is all I feel up to now But it's not worth it to you Cos you gotta get out somehow It's the destruction that you require to feel Like somebody wants you, someone that's more for real Sunshine, been keeping me up for days There is no night time, only a passing phase And I'll feel pretty, another hour or two I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do Ugly before |

I saw a rich fuck giving charity Saw an evil emperor wearing my clothes Their far from the best But they might suit you better than the rest Just looking in the mirror Will make you a brave man I know my place Hate my face I know how I begin, and how I'll end Strung out again Was a parliament of owls Flying over a city of canals Floating on the body Floating in the dalles You get what you see Some things they just change invisiabally I don't know where I'm going I don't even want to know I know my place Hate my face I know how I begin and how I'll end Strung out again Standing, smiling on some fantasy island Waving at my lost reflection again But a tide coming in And I'm strung out again Strung out again |

There was grown man dying from fright
So surprised by the things he'd say With a giant fantasy life Running 'round on feet of clay Naked except for a perpetual debt That couldn't be stripped away An unrightable wrong that moved him Along closer to division day Spent a long time living with that Never could give it a name And when you don't know what you're Looking at it makes it much harder to take Mostly they'd meet when he was Asleep and have some sick exchange That stuck him as wrong and moved him Along closer to division day I can't make an exception for a bad Connection that only goes one way Sell out for a song where I don't belong With you on division day The moon stood up on the ridge Looking down where the water shines And a man looking over the bridge Like he done so many times Thinking about how to stay out Out of troubles way and Flying to fall away from you all It's over division day Beautiful division day Thinking about how to stay out Out of troubles way Flying to fall away from you all It's over division day Beautiful division day |
