Elliott Smith - No Name #1 Lyrics
At a party
He was waiting
Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
Like he could be underwater
The mighty mother with her hundred arms
I hate to walk behind other people's ambition
I saw you waiting
Saint-like
With your warning
Leave alone
You don't belong here
He got nervous
Started whistling
Ever thought a ricochet
Did you notice?
What's the worst thing I could say?
Froze up and sighed
You remind me of someone's daughter
I forgot her
I forgot her name, ashamed
Go home
And live with your pain
Leave alone
Leave alone, cos you know you don't belong
You don't belong here
And when I go
Don't you follow
Leave alone
Leave alone, cos you know you don't belong
You don't belong here
Slip out quiet
Nobody's looking
Leave alone
You don't belong here

"when I go, don't you follow"
Thank u Elliott❤
How can I miss someone so much when I never even knew them?
Just perfect!
At a party he was waiting
Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
Like he could be underwater
The mighty mother with her hundred arms
Swept all aside
I hate to walk behind other people's ambition
I saw you waiting
Saint like
With your warning
Leave alone
You don't belong here
He got nervous
Started whistling
Every thought a ricochet
Did you notice?
Well I wondered
What's the worst thing I could say?
And I froze up and sighed
You remind me of someone's daughter
I forgot her
I forgot her name ashamed
Go home and live with your pain
Leave alone
Leave alone ‘cause you know you don't belong
You don't belong here
And when I go
Don't you follow
Leave alone
Leave alone ‘cause you know you don't belong
You don't belong here
Slip out quiet
Nobody's looking
Leave alone
You don't belong here
He is the realest of songwriters.. only a handful can compare
This and #3 are my fav No Name songs by him.
"Speechless" how he play the guitar. :')
Leave alone, you don't belong here 😞

The Beta Male Anthem
gymnopedie he's talking about his iwn herion addiction . I'm an alpha you punk.
0/10 comment, feel bad about yourself and rethink your life
@Erik Frost 10/10 comment. Doing god's work putting him in his place.
this is kind of funny honestly
If you don't think this is the beta male anthem just search up covers kf this song and look at the guys playing them. Even the chick that covers it is a beta chick hanging with a beta guy.

"O! Why was I born with a different face?
Why was I not born like the rest of my race?
When I look, each one starts; when I speak, I offend;
Then I’m silent and passive, and lose every friend."
-William Blake, but this song and Elliott in general remind me of it
I listen to this before going to any social gathering
interesting
Coincidentally today while driving uber listening in on my rider having a 3 way conversation with her gfs talking shit about a few guys socially awkward, non stop.
you dont belong here
i don't think that's good preparation, i'd rather listen to it afterwards to reinforce my selfdestructive thoughts after i left early and alone.
This would be a great song of his to cover, being bipolar type one, I TOTALLY feel what he writes about. I keep listening to it. I guess I will go watch Heaven Adores You... R.I.P. Elliot, you are a legend, for being an intense artist..
I know you're feel. I am bipolar type 2. Just keep your head up buddy :)
saint like. With your warning.
"Leave alone" is such a goddamn evocative phrase. It's at once both heavy with implication and yet open to the imagination.
This is one of the best songs ever! All of his music is amazing! If you are new to Elliott Smith, do yourself a favor and listen to ALL of his music. I'm proud to say that he is my all-time favorite musician.
No song or album makes my heart physically hurt like this.
RIP Elliott.
No gimmicks or posing just a really great song written by a really great songwriter
"go home and live with your pain"
Living with my pain is something I've grown used to. Not such a horrible proposition for me. I find my problems begin when I compare my pain with others. I perceive, falsely, that everybody else somehow has an easier time of it or a better time of it. This is patently false.
<333333333333333333
Many of us were taught to ignore our pain. It is only in facing your darkest fears that your demons lose their power. It takes courage. You may just fall harder than before. You might just also learn to stand. <3
Sometimes its easy. Sometimes it's pretty fucking hard.
heart breaking
Love this song!
my friend and I used to get super fucked up playing beer pong and then go out to his car and do a bunch of drugs and listen to elliot smith and bright eyes all night to the point that everyone else thought we just always left for the night. #summer06
Or they thought you were making out. I don't mean to come off like your typical internets denizen who cruises the boards looking for someone to troll. I was simply making a statement. In other news, Elliott Smitg's music speaks to me across space and time. The music is....watching me.
+Lucas Smith nah I feel that. there was. bit they thought we were gay with eachother.
LMAO this reminds me of myself in art school circa 05-09 get high with good friends, play some Elliott Smith and walk around Portland Oregon until the sun came up.
Ur gay bro
I love you Elliott
Man, it's incredible how so many of his songs just break my heart. That is true talent.
+madison hermon It's so raw.. very touching
saint like with your warning...
Beautiful and utterly sublime. Apparently JJ Gonson, Elliott's girlfriend at the time, had a hand in composing this track.
Ohh...So heartbreaking,,,,No One as Lovely as Elliott should have to "go home,live with your pain..."He did "slip out quite....",but those whom his Life and Spirit reached were looking....Rest in Peace Elliott,but may your music never rest,never be quite...
How could someone write something so amazing?
@OMGicantwayyyyyyyyyy Being in the wonderful city that is Portland at the time between Portlandia and the punk explosion of the 80's.
one of the best songs ever tbh
