Something's happening, don't speak too soon

I told the boss off and made my move

Got nowhere to go

Son of Sam, son of a shining path, the clouded mind

Couple killer each and every time

I'm not uncomfortable, feeling weird

Lonely leered, options disappear

But I know what to do

Son of Sam, son of a doctor's touch, a nurse's love

Acting under orders from above

King for a day

Son of Sam, son of a shining path, the clouded mind

Couple killer running out of time

Shiva opens her arms now

To make sure I don't get too far

I may talk in my sleep tonight

Because I don't know what I am

I'm a little like you, more like Son of Sam

There's a much better acoustic version of this. Search for Son of Sam Acoustic Demo and you'll find it.

I heard "Between the Bars" first and then "Son of Sam". My thought after listening to both was: "This Elliot Smith guy is amazing.. and I think he has depression."I have depression too, but little did I know how strong his was - he took his own life in the end.. sad day for me when I found out.A shoutout to all depressed people out there. Whenever you break down, cry for no reason or feel suizidal - go to someone and surround yourself as often as possible with friends, family...

Awesome video, thanks for posting. Hard to go a day without some Elliott, whose been there for a lot of people even in his absence. Wish I'd seen him live, but at least he left us with a trace.

There was a single where it was the b-side to Happiness.

I really like this version. The one on Figure 8 is great as well, but I do think it translates into a one man acoustic song nicely. Well put together video as well. Thanks for posting. :)

Nice point. Should be worth noting the views/comment ratio; indicating the majority do listen and enjoy without needs for douche-baggery comments. Theres always gonna be some. But how can you say anything bad about Elliott? His melodies were undoubtedly genius
