Name: Elliott Smith - Roman Candle (Live 1998-06-02 Studion) by Elliott Smith Essentials in Elliot
Duration: 3 min 15 s
Description: Live at Studion, Stockholm, Sweden on June 2, 1998

Does anyone else out there, feel guilty, for finding 'comfort' when listening to Elliott, when feeling dim and depressed. Like, almost feeling a sense of relief, in comparison to how in-tune and honest Elliott was, with the depressive state, I can't even the imagine?

Elliott Smith - Needle In The Hay (Live at Bumbershoot, 2000)

LYRICS:

to break this spell
that's come over like a fear
you should know
there's somewhere other 
than the hell that's sat right here, 
sit beside me
don't wail
sit beside me
don't hinder
sit beside me
and feel
and heal
I know you're hurt

When you whisper
I feel prickles down my spine
When you kissed her
I knew that was the last time 
I'd feel your sigh

So sit beside me
don't chase your tail
Now, sit beside me
but, don't linger
sit beside me
and feel the appeal
I know it hurts 
because it hurts me too

some times it gets dark
it's just like that in hell
sometimes there will be sparks
but there ain't no fire to sell
and that's where I used to fit
But I'm not gonna have a fit about it
I'm gonna aim for the best
and take you with me

So, sit beside me
don't wail
sit beside me
don't hinder
sit beside me
and feel
and heal
I know you're hurt

i don't believe in love in hell
I don't believe in you, as well
I don't believe we'll make it out alive, so, I'll sell
a piece of my soul if I can have some of you
I don't believe in love in hell
I don't believe in me, too
I don't believe we'll make it out alive, 
so I'll sell
a piece of my soul for you
and you can leave me with slivers
