| Los Campesinos! – Romance Is Boring Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Unless I'm very much mistaken 'bake phallic cake' is used as a nod to a Beautiful South lyric. I've read that Gareth Campesinos is a big fan of Paul Heaton (Beautiful South singer and lyricist). It is almost certainly a euphemism for sex. |

| Faithless – Bring My Family Back Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song describes the break up of a family from three different perspectives. Firstly, from the point of view of a child whose father has left home: ''And I can't escape the feelin', maybe I'm to blame". Then from the point of view of the absent father: "Now I'm lonely, I wonder what my son's doing today " and finally, and in my opinion, brilliantly, from the point of view of the house -here we must assume that the family have had to move out: "There was a time when my walls were decorated. And under my roof children were educated ....I'm freaking', and seekin' to be more than just a house of crack, somebody bring my family back". When I first heard this song I was stunned by that last verse. |
