| Dogwood – In The Line Of Fire Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| did you know that 76.532% of statistics were made up on the spot? And for a different, more cynical angle, read Freakonomics. The author makes a compelling argument that Roe vs. Wade actually lowered crime because many unwanted babies are poorly treated, underprivileged, and as such become criminals. The world is overpopulated as it is, guys. | |

| Manu Chao – Clandestino Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| jimguk... marroquino ilegal would make a lot of sense, but i doubt thats what it is for a couple of reasons: i believe that the word for a morrocan native is just "marroquin," with an accent on the i, and furthermore, manu chao is so into slang that i think hed probably use the more common (if less politically correct) 'morro.' | |

| Manu Chao – Desaparecido Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"They call me 'The Dissappeared' When he arrives, he's already gone Flying I come, flying I go Hurry, hurry on a lost path When they look for me I'm never there When the find me I am not The one who's out front because I went running over there They call me 'The Disappeared' A ghost that's never here They say to me 'The Disgraced' But that's not the truth I carry in my body a pain That won't let me breath I carry in my body a chain That always makes me walk They call me . . . I carry in my body a motor That never stops turning I carry in my soul a path Destined to never arrive They call me... Lost in the century... The 20th century... Headed towards the 21st." |

I hate my life... ---- i wish i was named after the dead... as it was, i got a grandmother and a great-aunt. i turned 80 years old as soon as i was named. on another note, this song is very pretty. |

| Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
see, greeley, this is where youre dumb. i happen to not believe in christain traditions. in person, i would mock your entire belief system. nothing personal, but organized religions, (especially religions that were traditionally used to control people rather than to better tham [check out what the catholic church was up to around the dark ages... they were promoting illiteracy because they didnt want people to interpret the bible for themselves]) really just are rather primitive and annoying. sure, jesus was a fine philosopher. no, he was not the son of god. and no, he did not die for me. get the fuck out of my face. |

| Dogwood – In The Line Of Fire Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"But, what is important to realize, is they never say its not the woman's right to choose, just that they think its wrong. They never insult, bash or condem the mother in anyway. They basically just want people to own up to their actions, Abortion is cheating life. I do agree its a woman's choice, but its also her choice to keep her legs closed." -fixxpanel YOU ARE SO WRONG! those people outside abortion clinics all but attack the women! are incest, rape, and genetic defects not valid reasons for you? keep their legs closed... that is such bullshit. |

i have never heard this song. i have never listened to this band. (sidenote: im sure both suck.) dont be vocally pro-life until youre in the position of carrying a baby you know will have tay-sachs (and die before the age of five), or before you get pregnant by your rapist. neither a fetus nor an embyo is a child. god is dead. see you in hell. |

| for some reason, i actually like this song. its catchy. and fun to translate. we listened to it in spanish class. | |
| O-Zone – Dragostea Din Tei Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i hope everyone has seen the i-tunes video of this song. the fucking funniets thing ever. bar none. they shimmy, open shirted, down the middle of a plane, totally serious. they DANCE ON THE WING OF AN AIRPLAINE. fucking ridiculous. i literally almost died the first time i saw it; i honestly couldnt breathe. amazing. | |
| Juanes – Que Pasa? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i just reread my translation; a lot of places, it makes more sense to say 'is happening' instead of 'happens.' its not as distinct a difference in spanish. and i realize that the word happen is really redundant. but thats the song, not the translation. if anyone has corrections, tell me! |
|
| Juanes – Que Pasa? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
'what happened?' I ask I ask 'what happened in the world today' In all the papers, I read the same horrifying news Lives that fall without reason (1) Why will it be that there is so much war Why will it be that there is so much sadness What will it be, what will it be, I ask What will it be, I ask I ask what it will be since there is no love And that instead of embracing eachother, we make (2) canyons And we foget love Why will it be that there is so much war Why will it be that there is so much sadness What will it be, what will it be, I ask The people are killing eachother, the people are dying And I here I am, following without understanding What happens with the world is so filthy, What happens, I ask, what happens, I ask I ask, what happens today in the world It's so absurd that it's sad What happens that nothing good happens to us And that peace never passes here What happens that only war happens What is it that happens, I ask (1)- 'without reason' can also mean 'without right' or 'injustly' (2)- 'we make' is literally translated as 'we give' [from present 'we' of v. dar] yeah, spanish. this was one of the many songs we listened to in spanish class this year. |

ripple and brokedown palace are two of my favorate songs. i have told everyone i trust that this song needs to be played at my funeral. |

| Grateful Dead – Touch Of Grey Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
im going to defer to the annotated Dead lyrics on the ACB's parts. (the URL is http://www.arts.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/#songs) Great website. Anyway, Able and Baker are the first two words in that ridiculous military alphabet (old version). You know the one, or if you don't, watch Meet the Parents again. Delta is the new international 'd' in the phoneitc alphabet. There are other random place and situations where Able and Baker appear together. On a not-assuming-I-know-shit note, this is just an amazing song. Whenever I have a shitty day, I listen to this song over and over again. I love the places 'touch of grey' is inserted in the song. People who don't know me well say that I'm too morbid; "Oh, well, a touch of grey kind of suits you anyway" always comes to my mind. And every silver lining does, in fact, have a Touch of Grey |

| Dar Williams – Playing To the Firmament Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
my mom is a weslyan alum (several years before dar), and my great uncle is a prof. there. somehow, through some alumni feature, my mom started listening to dar. and, at about 6, i loved my mom, so i did too. i first heard this song at one of my moms reunions where dar played- i remember it because it was the only song i didnt know. since then, ive seen her maybe 3 times at ravinia and such? i have a picture of me with her when i was like 8. for the longest time, i didnt listen to any of her songs, and then recently, i started again. and i thought, 'wow, i listened to this so many years ago and i missed so much meaning, etc. thats kind of cool.' i love this song; i love the rain |

| i would rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. | |
| The Shins – One By One All Day Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i love this song and the way everything ties together. while not all children are gentle and reverent, this really pulls together the image of a careful, innocent child. | |
| Paul Simon – The Coast Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i love the line "summer skies and stars are falling all along the injured coast." for me, that really illustrates the conflict between natural beauty and man-made destruction. |
|
| Paul Simon – The Obvious Child Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i love the rhythms throughout this album and on this song especially. | |
| NOFX – The Idiots Are Taking Over Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i love the line "the industrial revolution has flipped the bitch on evolution." and its really true. a lot of people shouldnt exist. im not advocating ethnic cleansing or anything (my european family 'got genocided' in the holocaust), but there are these people of all races, ages, and religions that really define the societal decline. ironically, these are the people that feel the most entitlement and think that theyre better than everyone else. anyways, thanks to modern inventions, natural selection is dead. |
|
| Cat Stevens – But I Might Die Tonight Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i love this song. so much of life is preparing for some unfathomable, unspecified and probably unattainable goal. even though this song is really short, it captures that sentiment perfectly. |
|
| Cat Stevens – Novim's Nightmare Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this has been up here for more than 3 yrs with no comments, so i doubt anyone will answer, but does anyone know what he means by 'the nine?' | |
| Streetlight Manifesto – We Are The Few Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
the last part is off in this- at the end, 'we are the few' is only sung once with "but they gave it to me so i might as well be proud of it/ and i know ive done something wrong/ all i know now is ive gotta do something . . . right?" as the ending. great song. |
|
| Don McLean – Vincent (Starry Starry Night) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this is perhaps my favorate song of all time. van gough is my favorate painter- the only other close is dahli- and his life in general was just really tragic. this song puts it together so beautifully. -this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you |
|
| Streetlight Manifesto – Failing, Flailing Lyrics | 18 years ago |

i hate the sun. great song. |
|
| Mustard Plug – Suburban Homesick Blues Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i always think of the title as being a play on bob dylan's "subterranean homesick blues" good song. |
|
| NOFX – Vincent Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i love the original and this version . . . a bunch of other people have tried to cover it and majorly fucked up. nofx's version is so different than don mclean's, i think its really interesting that they manajed to make a decent cover. | |
| Sonic Youth – I Love You Golden Blue Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i love that last verse . . . its so universal yet personal. ha to me at least. | |
| Cat Stevens – Oh Very Young Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"whatever it means to you satisfies me because it's frickin awesome" I wholly agree. I did drawings based on the words of this song. I love it. |
|
| Cat Stevens – Tuesday's Dead Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
JME, that point is mute and ridiculous. If he had not converted to Islam and changed his name to Yusaf Islam, you would have never made that connection. In addition, while it took much planning to kill civilians by flying planes into buildings, I doubt the framework was out there when the song was written . . . about 30 years ago. Sorry, but I love Cat Stevens and this is one of my favorate songs by him. I cannot stand it when people cast aspersions on all of his early music because he converted. |
|
| Cat Stevens – Katmandu Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| katmandu is the last stop on the way to climbing everest, but i dont knwo if this has anything whatsoever to do with the song. | |
| They Might Be Giants – Your Racist Friend Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i think that this song epitomizes whats great about tmbg; listening to the song almost makes me laugh, but its really serious and entirely correct. fuck people's racist friends. | |
| The Rolling Stones – Mother's Little Helper Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this perfectly shows the desperation housewives felt-and feel- while living in an upbeat world/society. i heard this song and was like 'eww, i dont want to get married . . . valium arent even that great' and cutesparkina, you missed the mark with the amphetamines note. shes definately taking valiums- if you take four doses of amphetamines, there is no way in hell you are sleeping through the night OR calming down. |

| Pink Floyd – Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
haha i was at a hebrew immersion camp the summer i turned 15 and one of my israeli counselors and i traded grateful dead and pink floyd cd's. one of the ones he lent me was atom heart mother . . . the song is great, but my strongest association is how funny "psychadelic breakfast" sounds in a heavy israeli accent . . . tripped out song. |
|
| Pink Floyd – If Lyrics | 18 years ago |

| Black Flag – What I See Lyrics | 18 years ago |
