this is one of my top 3 fav elliott smith songs. very unnoticed, underrated song.

I know that photo is just a trapped moment in time but he looks confident here.
A lions pose..even if just for that moment.
Rest easy, Elliott..

[deloraskane]

there's just something about the way he says "go home and live with your pain"...

[chiara-sophiemessarra]

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Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn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
Ever thought a ricochet
Did you notice?
Well I wondered
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

[TheDreamingJune]

That chorus always hits me hard. Elliott had an amazing gift with melody & songwriting.

[dithirambos]

21 years today, and that`s still so touching!

[kell]

Bet they adored him in Sweden. Humility, the golden virtue.

[codemonkeybrains]

"And when I go, don't you follow." Hearing that from a guy who killed himself puts a whole new spin on that line. At least for me.

[sarae]

So beautiful. It hurts my heart to listen.

[lasquish]

It reminds me of for no one by the beatles

[sinryu]

Pretty xure this song is way too much a bout me..

[thomasdap]

damn the bassist from radiohead was an even better songwriter than radiohead

[Ryanlarkinbowe]

A song for the socially incompetent, such as myself
