| The Kooks – Sofa Song Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I think this is about 2 friends who are after the same girl but go about it in different ways. That's why he suddenly realises that he doesn't like his friend - because they're in competition. When it talks about 'my side of the sofa', I picture a scene with the two guys and the girl in between being tempted, almost as if they're taking turns. 'The city heated up it It got blurry cause I'd had enough' This makes me think that they're on a night out. I think the 'heated up' refers to all the tention between them all and the interaction. I think the second line means that the competition gets too much for him that night because he felt he wasn't getting anywhere and he'd had too much to drink. 'And he tried to take your soul But didn't realise you keep it in a different hole' This line is pretty obvious.. Brilliant wording XD lol |

| The Kooks – Already Miss You Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Quite self explaniatory... I think it's about a couple who have argued or broken up recently (possibly on the phone) and he said things he didn't mean whilst angry. Then after he'd calmed down and thought about it, he realised what she actually means to him and what he'd really like to say to her. Pretty song. | |

To me, this song has great meaning. My best mate of ages suddenly started hanging around with different people a while ago (who I can’t stand). She went through a dramatic change in herself. That affected our friendship badly. The chorus in particular relates to my situation because I can see that she has adapted to suit them and it isn’t really her, “I can see through you see your true colours”. I didn’t want to lose her friendship so for a while, tried to just go along with what she wanted but this was really hard for me. I felt totally rejected by her but was still there for her and didn’t acknowledge my problems with it just so that I didn’t make things awkward for her. This is where the first verse seems to fit: “and you bring me to my knees again all this time that I could beg you please in vain all the times that I felt insecure for you and I leave burdens at the door” I thought things would eventually work themselves out. This wasn’t the case. Things got difficult and we didn’t speak properly for ages and I began to accept that the friendship was over, but eventually we started talking again. When we did, I discovered that not much had changed. She was still a different person to the friend I once knew, this is where the lyrics: “And I feel, all this pain stuffed it down, it’s back again”, seem to make sense. It was as if she had brought the hurt back into my life. Of course I still wanted to be her friend but I had accepted that that would never happen again to make things easier. It was as if all our problems had been dragged up all over again. I still half expect things to magically get better but I know that’s less than likely to happen. “And I feel, tomorrow will be okay But I know..” Even though in my case, this song reminds me of a friendship gone wrong, I think it can mean many things to many different people... (The beauty of a well written song) |
