I read in an interview that this song is about animal testing or something along those lines.

Harvey Danger – Cream and Bastards Rise Lyrics 15 years ago
The phrase "only cream and bastards rise" is from the 1966 movie "Harper."

"The bottom is loaded with nice people, Albert. Only cream and bastards rise."

Stan Ridgway – Wild Bill Donovan Lyrics 15 years ago
It's about William "Wild Bill" Joseph Donovan. The "company" = the CIA, and the "O.S.S." = Office of Strategic Services.

Roxy Music – 2HB Lyrics 16 years ago
Bryan Ferry wore an outfit similar to the one Humphrey Bogart wore in Casablanca to many of his [Ferry's] live performances during the early-to-mid-seventies, as well as on the cover of his second solo album, "Another Time, Another Place". I didn't notice this until I realized that this song was about Casablanca and Humphrey Bogart.

Additionally, the band, "The Madness" have a song on their 1988 self-titled album titled, "2 B.F.", which seems to be about, or dedicated to, Bryan Ferry.

Madness – 4 B.F. Lyrics 16 years ago
I believe this song is about Bryan Ferry, or, at least, dedicated to him (the title is a reference to a Roxy Music song, "2HB" -- "to Humphrey Bogart", in this case, "4 B.F." would be "for Bryan Ferry").

Berlin – The Metro Lyrics 16 years ago
System of a Down sucks. That's pretty much all that needs to be said regarding that matter. I hate it when shitty bands cover good songs, and I hate the fans that embrace the shitty bands.

spunheart: That bullshit theory of yours is ridiculously sexist. Too bad for you your theory is also wrong.

Bad Religion – We're Only Gonna Die Lyrics 16 years ago
ilgattopunx: Sublime's version doesn't matter because, A. this isn't for Sublime's version, and B. they didn't write the song.

White Town – Your Woman Lyrics 16 years ago
To the ignorant fool that said the song is a cover: it's not. White Town only sampled the trumpet. The song it's sampled from, "My Woman," is about a man in love with a woman that treats him like terribly [She's lying when she says I love you/ I know it, but what am I to do/ She makes me cry, but I don't care for I love her].

morethanadream: Slash sucks, and people like you are what makes the internet such a goddamn cesspool.

The Aquabats – Ska Robot Army Lyrics 16 years ago
Sounds like a parody of Madness -- the way the vocals are sung in certain parts.

New Order – Blue Monday Lyrics 17 years ago
New Order has denied, if I recall correctly, that the song is about Ian Curtis.

NOFX – Don't Call Me White Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is just about not wanting to be labeled.
