Elliott Smith - Looking Over My Shoulder Lyrics
Wiped out in the city slick
Another sick rock 'n' roller acting like a dick
Needing cash
Burning through the trash
That piles up in this place
Full of things that I'm not to do
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
I run down to the corner lot
It's forty-five past two
I almost forgot to show
After which
I won't care when you all start to bitch and moan
About being alone
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
Well, can't you just leave me alone?
You've already thrown all the sticks and stones
You had to send my way
Well, can't you just leave it at that?
And spare us both the bother
Because I just bounce back anyway
I got nothing that I want to do more
Than make another sonic "fuck you" to play
Whenever you make my life cliche
So to fit in some little box with the all the labeled shit
You would say to keep confusion away
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away

Elliott Smith Looking Over My Shoulder Comments
This song is a vibe
I remember I used to have this song stuck in my head for like a year and I was on Spotify, listening to new moon and this song played, and I instantly knew it was the song that was stuck in my head
We are a group of music lovers nerding out over our favorite songs that fall under a new theme each day. Come show us what you got! Today’s theme is “Beat”.

A little less in your face than amy winehouse's "rehab", but all in the same vein
jaag enderb nice double entendre
The mainline
A great song to smoke coke to
Ha been there
i never thought Id be that guy but WHO THE FUCK DISLIKES THIS SHIT
God, I miss him
shut the fuck up about angst. his lyrics and guitar make you look like a bitch
timeless gem
I just can't stop loving this song
Because I just bounce back anyway,
I got nothing that I want to do more
Than make another sonic "fuck you" to play,
Whenever you make my life cliché
I believe it's "sonnet fuck you."
AshtrayWasp ...@schwarzblatt ...it is sonic, sonic is sound, he writes songs, fuck you songs when in the mood.... his lyrics may also be poetry to the listener, and poetry was originally sung, so there is logic in your reasoning, but for the purposes of this song, it's "sonic"
I think of sonnet as in a "fuck you" love poem. Sort of a juxtaposition. We both have our own interpretations. :)
its sonnet lol
I think the "best" songwriters of "our" generation is a strong tossup between Elliott Smith and john frusciante.
this is kinda sad because elliott died 15 years ago and frusciante is missing
John frusciante
@Bruno P. what
Uvwaex meaning fru is a ghost man. he slips in and out of places. no one knows where he is or what hes doing, which is a bummer cause he's a phenomenal artist
Lol those are my two favorite artists.
elliott was so pissed at the people at his intervention.
This is pure angst but the chords are really cool
*AND the chords are really cool
We don't fucking have time for comments like this bud.
Give yer.balls a tug
Angst bad. Me good.
@Darmodien Or you could just let him have his opinion. You think elliott gave shits about what anyone thought about him or his music. Listen to the song. Not everyone can handle Elly.
best singer / song writer of our times, no doubt whatsoever
awesome
