John Butler Trio – Fire In the Sky Lyrics 18 years ago
I can really only listen to it live. Maybe it's coz I've had the song since 2005 so it sounds strange from the studio, but I don't really like the staccato-sounding guitar bits. Flows much better in the live version, I think.

The Smashing Pumpkins – We Only Come Out at Night Lyrics 18 years ago
When I listened through Mellon Collie the first few times I didn't pay much attention to this song. It was more in the background, and the music made me think of frogs. Most random thing ever, but now all I ever think about is frongs when I hear this song haha
And I love it now too.

The Smashing Pumpkins – Vanity Lyrics 18 years ago
This song was much better than half the ones on Machina, so I don't know why it wasn't on there. Or even Judas O.
One of my favourite pumpkin songs actually.

John Butler Trio – Caroline Lyrics 18 years ago
The lyrics pretty clearly tell the story of a girl, abused as a child, who leaves home early and most probably gets into the drug and prostitution scene. Until the barriers she's built to help her cope separate her from everyone else and drives her to suicide. I reckon it's sad.

Sounds beautiful as well.

john said recently it's about going thru the motions, and trying to recapture the spark of when they first met. hence the chorus.
something along those lines anyway

Powderfinger – Since You've Been Gone Lyrics 20 years ago
Bernard's brother had died before Vulture Street came out, and he says that most of the songs on that album were about him, even though they can apply to break ups or something.

Awesome song, btw.
