The Stone Roses – I Wanna Be Adored Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Reminds of Bill Hicks' "suck Satan's cock" routine. |
The Jam – Down In The Tube Station At Midnight Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Sad story, great storytelling. |
The Jam – The Place I Love Lyrics | 16 years ago |
I think the safe place is a literal location, and the "in the back of my mind" is how he reflects on it, like SJ said. |
The Jam – Fly Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Seems like a normal love song to me. Pretty desperate one though. |
The Jam – Billy Hunt Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Reminds me of Caddyshack? |

Attacking the social system that degrades life. |

Isn't this criticizing the white collar workers, not the blue? |

Living for fame and then losing it all. |

About phone sex maybe? |
XTC – Sacrificial Bonfire Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Represents the cycling of life, I think. Ends the song-cycle nicely. |
XTC – The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul Lyrics | 16 years ago |
On the surface, it's a metaphor for depressed, gloomy introspection. |
The Kinks – Starstruck Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Not sure who the narrator is, but it's straightforward. |
The Kinks – Animal Farm Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Right on airforbes. The writer, Ray Davies, answers a question about the song by stating, "I like plain Janes" (http://kinks.it.rit.edu/misc/articles/rs69.html). |
The Kinks – Phenomenal Cat Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Singer Ray Davies: "Phenomenal Cat went to Singapore and Hong Kong and decided it was just was well to get fat. I didn't, he did. It was completely his own decision. And he came back and at himself to eternity" (http://kinks.it.rit.edu/misc/articles/rs69.html). Not sure if that clarifies anything. Maybe it's about deciding to be lazy and fat to be happy, but it seems to portray hedonism negatively, too. |
The Kinks – Johnny Thunder Lyrics | 16 years ago |
From an interview with Ray Davies (singer): "Johnny Thunder lives on water, he don't eat food, he feeds on lightening (laughter). Frankenstein. It's not a cowboy song" (http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/VOLUME04/MIRROR/Ray_Davies_Rolling_Stone.html). I thought it was just about a generic wanderer, but I guess not. |

Funny shit |
Nas – It Ain't Hard To Tell Lyrics | 16 years ago |
@TheChosenOne According to Urban Dictionary "pill" is slang for a basketball. |

True meaning of "ruthless." |

lol |
OutKast – Ms. Jackson Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Love Andre's verse and the sound effects they slip behind it. |
The Flaming Lips – Moth in the Incubator Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Most of the lyrics seem to be knocking evangelical Christianity as contrived and nonsensical. I could definitely be wrong though. |
The Flaming Lips – She Don't Use Jelly Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Pure nonsense I suppose. |
The Flaming Lips – Pilot Can at the Queer of God Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Abrasive and aggressive beat, I really like this song. |
The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Fire Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Frank Zappa – Flower Punk Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Funny as hell. |
Frank Zappa – Are You Hung Up Lyrics | 16 years ago |
lol, good description k44. The "outta sight" part's funny to me now. |
Faith No More – Jizzlobber Lyrics | 16 years ago |
I see it as being about wanking too. "Bars in the womb" could refer to how the speaker can't get any, and "spilt milk" could be a euphemism for jizzlobbing. |
Faith No More – Crack Hitler Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Speaking of Primus, the vocal effect used on the verses sounds almost exactly like Claypool's on "Tommy the Cat." |

MxPx – New York To Nowhere Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Touring sounds fun. |
MxPx – My Mom Still Cleans My Room Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Kind of random lyrics but still pretty deep (second stanza in particular for me) and the title is funny. |
Mos Def – Thieves in the Night Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Hypnotic beat, hard-hitting words. |
Mos Def – Respiration Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Really like Mos's verse. The girl's lisp is kind of irritating. |
Fatboy Slim – You're Not From Brighton Lyrics | 16 years ago |
It sounds like "Funk is the U-UK [United Kingdom]" instead of "Funk as we used to play" to me. Who knows. |
