1) Spoon is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas. The band was formed in late 1993 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno. Current members also include: Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals) and Rob Pope (bass, backing vocals - replaced Joshua Zarbo in 2007).
After releasing their debut LP Telephono on Matador Records, the band signed with Elektra in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response the band released a two-song single titled The Agony of Laffitte (referring to Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte). Eventually they signed to Merge Records.
Spoon has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the same feat a year later. Gimme Fiction was released on May 10, 2005 and continued the trend of increasing popularity for the band.
Britt Daniel wrote much of the soundtrack to the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Four tracks by Spoon are also featured.
The band released their sixth studio album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga on July 10, 2007; those who purchased the first pressing also received a bonus disc titled Get Nice!.
Transference is their seventh studio album. It was released on January 18, 2010 in Europe, and on January 19 in North America, to moderately positive reviews.

Anything You Want
Spoon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there's anything you want
Come on back cause it's all still here
I'll be in the back room drinking my half of the beer
And if you and me is so right
Why's it the same thing every night

It's just a matter of time
It's almost measurable

Imagination ain't kind on us tonight

You're at your best when you got the guns turned a hundred
Eighty degrees
And finding out if it adds all up right
We go through all the same lines or sell out to appease
But go to sleep in a bed of lies
I made my own more than once or twice

And now time is my time time is my own
And I feel so alive yet feel so alone
'Cause you know you're the one and that that hasn't changed

Since you were nineteen and still in school waiting on a light
On the corner by sound exchange

Line by Line Meaning

If there's anything you want
If there's anything you need or desire

Come on back cause it's all still here
Return to me because everything remains the same

I'll be in the back room drinking my half of the beer
While you're looking for something, I'll be in the rear drinking

And if you and me is so right
If we're such a good match

Why's it the same thing every night
Why does every evening feel identical?

It's just a matter of time
It's only a question of when

It's almost measurable
It's almost quantifiable

Imagination ain't kind on us tonight
Tonight, our creativity isn't generous to us

You're at your best when you got the guns turned a hundred
You're in perfect form when you're completely committed

Eighty degrees
Almost entirely

And finding out if it adds all up right
Determining whether it's correct in its entirety
