| Sade – Like A Tattoo Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
Demystified! This what Sade said March, 4 1993 issue of the San Diego Union-Tribune;
""Like a Tattoo" was a song I wanted to write for a long time. I was in an Irish bar in New York years ago, and this man came and sat next to me and started telling me things about himself that I didn't particularly want to know. He had been in Vietnam. It's my translation of what he was saying to me." |

| The Streets – It Was Supposed To Be So Easy Lyrics
| 20 years ago

Some lyrics are wrong;
- "a faster decline" instead of "fasted the climb"
- "but choffed it wouldn't be late" instead of "but trust it wouldn't be late"
-"Today I have achieved absolutely nought" (but he pronounces it 'nowt')
Yeah. Funny this is. |

The meaning of the song is pretty obvious. She has the best voice ever. And any song with a mermaid in the filmclip's got to be good.. |

I don't think it's all about sex!! Maybe on a deeply subconscious level it may be about sex. But to me it sounds more about novelty and the death of excitement in a new relationship. Will it last? Who cares? Is he as nice as it seems? It's abvious she loves surprises. |

It sounds very sensual. In Portuguese, she's saying she can feel his hot kiss on her mouth. This song reminds me of sex. I love it! |

WHATEVER! Are we arguing about the definition of 'ethnic'? You're white and your first language is English. You don't get it! I'm not saying ethnics or first-generation Western World kids have it bad, but you just don't get it. I know this, and I know about how it was fashionable to be blonde and now it's fashionable to be ethnic, 'cos most people do it. It's about exploitation and shit. I know 'cos I used to do it too, I learnt it in Canada! |

Look INSIDE the box, yeh mate, I lived in Canada for a while, so yeh I do know. I'm a Spanish-Filo ethnic born and raised in Australia. But hey, if you think people use their ethnicity as a novelty, well, we do, haha! Whatever.
Anyway the point I was tryin' to make was the silent pressure she feels from lack of empathy from white-washed North American media, if you're white and you're first language is English, you really won't understand. There's a whole history to it and EVERYDAY LIFE you have to experience.
Yeah Trillium, it does have a good beat, and Nelly has this mad thing on melody. |

Portugese is ethnic, Nitts, ya gronk! Even if she was born in Canada. Have you been to Canada? It claims to be multicultural but it's so evidently white-washed and conformist, and that's North America for you.. |

i reckon this song's supposed to be ironic, she's saying that she wants him and can't have him so she's being stubborn and is saying that she's glad he rejected her 'cos she'll just end up making him cry anyway, and this song is a list of excuses. i thought she was just tryin' to be funny!! she must like the -reject before being rejected idea- a lot of people do! mad song but, i love it.. |

This song is so bloody romantic, who doesn't fantasise about never having to see someone you had a relationship with? I don't mean that in a bitter way, this song's about closure and acceptance, everyone wants that |

He's regretting being so immatureand probably wrote about it 'cos the guilt was eating him up, I love the beginning of the song, where he describes a funeral and then he changes the subject and moves onto how he's feelin' bad about hurting some chick's feelings, like he doesn't give a s**t! Yeh, I love this track!!!! |

Why is it called "Vancouver"? Is it about some chick he had relations with in Vancouver? It's like he's sayin' "sorry, this ain't workin' out lady, because one of us is being overdramatic"..... |
