BoySetsFire – Falling Out Theme Lyrics 19 years ago
To me, it seems as though the religious metaphors are a clever device used to describe the strong physical attraction that keeps bringing them back together, though they know it is never going to work out in the end. It's like the relationship described in the Cure song "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea".

I love the part that is inspired by Jesus Christ Superstar:

I believe you can make me walk
I believe all you do is talk
See my hands a mass of blood
From scraping at your golden gates

The lyrics from "The Temple" are:

See my eyes, I can hardly see.
See me stand, I can hardly walk.
I believe you can make me whole.
See my tongue, I can hardly talk.
See my skin, I'm a mass of blood.
See my legs, I can hardly stand.
I believe you can make me well.
See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man.
Will you touch, will you mend me Christ?
Won't you touch, will you heal me Christ?
Will you kiss, you can cure me Christ?
Won't you kiss, won't you pay me Christ?

Go find the cover of "The Temple" from the Afghan Whigs album "Congregation" (1992)! That's the only reason I recognized where that part came from, and decided to come here to figure what the song meant. :o)

Bloodhound Gang – Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo Lyrics 20 years ago
I love the video for this song... so Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo India November Golf Hilarious?!

I haven't seen anyone mention what the guy at the beginning of the video says, "Fish don't fry in the kitchen". I had to Google it, turns out it's a lyric from the Jefferson's theme song:

Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin'
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby
There ain't nothin wrong with that.

Well we're moving on up...

Damien is singing about violence in the White Center community of Seattle.

The line in the first verse is not "white lie". it's "wild night".

Metric – Poster of a Girl Lyrics 20 years ago
Here's the french bit:

Incapable de rester toute seule
Je deteste dormir sans une présence
Les surprises semblent alléger ma solitude
Alors je ramène quelqu'un dans mon lit
Afin de découvrir comment je me sens
Comme un bébé
Portrait d'une femme
Affiche d'une fille

Me satisfaire
Eviter les novices
Ceux qui cherchent à me faire taire
Jusqu'à ce que je rentre avec l'un d'eux
Car je connais la sensation
De chercher le fil d'or
Et de ne jamais le trouver
(Coming in your pants)
Qui ne pense qu'à coucher avec une
fille d'affiche

Je sais que tu n'aimes pas ta réalité
Tu sais que je n'aime pas ta réalité
Tu sais que je n'aime pas ma réalité
Personne ne sait ce que c'est

On ne peut pas fabriquer la vérité

Louis XIV – Finding Out True Love Is Blind Lyrics 20 years ago
This band is great. I saw them open for the Futureheads and Hot Hot Heat. I get a serious "Rocky Horror" vibe from a lot of their new songs. I can almost picture Tim Curry singing this with a maniacal smile spread across his face... and of course the backup singer would have to be Susan Sarandon.
