| Roxy Music – More Than This Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i enjoyed your comments HAwkgold...this is one of those rare songs where the instrumentation works PERFECTLY with the lyricism to truly creat catharsis. the gauzy synths at the beginning, the reverb on each drum, the clean and compressed guitar tones...all these things are aesthetic benefits to the amazing lyrics...a gem. | |
| Roxy Music – In Every Dream Home a Heartache Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| in regard to the above comments: i think this song is actually about having sex with an inflatable sex doll. don't ask how i got that interpretaion.... | |
| Paul Simon – Crazy Love, Vol. II Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"Somebody could walk into this room And say your life is on fire It's all over the evening news All about the fire in your life On the evening news" --lyricism that subtle and powerful deserves something larger...this song is incredible. absolutely stellar. |

| Owen – Never Meant Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| this song loses its potency sans drums and electric guitar intertwining hypnotically | |
| Tom Waits – Singapore Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| what imagery...i love the eery feel of this tune, sounds like gothic vaudelville. tom is king. | |
| Soul Coughing – Rolling Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
its about X...doughty the perenial raver...its about rolling on any drug-induced wave... who knows what its about... it could be about a cue ball for all i know, or a mantra for a friendly game of marbles... |

| Soul Coughing – $300 Lyrics | 21 years ago |

doughty said that this song was about addiction: that this song was basically him "pleading with God to let me [m doughty] do drugs..." the looped clip is chris rock, and i think the joke appeared back-masked somehow on his CD, that is what accounts for the slurred speech. what a scary, burning, bubbling, crushing, sad and vitriolic song...a gem |

| Tom Waits – Pony Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| this song speaks beyond your capacity to understand, luffster, quite simply. you can't see the forest for the trees..in fact, you've never even been in the woods alone. | |

| Tom Waits – Hold On Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| perhaps the most beautiful song i have ever heard (if it isn't "take it with me" off the same album)..such nostalgia, growing up in a dogmatic small town--"if you live it up you won't live it down"...absolutely amazing. | |
| Billy Bragg – A New England Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
just a transcription correction: "all the girls i loved in school are already pushing prams..." "pram" is a british term for baby-carriage. cheers. |

| R.E.M. – Nightswimming Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i miss you all so damn much | |
| Peter Gabriel – Come Talk To Me Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| when the pipes come in on this song (the 'secret world' version), my hair stands on end. what an amazing piece of music. i am not going to analyze this--let it be known that it is moving. | |
| INXS – Soul Mistake Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
she said: this was a lesson in love she siad: this was a love to end all loves... deconstructively, there is ambiguity. these lyrics could go either way. all i know is that this song can be very painful to listen to. |

| David Bowie – Ashes to Ashes Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| one flash of light, but no smoking pistol...stuck with a valuable friend...the drug-critic camp could have a definite heyday...i enjoy the interpretations of roger and rainbow, and must say that i agree...this song is cynical, and it almost feels like an attempt to sort out the ardent fans from the superficial admirers who enjoyed "that one david Bow-ie (pronounced with abhorrent Avril Lavigne inflection) song about space and stuff.." whatever the case, we can understand that such a song may have a multiplicity of interpretations...thats ok. | |
| Pavement – Spit On A Stranger Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| certain emotions lead to reckless abandon...as long as that one person is on your side, you just don't give a damn...go ahead, spit on a stranger...not even a black eye or fractured collar bone could dampen your spirits. | |
