Patrick Wolf – The Childcatcher Lyrics | 14 years ago |
More evidence for it being based on a real relationship: "His poor parents were still very concerned about him. Especially because after he left Bedales [at 16], he started dating a 39-year-old man." That's from an interview with The Observer from a few months ago, link here http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/apr/19/patrick-wolf-interview I think this is a brilliant song, and I think it shows his talent as a songwriter that he can pull of such a difficult subject. |
White Lies – To Lose My Life Lyrics | 15 years ago |
I just looked up the lyrics on Myspace and they're all good apart from "he said my heart is faithful to mines regret (?)" is "He said 'my heart is fate' well mine's regret" and (this is really minor) it's "our dead love" not "a dead love" Love this song so much! It really captures the way you can't imagine ever letting someone go and the way even the idea of that terrifies you. |

David Bowie – John, I'm Only Dancing Lyrics | 17 years ago |
"if it makes your tiny little homophobic minds any less horrified, then so be it." this is the kind of thing i hate on the internet. someone has a different opinion so you insult them. |
David Bowie – Queen Bitch Lyrics | 17 years ago |
As regards the Killers thing, my dad says they copied the line "And I'm phoning a cab/'cause my stomach feels small" with the line "Now they're going to bed/and my stomach is sick" but it's quite subtle. Quite similar, but not enough to say they ripped it off. Musicians do that kind of stuff all the time. |
