Smith, Elliott - No Name #2 Lyrics
Concrete hands picked up the telephone ring
"Do you know who you're talking to?"
"No, and I don't care who"
She whispered quiet terror news
He didn't give a hoot
All she had to do was speak
Mouthpiece to cheek
"Please say no more"
"I'm lying here on the ground
A strip of wet concrete"
Her name was just a broken sound
A stutter step you hear when you're falling down
Killing time won't stop this crime
Killing time won't stop this crime
Killing time won't stop this crime
No more situations I only go in to be kicked out
He got knocked down leaving like he ran into a clothesline
And remembered a couple of words that hid a crime
"You're just fine
You'll be just fine
But I'm on the other line"
Killing time won't stop this crime
Killing time won't stop this crime
Killing time won't stop this crime

Smith, Elliott No Name #2 Comments
Killing time won't stop this crime? Or crying?
I always heard it as crime
Everyone one of my relationships
"No more situations I only go in to be kicked out"
I tell myself this every time a relationship starts, but it happens anyway
привет из россии)
прекрасная музыка, чудесные стихи
очень атмосферная композиция, всегда любил слушать её на ночь
жаль, что он умер, и я не могу послать свой порыв восхищения лично автору, но я рад, что есть ещё очень много людей на свете, которые хранят его музыку и память о нём, делая артиста ментально живым и по сей день
спасибо, что вы есть :)
Im calling this song concrete hands
best one
Better start watching what message you send now
No more situations I only go in
To be kicked out
Here missing Elliott on what would have been his 50th birthday. Rest easy.
What does Elliott actually sing in the chorus: “...won’t stop this crime” or “...this crying”?
Василий Воронин I heard “crime”
I like "crime" better
It's crying
One of my favs
Concrete hands picked up the telephone ring
Do you know who's you're talking to?
No, and I don't care who
She whispered quiet terror news
He didn't give a hoot
Said do what you have to do
All she had to do was speak
Mouthpiece to cheek
Please say no more
I'm lying here on the ground
A strip of wet concrete
Her name was just a broken sound
A stuttered step you hear when you're falling down
Killing time won't stop this crying
Killing time won't stop this crying
Killing time won't stop this crying
You better start watching what message that you send now
No more situations I only go in to be kicked out
He got knocked down leaning like he ran into a clothesline
And remembered a couple of words that hid a crime
You're just fine
You'll be just fine
But I'm on the other line
Killing time won't stop this crying
Killing time won't stop this crying
Killing time won't stop this crying
Elliot or Steven or I dont know very much about you but something is really important right now. your music is quite gold
"he didn't give a hoot , said do what you have to do"
Love the "you better start watching what message that you send out" section!

huggs ...
roman candle is his best album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of his albums are his best album. Altough "Elliott Smith" might be my favourite.
figure 8 is probably my favorite
you're there for me kill rock stars, and i love you for it.
A perfect word to represent Elliott Smith is sweetly depressing
bittersweet u sick fuck
Well, technically that is two words, but I understand, it's all good.
Does anyone know what chords he is using on the guitar in this song? I would really like to learn this song. I love it!
Dylan Ledford C - C/G - D7/F# - G for the chorus and main riff
Em - ( E ---2---3 this on your low e string) - F# - G - A7 - E - (e string riff) - G -A7 then repeat the first part up to the first G.
For the "he didn't give a hoot" and "her name was just a broken sound" you play these weird A7 shapes up the neck a bit. (X05050) - (X04040) - (X03030) to A7 (X02020). Then back to the main riff/progression (C - C/G - D7/F# - G).
For the bridge bit it's just the chords used previously in the song, play around and you'll figure it out. I hope this made sense
I like how it says 'HUGs' at the end of the link
@EXTREME CO. I know right.
"Her name was just a broken sound, a stutter-step you hear when you're falling down." Incredible.
Love the harmonica at the end.
This song never fails to kick me in the soul. <3
What a beautiful song!
Such a punch in such a beautiful piece.
Roman Candle will always be one of my favorite Smith albums...
Why so few views? This guy was the finest.
@Fury 161 Just let it be a secret gem... We all know his genius.
@Fury 161 Stuttering step you hear when you're falling down....
His albums before either or are more obscure
a lost genius
the music is almost child like with its happiness, like something that would be heard on Sesame Street. the lyrics are different story. thanks for posting this cleaned up version.
miss you, elliott
me too bud, me too
