everybody cares, everybody understands by elliott smith

everybody cares, everybody understands
yes, everybody cares about you
yeah and whether or not you want them to

it's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
to a pure, synthetic sympathy
that infuriates you totally
and a quiet lie that makes you want to scream and shout

so here i lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun...
raining its guiding light upon everyone

for a moment's rest you can lean against the banister
after running up stairs again and again
from wherever they came to fix you in
but always fear city's finest follow right behind
you got a pretty vision in your head
a pencil full of poison lead
and a sickened smile illegal in every town

so here i lay dreaming
looking at the brilliant sun
raining its guiding light upon everyone

you say you mean well, you don't know what you mean.
fuckin ought to stay the hell away from things you know nothing about.

I love your voice, it reminds me of something from decades ago....

Fucking love elliott smith. You're one of the few who I feel has done him justice with their cover.

[teddyadventures]

i like this song

[Jiveness]

you should be in a dubstep band. Your vocals are great with this.

[aoifebrady]

That was great...

I wasn't looking forward to hearing another Elliott cover, to be honest I usually sit and cringe while people butcher his stuff... Even Conor Oberst did a mediocre job, but this was awesome. Well done.
