Elliott Smith
This is the place where time reverses.
Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses.
Instruments shine on a silver tray
Don't let me get carried away.
Smith quotes
Veins full of disappearing ink
Vomitting in the kitchen sink.
Smith
Because your candle burns too bright
well, I almost forgot it was twilight.
Even if I think that you are right,
well, I'm tired of being down, I got no fight.
You're wonderful, and it's beautiful,
but I'm already somebody's baby.
And if i went with you, I'd disappoint you, too.




Smith Elliott quotes
I see you're leaving me and taking up with the enemy
the cold comfort of the in between
a little less than a human being
a little less than a happy high
a little less than a suicide
the only things that you really tried.
Smith Elliott
So I wait for confirmation
That you're never gonna use your starting gun.
Elliott Smith quotes
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.
Elliott Smith
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time
I better stop now before I start crying
Go off to sleep in the sunshine
I don't want to see the day when its dying.
Smith Elliott quotes
I think the music business will eventually crush me, but I [smiles]... I'm ready.
Smith
Here's a song I made up while I was watching Xena the Warrior Princess with the sound off. It's a fact. I had a secret crush on Xena. It was a secret to me too. I wouldn't admit it. She's pretty fuckin' tough. She has a good yell... she kills the stupid gladiators with the log-trap. Release the log-trap! She releases the log-trap and they all get... crushed. They'd all wanna be with her if they could, but unfortunately they're not on her side. It's a lot better with the sound off. Really, it is. And the song didn't have anything to do with Xena... but... I was about half a bottle through Jameson's... if that makes any sense.
Smith Elliott
I'm in love with the world,
Through the eyes of a girl,
Who's still around the morning after.
Elliott Smith
There's some records that sell millions of copies, that it's really unclear if anybody liked it who was making it, y'know?




Elliott Smith quotes
Crooked spin can't come to rest,
I'm damaged bad at best.
Elliott Smith
Wearing clothes that clash
Wondering 'is this treasure, is this trash?'
Still trying to decide
Smith quotes
Bored in a role, but he can't stop
Standing up to sit back down,
and lose the one thing found.
Spinning the world like a toy top
'till there's a ghost in every town.
