| The line is "He says to me to shake around, and don't stop till you hit the ground." | |
| Oasis – Acquiesce Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| If anyone has ever loved a person, be it a partner or a sibling, and that person questioned the foundation of your love towards them, or just never understood where you are coming from, point them to this song as it provides all the answers. One of the most beautiful love songs never heard. Classic Oasis. | |
| Kent – Music Non Stop Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think this song is about death as a release. Excusing the morbidity of the song, I would agree that it's a simple but very passionate song. | |

zephyrboy64, I'm glad that someone else shares this view of the song. I'm not a fan of bringing people down but I've always maintained that OK Computer is a very apocalyptic-sounding album, and whenever I got to PA I always got a chill because of the turmoil-panic-destruction-desolation pattern evident in the song's sound. Listen carefully and you can almost hear the panic on the streets and the final flash before everything disappears for good. Whoever mentioned Thom's account of a woman with her handbag was right, hence the line "Kicking squealing Gucci little piggy". IMO, this is Thom's metaphor for us, the human race, because we have evolved to this selfish, proud, and self-obsessed race. Gucci, whilst being a brand, is also a metaphor for an ideal - that we have such a fixation with perfection, we have become greedy (what goes unmentioned is that Thom was in a bar and witnessed someone spill water on this lady's Gucci bag, and she went mad). "Rain down" conjures up brilliant imagery. This part of the song sounds beautiful and poetic, but underneath its (deceptively) peaceful exterior IMO there's a hint of horror. Whilst some may see rain (and therefore this part of the song) as a cleansing agent for the human race, allowing us to wash away our sins, what really is raining down on us is wrath. Be it God's wrath or our own doing, it doesn't matter. This part of the song illustrates the beauty of destruction, like the distant flash of brilliance before the mushroom cloud appears. We are getting cleansed, but in a very horrible way. Those who deserve to survive, will, because "God loves his children, yeah". This song is brilliant, but there is no other way to take this song in a happy context. |

Here's a little more on that verse. The second part of the verse alludes to more drawing of comparisons between Chris and Gwyneth and the guy and girl in the song, because the guy says to the girl: ".....But baby you and me We came up from the street No time to hesitate We gotta push our weight....." He's saying to the girl that what they have is more beautiful than Chris and Gwyneth because they are both ordinary people and not superstars, looking for that special someone, and their relationship is founded 'from the street', and not on the pages of some glossy magazine. Because the guy and girl are ordinary people, the moment when they meet and realise that they want each other is more real and beautiful than the glamourous and prestigious relationship of Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. |

This song is great! There's a summer-type feel to the song which makes it great for those long summer parties! As for the "Read all about it verse.....", upon first reading the lyrics, I took this part of the song to be a dig at Chris Martin from Coldplay dating and marrying Gwyneth Paltrow. I hear the words as thus: "Read all about it Have you heard the latest Boy in a band Dates Hollywood actress....." What I think is being said in this part of the song is a drawing of comparisons between Chris and Gwyneth and the guy and the girl in the song. Chris and Gwyneth have been elevated to an almost royalty-like couple and their relationship is almost fairy-tale like when you read the tabloids, hence "Read all about it.....". The budding relationship in the song is more down-to-earth and based in reality and therefore more beautiful because it's the basic 'boy-meets-girl' story, and is not some full-blown fairy-tale. |
