| Rainbow Arabia – Holiday in Congo Lyrics
| 16 years ago

For the second verse, this is what I hear...
All my days are lived for me
and all my days are gone, gone.
All my days are yesterday and I'll sing along:
no, no. no, no. no, no. no, no.

Are there correct lyrics in the Goddamnit Redux booklet for the entire song? If so, you should definitely post them up here and help all of us out who can't find the right ones anywhere! That one line you posted above certainly seems better than most of the other 'versions' i've seen online. If you have the time, go for it. Thanks! |

| The Clash – Corner Soul Lyrics
| 17 years ago

This song (Corner Soul) is most likely about the Rivers Of Blood speech by Enoch Powell, a conservative MP in the UK in the 1960's... Basically, he was saying that the black (and other minority, to a lesser extent) British subculture - what Strummer generally refers to as "music"* - cannot co-exist with English, white culture and the entire multi-ethnic situation will implode and result in a catastrophic, biblical-style 'river of blood' in the streets of Birmingham specifically and the UK more generally. Obviously, Strummer is at odds with this opinion and doubts the logic, or at least thinks it's interesting, expressed in the question "Is the music calling for the river of blood?" You can read more about the speech and its effects and interpretations at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers_of_Blood_speech.
*Music in the black British culture has also been explored by, among others, Paul Gilroy who called the LP the second most important influence the creation of (and distinction from pre-existing black cultures) black British culture. At least, I'm pretty sure it was Gilroy. |

no kidding.
so, i just want to know what the high background vocals are saying under the last verse. it's probably whatever the girl in the song is supposed to be writing down, and it's probably funny (stereotypical faux-marxist/angsty teenager writings). I'm guessing this only because one of the first words she sings is "bourgeois." After that i can't make it out. Any help? |

I don't like those chances"

his song is about just what the chorus says. apparently, julian has nothing to say. or at least, nothing that makes sense as a whole song. it's just a song where the strokes are messing around and using the time to experiment a bit. it just is what it is, it doesn't have to be like other strokes songs. |
