WATCH: Previously Unknown Elliott Smith Track Disses Nine Inch Nails...

Read Full Story >

A short-haired Elliott Smith in concert from 1995, shot by Mary Lou Lord and posted on the Glorious Noise blog today:

In the lyrics he sings:

the feedback starts and the singer yells
“i’d rather die than give you control”
but he’s already sold the whole damn thing for a big loan

Full lyrics below

More footage from the show, via the Elliott Smith message board:

“We’re All Friends Now”
handcuffed to the bar, their bodies jerk back and forth
they watch the band finish their set
they look like sharks swimming in the swells
the feedback starts and the singer yells
“i’d rather die than give you control”
but he’s already sold the whole damn thing for a big loan
i stepped out for a light, stepped out for a smoke
in the parking lot you’re all going for broke
you’ve been marinated in whiskey and gin
you say we’re all friends now and it runs down your chin
oh yes, we’re all friends now
oh yeah, we’re all friends now
we’re all friends now
oh yes, we’re all friends now
oh yeah, we’re all friends now
we’re all friends now
oh yes, we’re all friends now
oh yeah, we’re all friends now
we’re all friends now
