| Tiger Army – Cupid's Victim Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| i really like tiger army, i really like this song and i really like hellcat. but the video just embodies everything i hate about american punk. When they're all walking along in their best greaser psycho getup like some kind of gang!? its fucking pathetic all these bands creating images for themselves and then trying to live up to them. Maybe i'm being a bit harsh but i dont like that part of the video... | |
| Tiger Army – As The Cold Rain Falls Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
when i got the album i wasn't overly impressed by what i'd heard up to this song then i was just speechless (not that i was discussing it with anyone at the time), I couldnt believe the band who wrote "outlaw heart" could come up with a pile of horse-shit like this! Then a few days later i found i wanted to hear it again and was really annoyed to find i actually liked it!!! Its got quite an infectious chorus. I like it even though its so poppy and not any of the things i like tiger army for. |
|
| Tiger Army – Outlaw Heart Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
yeah its easily the best tiger army song ive heard. I wish they'd write this kind of stuff again, its a shame they've turned into AFI now! "whiskey and regret" -one of the best lines ever!!! I think he must have killed someone as the law are after him. Its quite hard to figure out exactly what happened but I like it like that. you still get that he loved a girl and can't be with her. he's a desperado on the run who will go down guns blazing, fuelled by love and regret. brilliant stuff. |
|
| Nekromantix – Haunted Cathouse Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
yeah i recognised some of them. ones you guys havn't mentioned: The Ghastly ones, The Headless Hearsemen, the mummys. Not psycobilly but spooky garage surf. i think thats the bands he was refering to. its one of their best choons too. wicked riffs, wicked chorus lyrics, the double speed bit at the end is great too. |
|
| The Queers – Rancid Motherfucker Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
its the queers being very synical and saying kids you buy into the "classic" punk image like rancid are idiots. unfortunatly i think rancid are better than the queers on every single level, including appearance, which isnt a crime to mention. |
|
| Rancid – I Wanna Riot Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
its not an anti-riot or a pro-riot song really. its more about confusion and the stae of mind the populus have to be in before a riot can start; that is people have to be very disorientated and abused with only rioting left to them. in riots shit gets fucked up and no-one really gets any one message across so what they're saying is that riots are just expressions of raw emoiton and often the people in those riots dont know why this energy is comming out of them, but mad shit happens like people getting "the beat down" etc and its chaotic. "oh, yeah, i wanna riot" but why? he doesnt know and neither do we, when a riot happens it's because it needs to happen and no-one is ever really sure why it started in the first place. oh and im sure "city of the dead" and infact "i wanna riot" are clash references. somehow rancid never get bored of them and neither do i... ans isnt this supposed to be a collaboration with Sublime? when was it recorded? |
|
| Rancid – Old Friend Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
ah this song is one of their more poetic ones, and one of their better ones from UNDOUBTEDLY one of, if not THE best of their albums. i think its great how he compares heatache to an old friend. its clever cos when you've got some heartache going on its painful but there's a small glimmer of hope because its pain over something good, if u get what i mean. anyway im posting here cos its appropriate to me right now :s god i feel like such an emo fucking net-nerd...ah fuck it! |
|
| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Red Right Hand Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think john andrew philot is more or less right except that his explanation is about as cryptic as the song. the man with the red right hand is a broad metaphor for something/someone which can make you feel better but not actually make you better. perhaps something which tricks your body or your mind into feeling more at ease, drugs for example or perhaps a fashion label. things you have been convinced to like by other people and those people (the ones with the red right hands) make "stacks of green paper" out of your addiction. i really hope thats true about this whole song being adlibbed but i doubt it. |
|
| Misfits – We Are 138 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Im sure the point of the song is personal, "138" means something different to everyone one who hears it. because its a random number on first inspection it doesnt mean anything specific and at the same time it can mean something very important to one person. I think it is about identity in that way. We are all 138, but 138 is what you make of it. i think all these theories are very interesting, especially the police code one. i'd like to ask though, has anyone ever considered it might be some racist/neo-nazi reference? the number 18 is often used by neo-nazis as AH (adolf hitler) are the first and eighth letters of the alphabet. If Glenn Danzig really did consider all these different themes; police codes, THX-1138, surpression and expression of individuality etc then i think he probably knew of those possible racist connotations. i love the misfits and this song but ive always been open to the fact that they might have been quite backwards politically. |
|
| Oasis – Live Forever Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
whatever they may say the song is about, for me it encapsulates very well the feeling of class divides that are always associated with Oasis, and how soon they would become rich like the upper classes. "Pods" i think had it right there. as for the beatles thing, well i see Oasis as a far superior version of the beatles; good songs, funny characters, firm conviction. but the beatles really weren't that good anyway. and these days oasis are a bit shit aswell. i think its quuite funny when you read/hear oasis' arrogance. just makes me love them more. |
|
| Rancid – Hooligans Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| actually i went and listened to it again and it sounds like tim is saying "bootboys" and lynval is saying "rudeboys" which makes sense. | |
| The Clash – Clampdown Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
rage against the machine did an absolutely terrible version of this song that i found on the net one time. yeah i wear blue for my clampdown job, im quitting soon though, it is true, you get treated badly working for big companies. oh and the strokes are shit alanna07. |
|
| The Clash – All the Young Punks (New Boots and Contracts) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
err hello? this song is about punk poseurs and it was on "give em enough rope" which i think was 1978. try listening to "the part-time punks" by television. oh and colabottle say something new! "I refuse to conform!" ??? c'mon if thats true then why dont you post something racist on here, that would be contraversial. |
|
| The Clash – Koka Kola Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
wow i didnt realize they went that in depth with it, i think alot of that is probably deliberate though. i imagine one of them just read a book on it or something. i can see why it would remindd you of american psycho though, the gleaming corridors and the way corperate success drives that character to murder becasue its so important to him. yeah allbout drugs though and at the same time consumer culture and branding being paralell to drug addiction, kind of highlighting the incredible irony of Coke orgionally actually containing such an addictive drug. |
|
| The Clash – Safe European Home Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
yeah it IS about when strummer and jones went to jamaica expecting it to be all chillin out smokin weed in the sun and they found that everyone wanted to rob them and didnt want them there. they were doing a radio show with mickey dread i think, or maybe that was later...anyway its definatly about their bad experiences in jamaica. |
|
| The Clash – Should I Stay or Should I Go Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
by the way everyone. i am absolutely POSOTIVE this song is a metaphore for the clash either going back to being a raw punk band or changing their style even further than they have. someone right at the top of this list said its a great transition from punk to post-punk and that about the closest it seems anyone has gotten. read the words (the english ones) and it all fits. they had already changed their music considerably from the initial punk movement and on the sandinista album before combat rock everyone wrote them off and this song is all about where they should go next "This indecision's bugging me". and yeah combat rock is good but its so disjointed, you cant wack it on and listen to the whole album, you have to be in the mood for a particular song or couple of songs. i hate it when albums are like that but most of the songs are still good. |
|
| The Clash – Bankrobber Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
ah some of the video was filmed on lewisham high street. and it looks even skankier than it does now. i think the idea of a bankrobber is pure clash imagery. they loved all that wild west stuff u know. its one of those crimes which is romantic and carried out by dashing rogues not murderous backstabbers. thats the idea of this song in a way. it encapsulates that feeling the clash give, where crimes against the suits and penpushers is justified but crimes against the human spirit are outlawed, when in reality its the other way around. |
|
| Rancid – Ben Zanotto Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| he mentions ben zanotto in roots radicals. | |
| Rancid – Hooligans Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i dont thihnk so, rudeboys were what kids who were into the 2nd wave ska in coventry and then the rest England called themselvs. this song is clerly (to me) a tribute to the specials and the genre they kicked off, and yeah i think the guest appearance kind-of proves that. not only that but if you speak/hear in english then its pretty clear he says rudeboys, not bootboys. hooligans and rudeboys are supposed to be opposites. like the hooligans who turned up to 2tone gigs and caused trouble. |
|
| Rancid – David Courtney Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| hahah, i heard the other day on BBC radio 1 that Lars Frederiksen is the co-godfather with Dave courtney of they're freiend's child. | |
| Rancid – Brad Logan Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think the start of this song is really good but apart from that the song isnt that great. i do like it though, it was the first rancid song i heard, on the south park soundtrack but i didnt even realizeit was them or even like them or know who they were till a couple of years later. ive never noticed that clash reference before though, even though the clash and rancid are 2 of my favourite bands. and its kind of annoying that rancid have so many good tracks that only appear on compilations, maybe one day they'l release a "b-sides and rare material" album like so many other bands do these days. except rancid's will be good. anyway im off to pose in front of the mirror. |
|
| NOFX – The Moron Brothers Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| yeah that makes more sense, i was sure racid, greenday and songwriters nofx were all friends. | |
| Rancid – Fall Back Down Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think this is the worst song from indestructible. i do think rancid have sold out because they have tried to make a really radio friendly commercial album for whatever reasons and it doesnt befit them. that fact is actually quite reassurring- that rancid couldnt be a chart pop band even if they wanted to, they're music will never be what the Warner Bros CEOs will want. I dont blame them anyway, they got enough good albums and indestructible on the whole isnt too bad. oh and btw maybe mem0ries it isnt tim doing the rapping on the album. |
|
| Rancid – Otherside Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| yeah this is the best song on the album. its funny how lars had a family member die and tim had his wife leave him but brody is the ssue of most of the album, not lars' brother Robert. | |
| Rancid – Red Hot Moon Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
yeah i like this song, i dont really think rob aston had to be in it though, although i like his line: "Dipped out in the city Where the sun burns slow" yeah thats nice. |
|
| Rancid – The Ballad Of Jimmy And Johnny Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think the point of this song, j0k3r 31, is that stupid labels like "boot boys" and "trad skins" only split people apart and while it might be fun to create an identity for yourself like that it shouldnt get in the way of a friendship, fuck i've never heard of either of those things. They "think" the other is a mod or a punk. when he says "tell me what your seein'" its because they are seeing each other differently to the way he is, and he doesnt like the way its going "what the uck were they thinking". still i dont get why he says "Outside similarities but no they don't feel the same" because that suggests that they look the same but are different inside, which seems like the opposite of the rest of the song. |
|
| Rancid – Tropical London Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i dont think brody is a good idol to have. and i think indestructible is alright but i really wish tim armstrong had gotten really angry about it rather than felt so sorry for himself, then he would have written some much better songs. | |
| Rancid – Dead Bodies Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| the chorus of this is so discharge. i love it. | |
| Rancid – David Courtney Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| its about dave courtney, the london gangster, and they said on the sleeve of indestructible that they met him. | |
| Rancid – The Wars End Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i was sure it was father before but...whatever. billy bragg is the man. i never really thought before that "war" isnt literal, just a metaphore for the escalating tension between sammy and his parents. this whole album is so poetic but in a really hard, punk way. |
|
| Rancid – Lock, Step & Gone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
there are people who would do that anywhere, in any part of any city, in any small town in the countryside of any place. just because you dont see things happening everyday doesnt mean they dont happen. anyone can get banged up or stabbed or shot anywhere, it aint something to be proud of, maybe something to write a song about. anyway i dont think the bay area/oakland whatever sounds all that nuts. then again i dont think London is very hardcore either. |
|
| U2 – Vertigo Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think absolut is right, its the steve lillywhite production. he DEFINATLY doesnt say 11 12 13. i really like the spannish backing vocals in the chorus, sounds so good. btw "newyearsday" the vines are so terrible its untrue. |
|
| U2 – Vertigo Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
some ppl need to 'low the long explanations here... bono said on CD:uk that the reason its the first single from the album is partly the "hello hello" bit. |
|
| The Pogues – The Old Main Drag Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
yeah that one seemed obvious. does anyone know how much (if any) of this is actually true to shane mcgowan comming to london, because he was definatly very young and very poor when he did. |
|
| The Pogues – The Gentleman Soldier Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
this song is so funny, i love the way the two characters talk and converse through the song, its just such a funny way to address quite a sad tale. their voices sound so over the top and the "rap a tap tap" bit in sync with the drums is good. |
|
| The Pogues – And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
does anyone know where the phrase "waltzing matilda" comes from, that would be interesting to know. btw. rum sodomy & the lash is a great album, is a shame that wildcats of killkenny has no lyrics because i'd love to tell everyone how great that one is. |
|
| Metallica – Hit the Lights Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| this is a really good song. metallica are a great band and they have recorded some great and some awful stuff. they're lyrics, however, are consistantly shite. | |
| Metallica – Motorbreath Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| yeah, metallica started out just playing motorhead covers. the title is probably a homage. good song from prebably their best album. | |
| Metallica – 53rd & 3rd (The Ramones cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| nah i have to say this version of 53rd & 3rd is just crap. the tribute album that it comes from does have some damn good tracks on it though. | |
| Green Day – American Idiot Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
im not sure these lyrics are 100% accurate but its pretty much the jist of it. i agree with "Abeer" its obvious of the meaning and its a good song. i think this song is a good return to form for greenday and i think this album is going to be really good. i can imagine though based on this single that the lyrics arent going to be the most intellegent and/or thought provoking as their really meant to speak to people who might have no-idea what to think without being told, if you know what i mean. still i think Greenday succeed there where NOFX fail. |
|
| Nekromantix – Nekronomicon Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
the necronomicon is a book cataloguing facts and fiction about the dead. written centuries ago, none survive for the general public to see except one translated by HP lovecraft, and that is fake. word is the vatican have one and there is a bunker in germany where the nazis had one, bound in the flesh of concentration camp victims, gruesome. i dont think the nekromantix know what their on about though. |
|
| Rancid – Maxwell Murder Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| hey during the solo you can hear one of them saying "oh ma...you muther fucker" is it max or matt? both would make sense. | |
| Black Flag – Rise Above Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
only 2 messages on one of the defining 80s US harcore songs???? well not much to say apart from (and i quote) : "This song epitomizes the "hardcore punk anthem"." |
|
| AFI – File 13 Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| poisin pale why do you love AFI and hate the michael graves misfits??? they are like a better afi. your just so damn trendy. | |
| Sex Pistols – Bodies Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i dont know any band who dare shout something about abortion- pro or anti, its such a touchy issue for everyone. i always thought it was pro choice but reading it i thought it was anti, now reading these posts its clear its neither just "thought provoking" which i like. its a really chilling and frieghtining song, the imagery is so horrible. i would never dare to sing those words, not for fear of others but just because its an issue thats important to me. oh yeah please dont diss sid viscous in that way, the guys dead. and if he wasnt and knew you said that he'd probably try and kill you, he DID make them look punk and yes johnny rotten did pretty much sculpt sid into the punk he was but only because sid was insane anyway and johnny knew he'd do anything for any reason. anyway the clash were much better. |
|
| Slayer – SS-3 Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| ah why do slayer have to ruin their excellent metal credentials by being such nazis? | |
| NOFX – Joe Is The Best Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| its true man, joe is the best! | |
| NOFX – Corozon De Oro Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| yeah its like when you hear live albums, different takes on songs you know, its good. | |
| NOFX – Germ Free Adolescents (X-Ray Spex cover) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| nofx to loads of covers though. | |
| Rancid – Leicester Square Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| just an idiot who likes to fight and learnt how to on the street. | |
