| | Elephant Lyrics Artist(Band):Damien Rice
I said, this has got to stop This has got to lie down With someone else on top Well, you can keep me pinned It's easier to tease But you can't paint an elephant Quite as good as she And she may cry like a baby And she may drive me Crazy 'Cause I am lately lonely So why'd you have to lie? I take it I'm your crutch The pillow in your pillow case Is easier to touch And when you think you've sinned Do you fall upon your knees? Or d'you sit within your picture? Do you still forget the breeze? And she may rise, if I sing you down And she may wisely cling to the ground Cause I am lately, horny So why would she take me thorny? What's the point of this song? Or even singing? You've already gone, why am I clinging? Well I could throw it out, and I could live without And I could do it all for you I could be strong Tell me if you want me to lie 'Cause this has got to die I said, this has got to stop This has got to lie down, down With someone else on top You can both keep me pinned 'Cause it's easier to tease But you can't make me happy Quite as good as me Well you know that's a lie If you find some error in Elephant Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Elephant the blowers daughter theory | Reviewer: anonyboy | 5/21/09 i agree with that, sorry for my english i'm mexican hahaha i dont know much of writing but i understand english perfect i think she left the girl about the blowers daughter his old girlfriend and he started a new relationship whit another girl... but she cant paint an elephant quite as goos as she ee eee jaja... and he just break out with that girl and tell the blowers daughter he cant live without her... and shes the one on the top understand??? Viva Damien Rice Rebuttle | Reviewer: Q | 4/27/09 Im pretty certain this song is the rebuttle, or second part to the blowers daughter.. "do you still forget the breeze" for example. And the "this has got to stop, this has got to lie down, with someone else on top" whatever has been going on or hasnt needs to be over, and only with because of another. Also the part about her not being able to "draw an elephant quite as good as she" for some reason just makes me think of the whole saying theres the big pink elephant in the room..and that other girl just doesnt have that un-nameable factor or presence of the girl he needs to get over. just my two cents. think he is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/19/09 I love this song, and all of Damien Rice's work. The music is so beautiful, and expressive. I have trouble fully understanding the meaning of the lyrics though, so thank you to the Reviewer who explained it. It really helped Connection | Reviewer: Sara | 1/19/09 I love his music. True, he does bring a lot of hurtful emotions up, but his lyrics are amazing. You can hear his hurt and his feelings in his voice, and I love that about his music. A lot of artists don't make a connection between voice and lyrics, so you don't really feel the song. Damien makes that connection, and it affects every listener. Ouch | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/4/09 I've always loved Damien Rice's music, but I never really related to it until about 3:00 am this morning...the weird part is that it's not me feeling this pain, I'm the one the pain is being felt over... my perception | Reviewer: Anomynous. | 12/14/08 I can really relate to this song. I have an ex-boyfriend who was in love with this girl who really didn't care about him all that much. She just kinda had him there for her own pleasure. And then there was me...The one who really loved him and who has always wanted to be with him. But we always had our problems. (usually me ending up driving him crazy because i was too dependent on him.) We both him him though, he just couldn't decide which was the better catch. The cold, heartless girl or the vulnerable clingy one. Well this has got to die I said, this has got to stop This has got to lie down With someone else on top [Eventually he's going to have to pick one, this back and forth between the two has got to stop.] Well, you can keep me pinned It's easier to tease But you can't paint an elephant Quite as good as she [ Referring to the girl who doesn't need him in the first two lines. And then he compares her to the other girl in the last two. I think how she's better at caring and being there for him.] And she may cry like a baby And she may drive me Crazy [About the needy girl who crys when he leaves her, and she drives him crazy.] So why'd you have to lie? I take it I'm your crutch The pillow in your pillow case Is easier to touch [About the girl who doesn't need him. She lied to him, used him. Not a real relationship because it was covered with lies, and never really able to be honest. The real thing was never touched.] You can both keep me pinned 'Cause it's easier to tease But you can't make me happy Quite as good as me [ He was in love with them both. They both made him happy at some point.] Those are the main parts that i thought described the situation well. I would keep going through and analyzing them all but i have a few things to get done. And plus who knows if anyone actually agrees with what i just said. Or even if someone with actually read this.. But thats just what the song means to me. And i can pretty much relate to the whole thing. but i don't get it | Reviewer: ytonysin | 10/20/08 I can feel the sad mood of that song but I cannot fully understand the lrics cause English is not my 1st language. oh please help me to understand. please take me to the same space where demien lives......... Amazing | Reviewer: anonymous | 9/1/08 this song IS amazing and so is Damien. I love it so much, though it hurts me every time to hear it. I love the "But you can't paint an elephant Quite as good as she" Like the person loves doesn't love him for a reason that seems as stupid as that. fuck | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/25/08 i don't know if you're allowed to swear in these wee comment booths .. but fuck . this song makes me cry so hard. all of damien rice's work just depresses me. i absolutely adore his music. it's the way it's meant to be, make you feel. i can't get enough my mind reader | Reviewer: mary | 3/3/08 oh gosh this song is so amazing and damien really points out how it's like to love something and lose it. it's so hard. it's not so much pain to make you die, but it's enough to make it hard to fully live. but this song makes me feel a little better cuz i know that someone else has felt like this.
