Elliott Smith - Looking Over My Shoulder

LYRICS

Wiped out in the city slick

Another sick rock 'n' roller acting like a dick

waving cash

Burning through the trash

That piles up in this place

And fills up behind my empty face

Full of things that I'm not to do

You come over with all of your friends

And all their opinions I don't want to know

And I'm looking over my shoulder

Booking away with nowhere to go

I run down to the corner lot

It's forty-five past two

I almost forgot to show

Got a date to make with Mr. So-and-So

After which

I won't care when you all start to bitch and moan

About being alone

You come over with all of your friends

And all their opinions I don't want to know

And I'm looking over my shoulder

Booking away with nowhere to go

Well, can't you just leave me alone?

You've already thrown all the sticks and stones

You had to send my way

Well, can't you just leave it at that?

And spare us both the bother

Because I just bounce back anyway

I got nothing that I want to do more

Than make another sonic fuck you to play

Whenever you make my life cliche

So to fit in some little box with the all the lame bullshit

You say to keep confusion away

You come over with all of your friends

And all their opinions I don't want to know

And I'm looking over my shoulder

Booking away with nowhere to go

You come over with all of your friends

And all their opinions I don't want to know

And I'm looking over my shoulder

Booking away

Rap Artists arten't dipships. The best are in fact remarkably talented and smart people. I love the rap of the early 90's. I also love the music of Elliott Smith. Very much.

I got nothing that I want to do More than make another sonic "Fuck You" to play whenever you make my life cliche So to fit in some little box with all the lame bull-shit You say to keep confusion away Sweet Adeline is a pretty good resource sometimes, but do keep in mind: all their lyrics are user interpretations. The one above is mine.

Ben, just because that two bit talentless hack has popularity over Elliott doesn't mean he's superior. I for one am GLAD he isn't because he'd have dicks like you calling him a god and pissing people off. But by your logic the Jonas Brothers must be better than The Offspring and New Moon must be better than Fight Club, because more people like them, right?

fuck that - dave matthews should put a bullet in his brain - I have yet to see anyone who does an Elliott Smith song justice. He was as good as it gets.
