| Talulah Gosh! – Bringing Up Baby Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think the "baby" that's being brought up in this song is Katharine Hepburn not the leopard like in the movie. This song contains personal details of Hepburn's life that doesn't relate to the movie or her character in the movie. Like the first two lines, "Sweetens her tea with jam" Katharine used to sweeten her tea with strawberry jam instead of sugar and "Takes five baths a day" Katharine claimed to take five baths a day to help her think. It also mentions her long term relationship with Spencer Tracy and how they complimented each other so well people started to think of them as one person,like Angela Landsbury for instance, "I began to think of them as one person, really. I suppose most people did." The band made a couple of factual errors. Cary Grant's character in Bringing Up Baby is not called "John", but David and Katharine Hepburn's character never called up David on the phone to ask him what day it is. |

| The Field Mice – Fabulous Friend Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is my favourite song by The Field Mice. I love this song! Every time I hear it I have to press repeat and listen to it again, before I go on to the next song. So I was quite upset to find the lyrics that were posted didn’t resemble what I heard at all. Here’s a more accurate interpretation of the lyrics: That hard, cruel, hostile tone There’s no place you’d want to fail If some where you were to fail Success at any cost If fade the same and fall If fade the same and fall But even there I did not think of Someone I should have thought of She was my fabulous friend I could but be impressed I could but be impressed I wish I’d been hers too What good does wishing do? What good does wishing do? I was born afraid I miss her to this day For me and only me My concern it was for me My concern it was for me How am I to accept? I could show such thoughtlessness I could show such thoughtlessness I can’t stop thinking of The person I did not think of I’m not brave I’m not special I’m not any of those things I’m not any of those things This guilt that I do feel I deserve to always feel Fully deserve to never not feel |

| Even As We Speak – Bizarre Love triangle (New Order cover) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| For some reason the band misinterpreted the lyric "I feel a shot right through the both of you". The original New Order lyric is "I feel a shot right through with a bolt of blue". It's quite understandable that they would get that wrong since the original lyric is quite strange. | |
| Emil – Copacii Infloriti Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| You put lyrics to the wrong Emil. This Emil is a British indie pop band from the 1980s. I should know. I added them to the database. | |
| The Brilliant Corners – Why Do You Have To Go Out With Him When You Could Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Why Do You Have To Go Out With Him When You Could Go Out With Me? is the name of the song in its entirety. It's a very catchy song about unrequited love. |

| Unrest – Cath Carroll Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is obviously about Mark's obsession with singer Cath Carroll formerly of Miaow and The Hit Parade. After this song was released Cath went on to release a couple of singles on Mark's label Teenbeat. Pretty cool. | |
| Belle & Sebastian – Chickfactor Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Holysocks is right this song is about the fanzine chickfactor. How do I know this? from the chickfactor interview with Stevie of Belle and Sebastian back issue #13. Plus these lyrics make it blindingly obvious: Pretty girl says, "Hi He meets the chickfactor interviewer for the first time What's the worst job you've had? What do you read? What's driving you mad?" All common interview questions. You're in my magazine Are you talking to me? Chickfactor Belle and Sebastian are featured in the magazine chickfactor. |

| The Waitresses – Square Pegs Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is one of my favourite theme songs! | |
| Even As We Speak – Falling Down The Stairs Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I couldn't quite make out all the words for this song. It could be because my copy of this song comes from an old Peel session that somebody taped and the sound quality isn't all that great. If somebody could help me out and fill in the remaining word or words and maybe fix the lyrics I probably messed up; it would be greatly appreciated. | |
| Black Tambourine – Throw Aggi Off The Bridge Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is about Pam's obsession with Stephen; The Pastels singer and guitarist. In Pam's mind the only thing standing between Stephen and her is Stephen's fellow band mate, Aggi, so she has to be thrown off the bridge in order for Pam's crush fantasy to be complete. | |
| Slow Club – When I go Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I couldn't believe it when I turned on the tv and heard these guys singing in the background of a ritz cracker commercial. I was like "I my god! it's Slow Club!" I was even more surprised than when I heard The Flatmates in the background of that Payless commercial. I didn't think they were that well known that they'd end up on a commercial. Anyways it's a great song that I love to listen to (Although "Sunday" is still my favourite). Good job Ritz. |

| The Manhattan Love Suicides – Head Over Heels Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I love this song! I can't believe no one's commented yet. Head Over Heels has got to be the best song of 2007. | |
| The Free Design – Bubbles Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I just want to edit the fourth line of the song. After listening to the song again it sounds more like "watching the tadpoles gluba gluba..." (I can't really tell if he's saying bubbles after that or not. It could be something else, he kind of mumbles a bit.) Also I couldn't really make out the name of the friend in the second verse. Someone once told me this song had a kind of double entendre, but I don't get it. I think the song is pretty straight forward and is about getting rid of your troubles by chewing bubblegum. |

| Tullycraft – Pedal Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I liked the remake that Gaze did of this song better than Tullycraft's- techno? what were they thinking? | |
