There's Always Room On The Broom
Liars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's how we choose to wrap it up.
Time and grant approved,
Oh, what a move.
Took a sip
The compass over rock and cliff.
Dead for years
On devil's tears.
They disappear
Fly away
Spider web,
From my leg to my head.
Dragon's egg,
In the cupboard.
Saw the light,
In the quicksand.
Dark is cryin',
For the world.
Fly from peace.
(Oh)
I said you're gonna get it in a second
On my way from my pony
All the girls so you win it.
You'll never stop the world,
And you make it with a cow,
And they wanna understand it so they kill it.
In summer won't we want to be in school with everyone?
So we huddle all together,
'Till we get more damage done,
(Oh)
I say you're gonna get it in a second
On my way come and put it on the girls
And you win it
You never stop the word
Try to fake it with a cow
And they wanna understand it so they kill it.
In summer won't we want to be in school with everyone?
So now we're all together,
'Till we get more damage done.
The song "There's Always Room On The Broom" by Liars is a psychedelic and dreamy anthem that beautifully blends poetic lyrics with ambient sounds. The track begins with the line "Lay the cross. That's how we choose to wrap it up," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for how we end things in life. We wrap them up with a cross, symbolically placing them in the ground or putting them to rest. The following lines "Time and grant approved, Oh, what a move" could suggest that there has been some approval or permission given to the act of wrapping things up.
The second verse brings in new images, like "Spider web, from my leg to my head. Dragon's egg, in the cupboard. Saw the light, in the quicksand. Dark is cryin', for the world." These lines evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue, almost as if the singer is exploring a fantastic and mystical world. The final lines "Fly from peace" further emphasize this idea of escape or flight.
In the chorus, the repeated lines "I say you're gonna get it in a second. On my way come and put it on the girls. And you win it. You never stop the word. Try to fake it with a cow. And they wanna understand it so they kill it. In summer won't we want to be in school with everyone? So now we're all together, 'Till we get more damage done" are cryptic, but seem to involve some form of challenge or competition. The lines "Try to fake it with a cow" is particularly intriguing and suggests the idea of deception or trickery.

sandwich yourself
May the 1st
Made sandwiches and wrapped them up
Time to grab a broom
Oh, what a moon
Took a sip
Then found ourselves on Brocken Cliff
Dance for years
On Devil's tears
They disappear
I alone
Spider web from my leg to my head
Dragon's egg in the cavern
Samurai, in the book's end
Donkey's cry for the water
I say you're gonna get it in a second on my word
Gonna put it on a dog and you'll win it
You'll learn it from the wolves and he'll make it with a cat
And they'll wanna understand so they kill it
In summer, won't we wanna
Be in school with everyone?
Somehow we're ordinary
Until we get more damage done
I say you're gonna get it in a second on my word
Gonna put it on a dog and you'll win it
You'll learn it from the wolves and he'll make it with a cat
And they'll wanna understand so they kill it
In summer, won't we wanna
Be in school with everyone?
Somehow we're ordinary
Until we get more damage done
