| Jem – They Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
"Yeah, this song is totally Harry/Hermione from Harry Potter. They want to be together, but they can't because of things they can't control... And Hermione understands, and she is "Sorry... So sorry.." " To quote the great Emerson, *cough*delusional!*cough*. I love this song, just the word "they" gives me a shiver! It sounds like little kids going "Down down, Jackie, down" though, which makes me think of Jackie Stallone =( |

| Stephen Fretwell – Run Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| It's like the other person is the beautiful tree and in saying "it's a shame that the root of it's me" it's like "it's a shame that i'm holding you down" | |
| Stephen Fretwell – Run Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I LOVE the line "Beautiful tree, beautiful tree, it's a shame that the root of it's me". I think that this song is about being in a relationship where you know that the other person deserves more than you can give them, but you hope that they will stay anyway and you would do anything you could to make them happy ("There is nothing here for you, But if you stay, Well then let me say, I'll go out of my way for you" and "A knock on the door, To tell me if you want some more, I can't relate To what's on your plate" and "Tell me tomorrow, I'll wait by the window for you") What the hell is a squeeze box, though? |

| Stephen Fretwell – Emily Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I know the song is about an ex girlfriend, but the song is different for me, because I know a girl called Emily who is 17 and dying of cancer, and the last line of the chorus really struck me when I heard it on the radio - "'Cause Emily you, well just look at you - you're a tragedy" Beautiful song, I love his voice |

| Franz Ferdinand – Jacqueline Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I'm Scottish, and I live in Glasgow half the time. "But for chips, and for freedom I could die" is a very Scottish reference. Remember Braveheart?? "FREEEEDOOOOM!" Well to be perfectly honest, chips and freedom are probably the most important things in the world to a lot of Scottish people, especially after a few drinks. It's just to do with having a sense of pride and patriotism to die for freedom, and who WOULDN'T be dying for a bag of chips after a hard day at work? sorry, rambling |

| Franz Ferdinand – 40 Ft. Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Nah over here in Scotland it's really a mixture. They teach metric in schools but that's a recent development. People still measure heights in feet and inches rather than centimetres, and use miles instead of kilometres. It's not just Scotland, all UK really. And to me it sounded like some sort of tidal wave to me. But I highly doubt that's what it's about. But yeah to me it sounds like feeling calm about your impending death... like "Holy shit, I'm going to die... oh well, nothing I can do now. Might as well enjoy my last moments..... ooh la la la la la la la la..." The things that makes me think of water is "As I glance once upon the foam 40 feet beneath my feet" "Salt scales upon my drying arms" and I like how they manage to make something that should sound disgusting sounds peaceful, through the chilled-ness of the song... "The coldest calm falls Through the molten veins Cooling all the blood to slush That congeals around the brain " |

| Franz Ferdinand – Darts Of Pleasure Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
has anyone been on franz ferdinands website? they have lyrics there, but it's not the actual lyrics in the song. it gives you an understanding of what the song is about. in darts of pleasure it says "you are the devil that sells a line of dark fantastic passion. i know that you will surrender. you can feel my lips undress your eyes. skin can feel my lips they tingle, tense anticipation. words of love and words so leisured, words are poison darts of pleasure" i think the line of dark fantastic pleasure is about cocaine... all of franz ferdinands lyrics are put in there for a reason. and yeah, TOTALLY about sex. i think the german bit is possibly like a climax. "i'm feeling superfantastic"... yeah, it's more like a LOOSE translation of "i am superfantastic, i'm drinking champagne with caviar, i am su-per-fan-tas-tic!". Doesn't shouting "I am superfantastic" after all of that sexual messing about in the song sound like a climax to you?!?! but yeah, the official website, www.franzferdinand.co.uk, is great for giving you a proper idea of what the songs are about. |

| Damien Rice – Amie Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I totally interpreted the song differently. That's not because I think my interpretation is right, it just seems to fit in with how I think. I thought it was about growing and changing and losing what you had with people, not through anything particular, just through time and change. "Nothing unusual, nothing's changed Just a little older that's all You know when you've found it, There's something I've learned 'Cause you feel it when they take it away" |

| Franz Ferdinand – Michael Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
and Michael IS a friend of the band, they said so at T in the Park. As is Jacqueline, she was at the Barrowlands gig! Franz Ferdinand are leading people a merry dance though, they've said that it's about their friend, OR that it's about a famous Michael (Michael Jackson being one of the options) |

yeah, the come all over me bit! I was looking through my friend Danielle's booklet that she got with her CD before I bought it, and the lyrics are made to look like they've been printed on a typewriter, so there's this line in it that's been X'd over with the "typewriter", and I looked really close and it DOES say "So come all over me".. the bit in the song though, doesn't go where it says that it goes in the lyrics. But there's a bit that kinda sounds like a record when you have it on a really slow revolution or whatever it is, and i think that this is where it's said. I went to see Franz Ferdinand play last month at the Glasgow Barrowland, and I swear that that was one of the most amazing gigs I've been to. For the venue it was in, anyway. If it had been a stadium gig it'd have been shit but it worked SO well in a small-but-great venue like the Barrowland. I saw them at T in the Park too but it was so much better in Glasgow, being so close to them. They are a really fantastic band. |

| Dogs Die in Hot Cars – Lounger Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I love this song sooooooooo much!! My cousin Ruth is the keys player in this band. Does anyone else think that this song sounds a bit Talking Heads-ish? It's just about the freedoms that a person feels post-adolescence but pre-maturity! | |
| Travis – Flowers In The Window Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| well, flowers are used to describe children. if someone has "a flower in the window" then they are pregnant. i think it's about growing up basically, growing uo and beginning life | |
