Gravenhurst – The Prize Lyrics 2 years ago
This is about drugs. Getting the burning desire to get high when a specific influential associate comes round and, despite promises to self not to get addicted/do it again, taking the trip to town to score.

Either that or the regret of an affair.

Roxy Music – Both Ends Burning Lyrics 8 years ago
It is about someone who has had a very hot spicy meal during a night out on the booze. Hungover the next morning, they have spewed forth the spoils of the evening before and have realised the meat was probably past its best.

Strawberry Switchblade – Since Yesterday Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is about exlovers or childhood loves meeting for the first time in ages. I think they split up amicably maybe because one moved away and one still holds a flame for the other. They are both in unhappy relationships with other people and are reflecting on the happy times they once had together.

Taking each bit...

"Just close your eyes and then remember
The thoughts you've locked away
When tomorrow comes you'll wish
You had today "

Is like saying "Hey remember when we did this?" "Oh yeah we did that didnt we? Oh what wags we were!!" kind of thing.

"And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It's so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday"

So theyre sat alone musing about their current situations and reflecting on the fun they had together. But the singer is saying "Yeah we had a good time but theyre best left as memories"

"If you're still there when it's all over
I'm scared I'll have to say
That a part of you has gone
Since yesterday"


So the singers now saying "If you're still in the same situation when this is over then you're not the person you once were". Maybe the person she is singing this to once had more vie for life, ambition or confidence. Things that tend to suffer at end of a relationship.

"Well, maybe this could be the ending
with nothing left of you
A hundred wishes couldn't say
I don't want to "

Then she is saying "But ok, you might be a pitiful wreck of the person you once were but if our situations were different I'd get back with you. I couldnt wish for anything else."

Then again I might be talking utter crap. Cracking song though. Love the video.
