Neutral Milk Hotel
On Avery Island
Every vaguely alternative kid worth their salt knows a well-placed Neutral Milk Hotel reference can get them into the pants of impressionable sixth formers everywhere. This band, and more specifically main songwriter Jeff Mangum, has a much more enduring legacy than awkward teenage sex.

Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island Lyrics
Neutral Milk Hotel - Song Against Sex Lyrics
And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from this hands
Neutral Milk Hotel - April 18th Lyrics
Croawl across toward your window.
I'm calling softly from the street.
Always a lonely widow
Half-awake and sleeping on my feet.
Neutral Milk Hotel - Naomi Lyrics
Your prettiness is seeping through
Out from the dress I took from you, so pretty
And my emptiness is swollen shut
Always a wretch, I have become so empty
Neutral Milk Hotel - Three Peaches Lyrics
So wake up, run your lips across your fingers till you find
Some scent of yourself that you can hold up high
To remind yourself that you didn't die
On a day that was so crappy, whole and happy, you're alive
Neutral Milk Hotel - Garden Head Leave Me Alone Lyrics
There are beads that wrap
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead
Neutral Milk Hotel - Avery Island April 1st Lyrics
(Instrumental)
Neutral Milk Hotel - Where You'll Find Me Now Lyrics
All I perceive is wasted and broken
Silvery streams, sacred when spoken
Slam into me and into the ditch of debris
And you smoke in the park, you sleep in the greenery
Neutral Milk Hotel - Marching Theme Lyrics
(instumental)
Neutral Milk Hotel - A Baby For Pree Lyrics
Blistering Pree, all smiling and swollen makes babies to breathe
With their hearts hanging open all over the sheets
As soft as beets in some brown dresser drawer
And with bees in her breath and the rest of her ringing
Neutral Milk Hotel - Someone Is Waiting Lyrics
Someone is waiting
To swallow all the halos out of you
As your face blows
Through my windows
Neutral Milk Hotel - You've Passed Lyrics
The lady is dying
She bends back like a wave
As her spirit is climbing
Through the hospital wall and away
