CocoRosie – Lyla Lyrics 16 years ago
"It reminded me
Of a movie I just saw
About a little girl
From Yugoslavia
She got sent away
They made her prostitute
She ate McDonald's all day
And never had a chance to play
Lyla "

Lilya 4-EVER

Oingo Boingo – Nasty Habits Lyrics 17 years ago
"Nasty habits I must condone
No one knows what I do when I'm all alone
Nasty habits I'm so ashamed
But we must not let that stop our little game
Nasty habits are so much fun"

CocoRosie – Miracle Lyrics 17 years ago
Gender role reversal? ehh, not picking up on that.

You're right about the first love part. The first boy in a more innocent time, a first kiss, on the cheek.
The second was an older man ("But Victor he was my first man") who she lost her virginity to, "Viva lost childhood".

"Be my boy forever
And I'll be your girl"
Exactly what a girl that age is thinking, so perfectly put.
the faint "I'll be your girl" is so good for the song, makes it a bit eerie, hinting pain, "lost childhood" and ignorance.
beautiful song.

Led Zeppelin – Going to California Lyrics 17 years ago
"Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart." -

self explainatory. he was with a woman who hurt him and made him unhappy, until he decided to end it and leave, he needed a change so he went to Cali.

"The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today." -
Watching the sunrise, most likely, the euphoria of changing for the better, the fear of not knowing what could possibly happen next, chasing after something that doesn't exist, a happiness you have no reason to believe is there.

"Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems." -
wanting so badly to find that person that you long for, and realising that she's only a dream, something within yourself that you will never find in the world.
trying to tell yourself that you can live with that, though it doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to do.

Elbow – Asleep In The Back Lyrics 17 years ago
I think it's about a relationship that went too fast and fell apart. Like, they found out about each other more than they wanted to know.

"The shameless fits of love that only smother you for moments
Until I fold them up and leave
All yours"
Getting very close too fast and then ending it abruptly.

"show your scars, not to rush you"
talking about the things that have hurt her in the past, asking too much too soon.

"And all the things I never talk about
Are spilling with the gin
Test how tough you are"
getting drunk and talking about the past, things he wouldn't normally disclose, things that has hurt him, that might hurt her, and whether or not she can take to hear it.


That's my initial interpretation at least, might not be what was intended to be heard but that's how I saw it.

Chad Vangaalen – Clincally Dead Lyrics 17 years ago
i like the first comment meaning, but it doesn't have to be a furturistic thing. i was thinking he was talking about whether or not someone should pull the plug on someone that's living off a machine. i think he's saying that you're still there, even though you're just dreaming, so "put up a fight".

Xiu Xiu – Support Our Troops OH! (Black Angels OH!) Lyrics 18 years ago
Also, a line is missing. Here's what it is:



"You shot your grenade launcher into people's windows and
Into the doors of peoples houses
but you wanted to shoot it into someone, just to watch them blow up.
why should I care if you get killed?"

Xiu Xiu – Support Our Troops OH! (Black Angels OH!) Lyrics 18 years ago
You are just being a pervert, listentocursive. This song has nothing to do with sex. It doesn't "supposedly" have to do with the war, it DOES have to do with the war. It's a very clear song.

Just because someone is gay, doesn't mean their music is necessarily going to be about sex.

How did you even get that? Didn't the bit about shooting the girl tip you off that this wasn't a song about gays or AIDS?

And I'm pretty sure Jamie isn't gay, he's bisexual.
