| Big Country – Eiledon Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| I read in a Big Country website article from the early noughties that the song may have been inspired by a poem. but I can no longer remember the poet. Possibly Walt Whitman? I wonder. Try archive.org to research this. Or writing to Bruce Watson. I'll ask him next time I meet him. | |
| The Clash – Bankrobber Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| Is it rocking chair or raconteur? Yes I know everywhere on the internet it says rocking chair but the internet has been known to get lyrics wrong before. I had always thought it was raconteur. Anyone have the official lyrics from an album sleeve? | |
| Big Country – The Crossing Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
I am trying to decipher this myself. Here are bits of what I can gather so far: Scratches on walls in a room - suggest being inside a prison Your islands are conquered and you are returned To the throne - I'm stating the obvious here, but this points to a defeated King who had subsequently ben imprisoned, we have examples of this from our (UK) history. There are a few imprisoned monarchs that this could refer to. Martyrs take penance and fill up the mattress With stones Pull straws with holy men Could these lines be biblical references? Build up great railways that run through the horns of the moon Hold up a city with cast-iron museum walls Explain your machines to the boys feed them with tools Bring out the skill in your skin polish your hair -Reference to industrial age in Britain, perhaps? |

| Morrissey – Bengali In Platforms Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The line "It's hard enough when you belong here" forever repeated, suggests Bengali's DON'T belong here. National boundaries are nothing more than man made political divisions. I was placed on this Earth by God and consider myself (a Bengali), a citizen of the Planet Earth. Bot of any country. No man has any right to tell me where I can and cannot belog. And where I can and cannot walk freely. Note: I refer to myself, above, as a Bengali rather than a Bangladeshi, thus identifying myself to my culture and people rather than to the country, Bangladesh -whose ultimate origins lie in an arbitrary British Division of a region of natural distinction. |
