Eagles – The Sad Cafe Lyrics 21 years ago
My opinion on this song is simply that they are talking about the break-up of the band.

The "Cafe" is just the Eagles themselves - or better put, the time that the band was together.

The first stanza just lays out that a reminising is about to happen.

The next stanza states that the members could express their feelings through song more than - or instead of - through their words or actions.

"Expecting to fly" could represent the word Eagle.

"Some of THEIR dreams came true" - THEIR being the important word - signifying the past tense of the Eagles. Then "stayed behind..." meaning the band did not finish all that the members wanted to accomplish and/or communicate to us.

I may be totally off - but that is my take on this song....

Eagles – New Kid In Town Lyrics 21 years ago
The Eagles are all about the true meaning of their songs - most of the time well hidden from the obvious.

All of the songs in Hotel California had a political overtone. Life in the Fast Lane is about being elected, then leaving as President of the US.

This about it like this:

"New Kid in Town" = President
"the street" = Washington, DC
the female character = the US
"which side you're on" = Democrat or Republican

When you hear this song with those thoughts in mind, you get the clearer meaning of what most people think is just a love song.......
