Pretty much agree with the above. By the way the lyrics are 'Donder maar op consider yourself told in Dutch'... as in being told, in Dutch |

One big cheesy joke, but a great, fun song. Off of Semisonic's third album, mind, not the second. |

| Rob Dougan – Drinking Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I wrote this for a newspaper review and blog once: A long, long time ago (around 2002), I can still remember how a piece of music used to make me smile. And though the critics, given the chance, used to lump it under ‘dance’, there were classicists who were happy for a while. I refer to a particular moment in my favourite album ever, Rob Dougan’s Furious Angels. [...] Furious Angels is the perfect album because, for me, it tells a story. As the opening titles fade out from Prelude we get the beginning action sequence in the title track, not making sense but whetting our appetites for what is to come. The scene is then set in Will You Follow Me? Here we visit our hero’s home (it could almost be the Shire), a brightly coloured and triumphant scene before the first betrayal, Left Me For Dead, and our first frenzied wail of rejection in I’m Not Driving Anymore. And from there, we keep digging, the scene getting darker and darker and more and more intense until we can take it no more, when the orchestra is abandoned and the black and white visuals of the story so far make way for our hero sat at a piano alone in the corner of a smoky bar with half a dozen whisky chasers behind him and his dreams torn to shatters and all he wants… all he wants, is to kiss her lips and weep. I refer to Drinking Song. This is the moment from a long, long time ago (around 2002) when a piece of music used to make me smile. It not only tells a story, but in fact Rob’s voice actually takes the role of our character. With each lonely piano note you long for the heroine to return and complete our hero’s list, to carry the traveller his last mile, to be with him to cherish that long, last look of the swallow preparing to fly east. Needless to say, I love this song so much. When I had it blaring out in the car last week and some birds actually fluttered up around me on the second the strings take flight, a tear actually came to my eye. Sometimes music really can soothe the savage beast. |

| U2 – Elevation Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Note to sic n twisted: you are allowed to not like U2. No band is like by everybody. What you are not allowed to do is callously and unjustifiably insult an artist and/or it's fans without any form of qualification or constructiveness. This website is for discussing and, if need be, criticism. But what you are doing is not criticism but bullying. Grow up. |

| U2 – Elevation Lyrics | 17 years ago |

"Been living like a mole Now going down, excavation" Recently voted the 5th worst lyric ever in a BBC 6music poll. Oh dear. Rocking song though, and fun. What more could you ask? |

| Five for Fighting – The Last Great American, New Last Verse (9/15/2001) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The new last verse was in response to 9/11 Originally the song was a social comment on the demise of the idea of America, of it's good old values and liberty, kind of a 'I can't believe it has come to this', hence: "and the children gave the blessing, though the service weren't half done, each of them sued the other one, for the last great american" The last great American was the last remnant of this idea, and here he is buried. However, with 9/11, the American spirit was reborn, as everyone stood together and instead of blaming each other looked after their neighbour instead. Thus, the character of the Last Great American was reborn, through the smoke and morning sun. A new chapter in life had begun. |

| The Ghost Who Walks – I Found God Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Neil McCormick (The Ghost Who Walks) claims this song came to him in a dream, after years of battling uncertainty with faith. The words of an agnostic who believes in self worth. Beautiful. | |
| Semisonic – Kneel Down Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Brilliant rare early song with a real edge not seen so much as Semisonic made it big. Rare moment of swearing there too. Tut tut Mr Wilson! | |
| Five for Fighting – Nobody Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i love this song, the way it draws together all the themes of the Battle for Everything. Maybe in part, that theme is 'scrutiny, ridicule and indulgence' but theres so much more. Not really sure what this ones about, longing for a long lost friend, remembering and cherishing the happy times as if that person is gone forever. Not sure really, but love the song and the spoken poetry at the end is great, after all, it really is the happy moments along the way, that in the end, make it ok. | |
