Between The Bars
Elliott SmithKeep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
Oh Well, Okay
Elliott SmithElliott Smith - “Oh Well, Okay”
XO, 1998.
Here’s the silhouette, the face always turned away
The bleeding color gone to black, dying like a day
Couldn’t figure out what made you so unhappy
Shook your head to say no no no
And stopped for a spell
And stayed that way
Oh well, okay
I got pictures, I just don’t see it anymore
Climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
With the one I keep, where it never fades
In the safety of a pitch-black mind
An airless cell
That blocks the day
Oh well, okay
If you get a feeling next time you see me
Do me a favor and let me know
Cause it’s hard to tell
It’s hard to say
Oh well, okay
Oh well, okay
Oh well, okay
Another one of my favorite songs from Elliott Smith.
Ballad Of Big Nothing
Elliott Smith“Do what you want to whenever you want to
Though it doesn’t mean a thing…
Big nothing…”
Say Yes

through the eyes of a girl
Who’s still around
the morning after
Say Yes
Elliott SmithI’m damaged bad at best
She’ll decide what she wants
St. Ides Heaven
Elliott Smithelliott smith st ides heaven
…’cos everyone is a fucking pro
and they all got answers from trouble they’ve known
and they all gotta say what you should and shouldn’t do
though they don’t have a clue
Either/Or
Elliott SmithElliott Smith—Either/Or (New Moon, 2007)
It’s a useful dream that makes
Quite an entertaining show and not much more
Up against and for, either/or.
