| Bloc Party – This Modern Love Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i think this song is more about two people in a relationship and one being too busy or pre-occupied "You've been trying to reach me You bought me a book" like the narrator has other stuff in life and they have been trying to get together and maybe "I've been paid" refers to feeling richer by hanging out with the other person (because later on they say "I'll pay for you anytime") and being absent minded means that they have their mind somewhere else, perhaps the second half of the song is the point of veiw from the other person and they're trying to tell them why cant we be something? and the "Do you wanna come over and kill some time? Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts " means that one wants to be together and wants to know the truth... i just kinda tried to relate it to my situation which was just easier |

| British Sea Power – A Wooden Horse Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| i can beleive it, not alot of people know about bsp and it's a shame... or they just dont use this website : P ... but if you look at it a bit more literally, it tells the story of the Trojan Horse (that's what i thought when i first hear the song name and before i heard it) "Oh bring it in and let us see it" would be the citizens of Troy thinking this is a perfectly nice gift, "Yeah I'm ready to to kill" is like the soldiers inside waiting to attack and syaing they are ready... but it could also be more metaphorically like your explanation, or someone using a facade to get close to you just to use you | |
