All right, I have sheet music which looks like this, more or less:
I have no clue what this means. Please help. Neither of my parents had any idea what it meant, and I can't find any answers on the interweb. The part that this is supposed to be transcribing, by the way, is The Last Polka, by Ben Folds Five. I dunno if I'm allowed to attach clips of songs, or whatever, but if you have to hear it or something, I have an eight second clip of the section. Help is appreciated.
I just wanna get out,
Stuck inside of this.
Waiting for something else,
'kay. The clip has more than this sheet music does, but I didn't feel like copying the five or six bars of this that would include the whole eight seconds. It was being crazy slow when I tried to attach it, so I just uploaded it to Rapidshare.

Thank you for answering, everybody (and alexfish).
On a guitar, when you are playing and you don't lift your finger off the string to switch to a new note. It's called a slide, you slide down. Basically you switch notes, without stopping inbetween.

Tempt the fates, beware the smile It hides all the teeth, my dear, What's behind them...
So glad you could stay Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man There's blood on the blade Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue Shadows creep & dance the walls He's creeping too..
Aww, it's been so long since I've heard the term "slur".
I miss playing an instrument.

yes yes that's it. it hurts your fingers on piano if you don't do it right, but it sounds fucking awesome when you do a whole bunch of them in succession.
