Memory Lane (Lyrics) - Elliott Smith


Playing Next: Redbone - The Witch Queen Of New Orleans
Random Page  /  Random Song


LYRICS:
This is the place you end up when you lose the chase
Where you're dragged against your will from a basement on the hill
And all anybody knows is you're not like them
And they kick you in the head and send you back to bed
Isolation pulled you past a tunnel
To a bright world where you can make a place to stay
But everybody's scared of this place, they're staying away
Your little house on Memory Lane
The mayor's name is fear
His force patrols the pier
From a mountain of cliche
That advances every day
The doctor spoke a cloud
He rained out loud
You'll keep your doors and windows shut
And swear you'll never show a soul again
But isolation pushes you 'til every muscle aches
Down the only road it ever takes
But everybody's scared of this place, they're staying away
Your little house on Memory Lane
If it's your decision to be open about yourself
Be careful or else
Be careful or else
(Uncomfortable?) I'm comfortable apart
It's all written on my chart
And I take what's given me
Most cooperatively
I do what people say and lie in bed all day
Absolutely horrified
I hope you're satisfied
Isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt, and shame
To a place where suffering is just a game
But everybody's scared of this place, they're staying away
Your little house on Memory Lane
Your little house on Memory Lane

It's been seven years since I've uploaded this song and its been a treasure of mine to see everyone's love for it. I'm proud and happy to have played a small part in some of your discoveries of the tune and even of the artwork by Leonid Afremov. As of now there only appears to be two studio versions of the song available on youtube (mine and /u/donkeywithsumpizzazz), however if any agency or party wish to have the video removed for whatever reason contact me directly at tomdonbrown@gmail.com. I hold no intention to monetize the video and simply want people to have access to the material. Spread the love everybody and above all, keep happy.
