| Possibly the most beautiful poetry ever written. Becky's voice is incredible. | |
| Slow Club – Because We're Dead Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Anyone noticed how most of their songs, while beautiful, contain some reference to death? Or even some kind of grevious injury. Usually in a kind of quirkily poetic, but also melancholy and haunting way, where it sounds so pretty and innocent, but when you look at the lyric is actually kind of disturbing! Because we're dead - kinda speaks for itself Come on Youth: "Even if I did, I'd be talking to bones in the ground" "Charles you've killed the choir, the boy set himself on fire" I'm Alive - really the opposite I suppose, but still has odd bits in it Let's Fall Back in Love: "Come and share this too, with the rest of our dead family" Pirates: "You shot me in the back" Summer Shakedown: "Not my little finger please, because I lost it to a rotary fan" "The eyes of your opponents, may they fall to the floor" Thinking Drinking Sinking Feeling: "Are you the one who ends up dead" Trick Question: "You will soon be bones in a bag, buried south of our house" "When I go" - all about death really. These guys are amazing, both live and on record, but I never realised how these haunting undertones come through the innocent, energetic melodies. |

"All your doubts and fears I hope Some day stop haunting you" Fantastic EP. Really really brilliant. |

Still can't work out the line after "Blackfriars Bridge", but after that it's Hit the homeward road I'm a bowling green, I'm a livery boy Have a heart that skips a beat Oh come on, roll along for free |

| Slow Club – Slow Club Summer Shake Down Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Sorry, another correction lol "And duels will decide And jewels, oh they will shine" Good job otherwise, fantastic song! |

| Slow Club – Slow Club Summer Shake Down Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Not my little finger please, cos I lost it to a rotary fan" "You get to rattle the trophy of gold" "The building falls down I'm in the rubble but I'm comfy at least Now I'm waiting for someone with spades To dig me out the mess that I've made" "Push the paddle" |

Put your wine in water Pull your chips back in So you crawl like a crab across Blackfriars Bridge. Not sure about the next bit. |

| Johnny Flynn – Sally Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Well, must be someone's son they thought and should've thought some more" Lovely tune |
|
| Slow Club – Because We're Dead Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Should be: "I didn't say goodbye today Oh I did it the coward's way I tied it to the neck of a seafaring deck That was sailing off down your way" Fantastic song! :D |
|
| Johnny Flynn – Hong Kong Cemetery Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The song is dedicated to Johnny Flynn's grandfather, who died in 1952 and is buried in Hong Kong Protestant Cemetery. It's about his father and how the loss affected him. | |
| Johnny Flynn – Tickle Me Pink Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Seconded! Fantastic music, love it! Saw them in Leicester last weekend & met Johnny afterwards! :D Lovely chap, very polite | |
| Emiliana Torrini – Gollum's Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This is perfect for Gollum. In fact, he actually says "and we wept to be so alone" in the film. It just conveys the despair and sorrow of the character so well, such a beautifu lament. | |
| U2 – One Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
D'you hear us coming lord? D'you hear us call? D'you hear us knocking, We're knocking at your door! D'you hear us coming lord? D'you hear us call? D'you see us scratching, Will you make us crawl? |
|
| U2 – Window in the Skies Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I like this song. It's very ATYCLB style U2. By the way, it should be: The heat that's in the sun Will keep us when there's none |
|
| Mary J. Blige – One (feat. U2) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I've seen the video for this. Larry Mullen looks fed up. | |
| U2 – Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The Edge as a singer is definitely underappreciated. He should sing more often. | |
| Pet Shop Boys – Heart Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Seen the video? Woohoo! Sir Ian McKellen is brilliant! | |
| David Bowie – Ashes to Ashes Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"I'm stuck with a valuable friend": Heroin is expensive, man. |
|
| U2 – Miracle Drug Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The Edge sings the verse: "Beneath the noise, below the din, I hear your voice, it's whispering: In science and in medicine I was a stranger, you took me in" while Larry does the backing vocals before "God, I need..." etc. ("Oh yeah, oohhh-oohhh yeah"). Not sure if this is just the live version, but best bit! Larry should do more backing vocal. |

| Ricky Gervais – Free Love Freeway Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| What genius Mr Gervais has. How great is this song (bearing in mind it was written ironically for the character of David Brent)? | |

| U2 – Numb Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Does anyone know what Edge says in the verse in between "Don't take it on board Don't fall on your sword Just play another chord If you feel you're getting bored" and "Don't change your brand Don't listen to the band Don't ape, don't gape, don't change your shape Have another grape" It's behind Bono's "Too much is not enough" bit. |
|
| U2 – Bad Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
On the Rattle & Hum DVD, they include lyrics from "Ruby Tuesday" and "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Who: Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you? Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you? Pleased to meet you! I hope you guess my name! Pleased to meet you! I hope you guess my name! |

| Mary J. Blige – One (feat. U2) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "Feat. U2"? It's their song! | |
| U2 – Angel Of Harlem Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
In the Rattle and Hum film, they do a different version: It was a cold a cold and wet December day When we touched the ground at JFK Sunset on the Uncle Sam Charlie the Birdman And an angel New York like a Christmas tree Tonight this city belongs to me Angel Soul Love, this love won't let me go So long, Angel of Harlem Moonlight on the avenue God knows when they got to you Strung out, you learned to sing Eyes swollen like a bee sting Birdland on 53, the street sounds like a symphony We got Jon Coltrane and a love supreme Miles and she’s got to be an angel Soul Love, this love won't let me go So long, Angel of Harlem |
|
| U2 – Elevation Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think the Tomb Raider remix is better than the album version. It's the version used in the video anyway. | |
| U2 – Numb Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think that 4:20 is actually a drugs reference. It's just on the remixes that it's a different time. I think the video is great! I love the way Edge just sits there while random folk come up and abuse him in various ways. | |
| U2 – Until The End Of The World Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
One of the best guitar riffs ever THE best guitar solo ever! |
|
| Oasis – The Importance Of Being Idle Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Apparently "If I'd written Importance of Being Idle ten years ago id wouldn't sound fuck all like it does now". The wit and wisdom of the Gallaghers, spoken in their usual drunken drawl. That said, this is Q magazine's best song of the year 2005 and I have to say I agree with them. | |
| U2 – I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I really like the version on the Rattle and Hum DVD with the gospel choir, even though it left Adam Clayton with nothing to do! | |
| Coldplay – Square One Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The guitar bit after: "Under the surface trying to get through" is brilliant. It's very The Edge-ish. |
|
| Coldplay – Low Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Great song, particularly like the spoon solo. It's actually: "Living in perfect symmetry Nothing is as down on this earth As us" |
|
| U2 – Yahweh Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Who else could get away with calling a song "Yahweh"? | |
| U2 – Miami Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This was the weakest song on U2's worst ever album and is the black mark on their otherwise perfect record. Now, let's never mention it again. | |
| U2 – Lady With the Spinning Head Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is on the Best of 1990-2000 B-sides CD. Absolutely no idea what it means. Cool dance track though, if you're into that kinda thing... |
