Elliott Smith: "Pictures of Me", from the album Either/Or.

Lyrics:

Start stop and start

Stupid acting smart

Flirting with the flicks

You say it's just for kicks

You'll be the victim of your own dirty tricks

You got yourself to tease and displease

Doors swinging wide

You walked in to hide

Looking at your feet

Failure's complete

Saw you and me on the coin-op tv

Frozen in fear every time we appear

I'm not surprised and really, why should I be?

See nothing wrong

See nothing wrong

So sick and tired of all these pictures of me

Completely wrong

Totally wrong

Go walking by

Here come another guy

Jailer who sells personal hells

Who'd like to see me down on my fucking knees

Everybody's dying just to get the disease

Hey hey hey hey

I'm not surprised and really, why should I be?

See nothing wrong

See nothing wrong

So sick and tired of all these pictures of me

Completely wrong

Totally wrong

I'm not surprised and really, why should I be?

See nothing wrong

See nothing wrong

So sick and tired of all these pictures of me

Oh everybody's dying just to get the disease

Everybody's dying just to get the disease

Everybody's dying just to get the disease

Ian thanks for asking about whether I listened to the posthumous album of Eliot Smith the same day you, in a seemingly very suggestive manner, spoke of a superstitious *ahem* belief that "minor celebrities die in threes" not long after the death of three Buddhist monks, in Scotland, was reported by Wikinews, by way of a head-on car collision, when they were sitting in the back. I prefer "Either/Or" at this time.

I dont think he is talking about "pictures" literally..he is talking about how he has been perceived.

it's funny that you say that about the meaning of the song. he sort of predicted that people would take it that way, but in an interview said that it's actually about how people do such stupid stuff in movies, and how sometimes that affects how people act in real life. It really is an awesome song.

For those of you who are interested in the outrageous chords of this fantastic song (which are often "completely wrong" on various internet sites) I have written down what I consider to be the correct chords: wahlbrinck.de --> pictures-of-me-elliott-smith.htm

@Vamphaery I love the noise. In a lot of his songs he does that.

@Trumpour93 Just about to say that. Ah Elliott Smith, the world needs him alive.

@pr0dd2k9 I agree it's not intended to be taken as literally as tangible photographs - I think those "Pictures" of Elliott represent his insecurity and vulnerability to others perceptions. And that symbolism is the very same that anyone feels, really. It's just human nature, I guess. Anyways, I just couldn't help note the irony and commend who has become one of my favourite musicians and poets of all time.

@pr0dd2k9 Pretty much, it's about how people project what they want a person to be on a person, as compared to what they are.

@Trumpour93 I believe what Elliott meant by "Pictures of Me" was a thought of a person, not literally pictures of him, I'm sure he had no problems with photos of himself, I mean theres one on the album cover.
