Smith, Elliott - Needle In The Hay Lyrics






Your hand on his arm
Haystack charm around your neck
Strung out and thin
Calling some friend trying to cash some check
He's acting dumb
That's what you've come to expect

Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

He's wearing your clothes
Head down to toes a reaction to you
You say you know what he did
But you idiot kid
You don't have a clue
Sometimes they just get caught in the eye
You're pulling him through

Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

Now on the bus
Nearly touching this dirty retreat
Falling out
6th and Powell, a dead sweat in my teeth
Gonna walk, walk, walk
Four more blocks plus the one in my brain
Down downstairs to the man
He's gonna make it all okay
I can't be myself
I can't be myself and I don't want to talk
I'm taking the cure so I can be quiet wherever I want
So leave me alone
You ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks

Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

    Ach daheeeeeerrrr kenn ich es, Gott ich hab schonüberall geschaut in welchen Filmen der Song vorkam und so weiter :D Weißt du zufällig welche Folge? Oder war es die letzte Halligalli?

    C.... D....

    In ganz vielen Sachen von HalliGalli z.B Klaas als er sein Doppelgänger seine aufgabe machen lassen wollte, musst eingeben klaas vulkan und dann wo sie im england trikot am beach erwischen

  33. k.... ....

    Kurt is it you?

  34. R.... C....

    Why do you think "Needle in the Hay" was chosen for that scene in The Royal Tenenbaums? Maybe that has something to do with what the song means

    R.... C....

    Ron Carroll Maybe it’s to symbolise how he’s just a needle in the haystack full of love interests his sister has had

  35. R.... C....

    Beautifully depressing. I love this song.

  36. s.... r....

    The Guitar at the start wow

    Thank You

  44. C.... B....

    Recently heard an interview with Anton Newcombe from BJM saying he knew the secret to elliots success, WHAT? Bullshit Anton just hates anyone thats more talented than him which IS hard cos Anton is good but sorry elliot was a true genius even more so than Dylan

    C.... B....

    Big fan of Anton and the BJM's music but recently discovered this artist irrespective of that comment. Yeah I also notice that he has an attitude to a lot of what he says about other artists of this kind of caliber. I think it's just a genius complex thing he has in his head, where he can't help but be highly critical of music and will only give the time of day to the kind of music that stands out from the rest, like this and don't forget, although it doesn't excuse his ignorance, Anton was far gone enough to have ended up dead or worse a few years back - his head was in a dark and hazy place. Despite what people say the guy is super intelligent and his music stands on its own. Never associate the artists views with the music necessarily, they should be separate entities in their own right. For the record Anton Newcombe's arrangement work is unmatched for it's uniqueness in my opinion, despite how many people have adopted the sound in their own way in the psychedelic and alt rock scene since the 90s.

  45. P.... M....

    Why fuck Pewdiepie?
    When somebody shows to you an incredible song I think it's nice to thank.
    Eliott Smith is a jewel

  46. i.... ....

    Previously, I was only aware of Melissa Laveaux's cover of this song from her first album, and yes, it's a great cover but this... this is exceptional. A creeping slow burn of a song that commands your attention.

  47. D.... ....

    "You outta be proud that I'm getting good marks.".

  48. s.... ....

    it's strange loads of little kids who like pewwhateverthe fuck like a song about heroin addiction.

  49. D.... ....

    srsly people fuck off with ur pewdiepoop bullshit

  50. K.... D....

    Great songs don't need being commented by wankers. Hidden Beauty.

  51. R.... K....

    Thanks to Pewds

  52. J.... A....

    Why is this not popular? It deserves sooo many views. Great song!

  53. A.... ....

    What a boring song.

    A.... ....

    +ACRetro your life is boring

    A.... ....

    Hahahahaha

  54. o.... e....

    I love this song very much it was the first song I ever heard by Elliott smith , and now I am drowning with all his music , so sad that he died but anyways great music :)

  55. R.... ....

    fuck pewdiepie, the first thing that introduced me to this was royal tenenbaums when I was seven.

    R.... ....

    Cool, you get 76 internet awesomness points! 

    R.... ....

    Love that movie.

  56. �.... ....

    僕らは生きている。

    どんな人間でも、皆生きている。

    どんな障害があろうとも、どんな苦難が立ちはだかっても一生懸命に生きている。

    人は皆生きている。

    僕らが生きることを諦めない限り人は生きている。

    君は、もう諦めてしまうのかい?

    君の人生はそれ程辛いものだったか?

    君の見た世界はそれ程退屈なものだったか?

    君は、まだ世界の一部も知らない。

    そんな君が自分の人生を終わらすにはまだ、早い。

    君が生きている世界には必ず素晴らしい世界が存在する。

    君はそれを見たのかい?

    いや、まだ見てはいない。

    君は人生を諦めるまでには、早過ぎる。

    君の人生はそれ程退屈なもので良かったのか?

  57. A.... B....

    thanks wes anderson

    A.... B....

    Thank you Elliot Smith!

  58. R.... V....

    I'm a Marilyn Manson fan but I still love this song

    R.... V....

    It's been a really long time since I ate pasta 'cause I'm on a diet, but I still love this song

    R.... V....

    i fucking laughed for 10 straight minutes

    R.... V....

    love the comment section. 😂😂

    R.... V....

    i am no heroin junkie but i still can enjoy this

    R.... V....

    I spied on my father and the milkmen from behind the couch but I still love this song

  59. M.... B....

    thank you pewdiepie.

    M.... B....

    @tylerandcodypros So we should prepare for a shit storm, I'm assuming. 

    M.... B....

    @Kucingtigers
    it's already happening

    M.... B....

    @Kucingtigers You mean a sandstorm - ...Darude - Sandstorm?

    M.... B....

    @baconandhex This is what i call comedy

    M.... B....

    @Kucingtigers storm i goin on

  60. C.... G....

    This song and all of Elliot Smith for that matter is under appreciated for sure. 

  61. c.... ....

    Almost 10,000 views and only one comment? Well anyway, I love this song! It needs to be more popular.

    c.... ....

    That's probably because of me. I use this song to get to sleep.

    c.... ....

    The music speaks for itself. There's plenty of comments now though.

    c.... ....

    fear of silence? simply there's nothing much to say in response of the feeling express by this song. It's no fun. Maybe represents a situation that everyone here understand and share, but difficult to express in words. Sometimes silence it's the better response.

    c.... ....

    No si se vuelve mas popular pierde su ecencia

  62. c.... b....

    I really hope this doesn't get taken down. Thanks for posting it! I love this song so much.

    c.... b....

    Elliot's dead, I don't think anyone will be complaining about his music being available freely on Youtube.

    c.... b....

    @AlaskanThunder245 If someone still has the capability of making money off of him then there is still a chance it may be taken down.
