| East River Pipe – Shiny, Shiny Pimpmobile Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| You don't just listen to this song, you are in it. | |
| Xiu Xiu – Sad Pony Guerrilla Girl Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| "loca" is definitely slang for homosexual man, (used for often than not for the more flambouyant variety), but I don't think jamie is using it in this song with this connotation. | |
| Liars – Protection Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| even if it made more sense for it to be "prescription", I think he definitely says "subscription". | |
| Stars – Your Ex-Lover Is Dead Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I love when they sing 'live through this, and you won't look back' , its so true. Seeing people after they break up that first real love, how they all are either completely destroyed and recalcitrant afterwards, or the ones that 'make it' have all a certain cold loose easygoing-ness about them. | |
| Red House Painters – Have You Forgotten Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I listen to this song and when the chorus comes, I ask myself: "Have I forgotten to love myself?" and then the answer is yes and I just drop down in tears! | |
| Tom Waits – Hoist That Rag Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I always thought "Hoist that Rag", considering the music, meant to shake the skirt as in the dancefloor. Hoist that rag translates directly into spanish as "Sacude ese trapo" to mean a skirt. In latin/caribbean music it is extremely popular to call out dancers with expressions like "Sacude" o "Agita", and using the skirt as a part of the dance is culturally established in these traditions. But, it could also be a flag at the same time. Either way the meaning for me is ironic, as to say amidst an apocalyptic backdrop we just dance and have a goodtime. | |
| KISS – God Gave Rock & Roll to You II Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| stupidest song ever? | |
| The Birthday Party – Happy Birthday Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| are you serious? i've never seen such a thing, and I've been to many birthdays. Can you point to a picture of one? i've looked all over the internet and have not found one. | |
| Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band – Moonlight On Vermont Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
whoo this is my favorite song off this record, it's a parody of "Moonlight in Vermont" |
|
| Mark Lanegan – Down in the Dark Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Kurt Cobain sings in this track! feels good to be the first to comment, way before any spotty nirvana fans finds this. | |
| Arcade Fire – No Cars Go Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think this song is about the film "The Village" by M. Night Shyamalan, ( im kidding, i really don't think so)... it's obviously about that special secret place!! | |
| Sonic Youth – Snare, Girl Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| There's some obscurized allusions to the epiphany and the tale of the little drummer boy in this song, possibly due to the use of mid expanding substances..then again maybe not. | |
| Neil Young – Cortez The Killer Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
another funny note on historical accuracy, "On the shore lay Montezuma With his coca leaves and pearls", the aztecs did not know the coca leaf, but perhaps neil did too lol... KILLER SONG! |

|
| Stereolab – Crest Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| this songs means everything to me | |
| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – The Ship Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I also thing that, and I hate to say this, but theres one moment in the beginning, just that one moment!, this song sounds just like "Hard to say I'm sorry" by Chicago lol | |
| The Beatles – Pedro the Fisherman Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| where is this song from? | |
| The Beatles – It Won't Be Long Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love the responsive "Yeaa!" after jonh's it's so crackeddy cool | |
| The Beatles – There's a Place Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| If you read the lyrics the place it's a retreat into his own mind and in isolation. it's a bitter-sweet song. wonderful | |
| Blur – Song 2 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| this song is a tribute to the great Bob Nastanovich from Pavement! | |
| The Doors – Love Street Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this song depicts an "open relationship", like most relationships in the 60s free love era and most likely like the one that Jim shared with Pam. When he sings "She has me and she has you" has this subtle undertone, but everything else in this song creates the backdrop. When he sings with disinterest "I guess I like it fine, so far", it almost like his own "resolution" to jealousy to free love. | |
| Black Sabbath – N.I.B. Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I almost peed my pants in laughter the first time I heard: "My name is Lucifer, please take my hand" TOTAL CHEESE!~ |

|
| The Pogues – Pachinko Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Shane is actually british. | |
| Lee Hazlewood – Some Velvet Morning Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is also sung by Lydia Lunch and Rowland S. Howard (or Nick Cave???), and it's quite amazing! | |
| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – The Ship Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think you are all right on this song, I also would like to add to the lovers interpretation that the song also play's with the idea that "no man's an island". In the song the lyrics affirm the character as an island, thus the song is also a reassurance of your space in any relationship. | |
| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Foi Na Cruz Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"Foi na cruz, foi na cruz Que um dia Meus pecados castigados em Jesus Foi na cruz Que um dia Foi na cruz" Translation from Portuguese: "It was on the cross, on the cross, that one day, My sins were punished in Jesus, It was on the cross, that one day, on the cross" This song is sung in churches in brazil, where "the good son" record was recorded. |
|
| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Where the Wild Roses Grow (feat. Kylie Minogue) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| how come songs from this record have more comments than of any other of Cave's records? this record is horrible! | |
| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I remember I was watching the video of this song with my father and he recognized the man on the hanging picture (in the video) to a political tyrant I think of the Czech republic? I forgot the details of what he told me that day, including the name of the dictator, but it pointed that the meaning of this song is linked to a historical massacre that took place during a regime. | |
| The Birthday Party – Happy Birthday Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| What's a dog chair? | |
| Weezer – Susanne Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Besides everything else that's been said, I always thought there was a witty play with lyrics from Leonard cohen's Suzanne, a similar character, further on when he proclaims "I'm your man" another song by cohen, buut it could be just coincidence...anyways great song | |
| Low – David & Jude Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| an engayment to be precise lol | |
| Low – Fear Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
what's the biblical reference charrbin? I know that during the great flood it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, but they had plenty of water then, and Noah didn't have any daughters. |
|
| Low – Do You Know How to Waltz? Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song its pretty self explanatory, I love the way that it is interpreted though; all the lengthy noise in the beginning embodying the turmoil that brings about the dance escape. | |
| Low – David & Jude Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this song it's about a divorce either of a homosexual couple, or most likely a heterosexual couple were one of the partners is a homosexual man. | |
| Low – The Plan Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song could mean many things, but MAYBE it's about the idea of predetermination, a divine plan that one gets... |
|
| John Lennon – Jealous Guy Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song it's pretty weird... I know it started out as a song called "Child of Nature" during the White Album era, this are the original lyrics: On the road to Rishikesh, I was dreaming more or less, And the dream I had was true, Yes, the dream I had was true. I'm just a child of nature, I don't need much to set me free, I'm just a child of nature, I'm one of nature's children. Sunlight shining in your eyes, As I face the desert skies, And my thoughts return to home, Yes, my thoughts return to home. Underneath the mountain ranges, Where the wind that never changes, Touch the windows of my soul, Touch the windows of my soul. I've always imagined Lennon reworking this song as an act of self-criticism and self-guilt, child of nature is such a 'hippie' cartoon of a song wereas jelous guy its an apologetical song he wrote while been away in LA drinking and partying and being a real asshole to Yoko... but it's pretty weird still. |
|
| The Beatles – Junk Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I have downloaded this song off a compilation entitled "The Whiter Album", full of what I assume is demos for the White album. Paul wrote it while in the beatles while on their spiritual retreat with the maharishi, The lyrics are a cultural critique to american (or first world) capitalist consumerism and decadence and how it is both a mirror of destruction home(as junk) and out (in war). | |
| The Smiths – What's the World? (James cover) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
this is a cover from an early James song... never quite knew why did they decided to cover this particular song. |
|
| Galaxie 500 – Tugboat Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| it so weird, I'd always tought this song said "open your presents"instead of "vote for your president". I thought it was a song about a whimsical and possesive character who desesperately craves attention, now I see it as a much more political song. | |
| The Microphones – The Glow Pt. 2 Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| isn't there a referenced reaction to 9-11 in this song? | |
