Joan Jett – Love Is Pain Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
This song means we're masochists. Even though we have a tough time with love, even if we'd kick our partner in the face if we could, we wouldn't leave them, because we need love even if it brings us pain, so we're not afraid to admit it. |

Hey peeps, stop saying this is the "real" version of the song! Because it's originally by The Arrows. But this Joan Jett version is really cool! |

Placebo – Dark Globe Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
This song was wrote by Syd Barret after he was thrown out of Pink Floyd... I personally think it's about how bad he felt because of that, hence the "Wouldn't you miss me?" bit. Anyway this cover ain't that bad, but I think Barret is way too unique to be covered by anyone. At least this cover is better than REM's. |

Syd Barrett – Love You Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
"ice-cream 'scuse me,
I've seen you looking good the other evening"
that made me laugh, wouldn't it be:
"I scream 'scuse me"?
As for the meaning, I reckon this is a simple love song. |

The Beatles – Yellow Submarine Lyrics

"Submarino" is spanish for submarine. And in spanish, "to do a submarine" means smoke pot in a closed place. So I always thought of it like that. |

Hahaha! This song always makes me laugh. Part-time punks, heh. There's always been that kind of people, most commonly known as "posers" nowadays. This song reflects it so well. |

Hey, csa09, I thought the same. I am a big Velvet Underground fan, but apart from that line I don't find any other reference to the band. Hmm. |

The Verve – The Drugs Don't Work Lyrics

I am not sure whether this song is about him trying to get over his dead father by the use of drugs, or about how the drug meds didn't work to help his father survive. |

Yes, it certainly is a cover, but I'm ashamed to say I do not remember who the original song is by. But anyhow, god bless Tiny Tim, such a funny song and way of singing it! |

Oh, such a feel-good song! I first heard it on the Full Monthy film. And as for the meaning, well it's pretty obvious- this man who was lonely not long ago, now has a sexy sex partner and cannot believe his luck. |

I guess no one has commented because they do not know what the song means. Me neither, actually. I guess about a few buggers who won't leave him alone. |

I reckon this song is about not being able to carry on with life and needing someone to help you to stop being "paralysed" as in a passive attitude towards life. |

Ride – In a Different Place Lyrics

I mean, it perfectly describes a feeling of euphoria. By the way , I think the line "And we're smiling, when we're waking" would be walking instead of waking. |

Does make sense that it can be about drugs, but hey, I'm not too sure, do all rock artists have to write about drugs all the time ? |
