| Boy – Little Numbers Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[Brighterrr:12075] Yes. I agree. The numbers refer to an American number. This seems to go along with the other songs like New York, where she is talking about a local wild horse to come and pick her up. Sounds like she met a guy from the USA with a red car. The band is from Germany/Switzerland where I believe, phone numbers have 12 digits. That's basically why she says 7 "little" numbers. | |
| Patrick Watson – Words in the Fire Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| In a video you can see on youtube Patrick explains he wrote the song when he and the band were invited at a young people party in northern Quebec. Sitting around the fire, he got asked if he knew any Bob Marley song. He didn't but he decided he would wrote a song that would recreate the atmosphere of Marley. Very much like Redemption song :) | |

| NOFX – Eat The Meek Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
From what I know of NOFX they like to make fun of hippies. Just like the song August 8th on Heavy Petting Zoo. **NO MATTER WHAT PUNKS ARE**, NOFX is a band that like laughing about humanity. So this song is written as if they were vegetarian hippies. The reggae beat seams to go with this explanation. They even pushed it further with a DUB version on "45 or 46 Songs that weren't good enough to go on our records". I can be wrong though. Guys, this is internet, nobody's gonna grow bigger balls by defining what a real punk is on a website :) You should give your interpretation of the song.... its meaning... |

| Beck – Steal My Body Home Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Here is what I found on http://whiskeyclone.net/ghost/songinfo.php?songID=278: This song was recorded a long time before Mellow Gold. It was back in 1992 around the same time Beck first hooked up with Carl Stephenson and Bong Load records. As the story goes, Tom and Rob of Bong Load discovered Beck (seperately!) and they immediately set him up with Stephenson. A few recording sessions later, they had (at least) "Loser" and "Steal My Body Home" in the can, and the first single with the two songs was released on Bong Load. The rest is history. "Steal My Body Home" is one of those odd tracks which sound like a jumble of ideas mixed together. Songs like this usually help define Beck as being "Beck-like." A slow and eerie song at its core, Beck puts in three strikingly different breaks in between the main sections. The first is a short and squeaky violin bridge, presumably played by old friend Petra Haden (though she's only credited with appearing on "Blackhole" in the Mellow Gold liner notes, so perhaps it is someone else?), and definitely sounding like John Cale, Velvet Underground's cellist. A few verses later, the song becomes a relatively upbeat, distorted guitar arpeggio. It doesn't seem to fit, but it works! Beck tops the song off with the clincher, as the entire outro is a long jugband jam complete with lead kazoo and a sitar (?) and all sorts of good stuff. Unfortunately, the song slowly fades out before it can drastically change directions again. As is often reported, Beck makes up his lyrics fairly quickly. "Steal My Body Home" might be one of the best examples of that. The music is so structured that the lyrics probably got added on almost as an afterthought. That's not to say they're meaningless or uninteresing -- this is Beck we're talking about! A lot of the rhymes and lines though are ones seen in other songs around the time, or are standard blues images (hollow logs, "you know you cannot hide when the devil's your only friend," etc.), which usually fall back into Beck's lyrics naturally. Beck begins the song sounding very much like he's singing about his experience in Los Angeles ("Put me in a hole in the ground / with the money and the town / and the women all running around" and "The trees are fake, the air is dead"). That is his home, after all, which is mentioned in the title. After that, the verses go in all sorts of directions, much like the music. A cohesive focus is difficult to discern. |

| CB2001 there is something you don't understand....Your big car has nothing to do with hippy life. The song tells us that we dont need much to be happy... just mixing sounds makes people feel good. When you are a hippy you dont need to drive a Mustang to find the hapiness. The truth in life is found in the smallest things.. like listening to morcheebah music | |

| Sublime – Romeo Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think he enjoyed a relationship with a girl but to ralationship was based on a dirty way of life. Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right, not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night, cuz. This was a contradiction with the way of thinking of reggae music.. Love and respect. And in the morning he felt guilty to see he is not true to himself.. "Rock the reggae music, cuz it sounds so fine, right! When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine, but in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same" |
