I'm a big Elliott Smith fan. Was thinking today that these two songs are kinda Hisoillu, no?

:

Your hand on his arm

Haystack charm around your neck

Strung out and thin

Calling some friend trying to cash some check

He's acting dumb

That's what you've come to expect

Needle in the hay

He's wearing your clothes

Head down to toes a reaction to you

You say you know what he did

But you idiot kid

You don't have a clue

Sometimes they just get caught in the eye

You're pulling him through

Needle in the hay

Now on the bus

Nearly touching this dirty retreat

Falling out

6th and Powell, a dead sweat in my teeth

Gonna walk, walk, walk

Four more blocks plus the one in my brain

Down downstairs to the man

He's gonna make it all okay

I can't be myself

I can't be myself and I don't want to talk

I'm taking the cure so I can be quiet wherever I want

So leave me alone

You ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks

Needle in the hay

You walk down Alameda shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone

Like some precious only son

Face down, bow to the champion

You walk down Alameda looking at the cracks in the sidewalk, thinking about your friends

How you maintain all them in a constant set of suspense

For your own protection, over their affection

Nobody broke your heart

You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start

Walk down Alameda brushing off the nightmares you wish could plague me when I'm awake

So now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate

For one or two minutes she liked you

But the fix is in

You're all pretension, I never pay attention

Nobody broke your heart

You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start

Nobody broke your heart
