Elliott Smith:
You're not that great of a lyricist, contrary to common belief.

This is true.

Although I think he makes up for it with the way he arranges the lyrics with the music, they usually come together very nicely. It's the only way he could get away with something like Everything Means Nothing To Me.. lol.

I don't even know the lyrics to that and it's spent time at #1 on my list of favorite Smith songs.

I don't think he says anything but Everything Means Nothing To Me in that song... yet it's still amazing. Not many artists can get away with that.

Someone found the future as a statue in a fountain
At attention, looking backward in a pool of water
Wishes with a blue songbird on his shoulder
Who keeps singing over everything
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
I picked up the song and found my picture in the paper
The reflection in the water showed an iron man still trying to salute
People from a time when he was everything he's supposed to be
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
