R.E.M. – Auctioneer (Another Engine) Lyrics

16 years ago

In the Live at the Olympia recording, Stipe dedicates this song to his deceased grandfather and explained that during his childhood, his grandfather would take train trips between Washington DC and Atlanta, GA. Before he would depart, he gave each of his grandchildren a penny to place on the track, so that after the train had left each of them had a squished penny to remember him by until he returned. That would explain all the images of coins and trains, but I'm not sure about the rest of the song.

Foo Fighters – Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running) Lyrics	18 years ago
It's actually about the 1980's emocore scene, since Grohl was a part of that in his band Scream.

This is a pretty straightforward song, about how nice it feels to get into a pool in the middle of summer.

Meat Puppets – Scum Lyrics	20 years ago
This is a really good song, my friend thinks that it's about how human beings are the "scum" in life, but I'm not sure I agree with that.

Meat Puppets – Never To Be Found Lyrics	20 years ago
I like this song a lot, except I have no clue what this song is about. The lyrics are very... Kirkwoodish though.
