Any minute you will feel
The chemistry
Vibrations in the brain
Can't ever be explained

Slip away and out of sigh
Feel the magnet of a night
The circus lights you see
Is where you have to be

If I've seen it all before
Why's this bus taking me back again
If I don't need anymore
Why's this bus taking me back again

Feel the weight of letting go
Feel more lightness than you've ever known
You can't see when light`s so strong
You can't see when light is gone

    I believe it's about LSD. The "bus taking me back again" is a reference to an acid flashback.

    What a fantastic tune - simply puts me straight back in Uni in 1993. In a bad mood this song will pick up up in the first 5 seconds. Great great great underrated band!

    it certainly is.

    i dont think the bus refers to flashbacks though - that happens much later ;-) is more like a self-referential circumpoint in a trip where your brain keeps going round in circles - like when you cant sleep during teh night, , , why am i awake at 6.30am, , , i noes, lets play twisterella,,,

    I definitely think it's about an acid trip too.

    It's about their trips from OX4 to London on the bus and reminiscing about good times there. Acid trips might have been part of those bus trips!

    I think this is about acid too. But then i thought OX4 had a deeper meaning to it than it actually does. :-/

    It appears i have been singing along incorrectly all this time. Even though the lyrics are in the cassette iirc.

    I thought it was....(changes in CAPITALS)

    Slip away and out of sighT Feel the MAGIC of THE night The circus lights you see Is WAITING THERE FOR ME

    Seems i was mistaken.

    My lyrics are deffo better though.

    The music and lyrics of Twisterella are ineffable. For those thinking it's about LSD either forget or don't know this song was released at a peak time of raves and ecstasy. Take a ride with Ride and feel the magic of the night ...

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
