| Planes Mistaken for Stars – To Spit a Sparrow Lyrics

While I don't usually give a damn for lyrics, Planes always manage to convey honesty and an almost too hideous to fathom portrait of getting by with their lyrics, even with them being masked by endless poetic metaphors (not a bad thing). So sad these guys broke up, but check out Git Some (Chuck and maybe Neil's hardcore band) and Gared's new solo thing Hawks & Doves. |

| Hot Rod Circuit – Irish Car Bomb Lyrics
| 23 years ago

You guys are not thinking about this enough. For one, none of you has regarded the title, "Irish Car Bomb"... To me, this brings to mine the Catholic/Protestant dispute that's been going on in Ireland. Maybe this is a song about a young guy, throwing it all away, in one day by maybe joining the Irish Republican Army, or committing and act of violence. The cancer, breathing in, exhaling deal can mean many things... Maybe he is taking a puff on a cigarette, with all of this stress on his mind, and he is telling the cigarette "you taste like cancer". But, it could be a metaphor for death. Maybe he knows he is going to die that day, and he is saying it tastes like cancer, which could be another name for death. |
