Elliott Smith Quotes

I'm a junkyard full of false starts
And I don't need your permission
To bury my love under this bare light bulb.
The moon is a sickle cell
It'll kill you in time.

I met a girl, snowball in hell she was hard and as cracked as the liberty bell.

Don't you know that I love you?
sometimes I feel like
only a cold still life
only a frozen still life
that fell down here to lay beside you.

Here come your pride and joy
The comic little drunk you call your boy,
Making everybody smile

You don't deserve to be lonely,
but those drugs you got won't make you feel better. Pretty soon you'll find it's the only little part of your life you're keeping together.

I'm in love with the world,
Through the eyes of a girl,
Who's still around the morning after.

I think the music business will eventually crush me, but I [smiles]... I'm ready.

I'm looking at a hand full of broken plans
And I'm tired of playing it down
You just want her to do anything to you
There ain't nothing you won't allow
You wake up in the middle of the night
From a dream you won't remember flashing on like a cop's light
You say she's waiting and I know what for
The white lady loves you more

I'd say you make the
perfect angel in the snow
all crushed out on the way
you are, I'd better stop before
it goes too far.

I'm sorry you seem so stung,
and I'm sorry you feel you have to hold your tongue
when you're so pretty and smart

Crooked spin can't come to rest,
I'm damaged bad at best.

Wearing clothes that clash
Wondering 'is this treasure, is this trash?'
Still trying to decide

The scraping subjects, ruled by fear, they told me
whiskey works better than beer.

What I used to be will pass away, and then you'll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me.

You turned white, like a saint
But I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold...
...Flecked paint.
