"Signed Curtain" by Matching Mole

This is the first verse This is the first verse This is the first verse This is the first verse... And this is the chorus Or perhaps it's a bridge Or just another part of the song that I'm singing This is the second verse Or it may the last verse This is the second verse Or it may the last one And this is the chorus Or perhaps it's a bridge Or just another key change Never mind It doesn't hurt It only means that I lost faith in this song 'Cause it won't help me reach you...

"Sink to the Beat" by Cursive

I'll try to make this perfectly clear, I'm so transparent I disappear These words I lyrically defecate upon songs I boldly claim to create Clint steps in to establish the beat, 4/4 hip-hop and you don't stop This unique approach to start an EP, intended to shock, create a mystique A cheap strategy, a marketing scheme, building awareness for the next LP They've got a good fan base, they've got integrity They've got a DC sound, Shudder to Think, Fugazi And Chapel Hill around the early 90s: This is the latest from Saddle Creek

I wish you'd tell me, I don't know [...] It's unintelligible I just can't get it through my skull [...] And I forgot the next verse Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse The lyric sheet's so hard to find What are the words? Oh, nevermind"

"So Far, So Bad" by Five Iron Frenzy

"Don't worry what this song would say, you'll never hear it anyway. They won't play this song on the radio, so far, so bad, that's how it goes." "The rhyme scheme to this song was mostly flawless, it might have made good poetry. It could have bridged the gap between the classes, and overthrown the bourgeoisie. It made a couple points about the future, and how the past was kind of uncool, and if you ever tried to play it backwards, it told the kids to stay in school." "This song is rad. You could ask your dad. He won't be mad. This song is stupid."

"So Much For The Afterglow" by Everclear
