Kinesis – A Generation Devoid Of Inspiration Lyrics	20 years ago
It's about people stuck in the same routine, 9-5, get pissed at weekends, repeat ad infinitum. Bloody great song.

Reuben – Tonight My Wife is Your Wife Lyrics	20 years ago
Yeah :) This was inspired by a part Guy (the bass player) went to. After much drinking, a local businessman offered Guy his wife for the night, so they wrote a song about it. As you do.

Million Dead – Tonight Matthew Lyrics	20 years ago
An interesting point there. Not many people know that Frank (and Ben) went to Eton (!), so maybe this is Frank's way of saying he has a right not to live up to expectations. The line "Tonight Matthew, I will be a debutante" may well be a riposte to those who expected him to do well at Eton (as opposed to forming a kickarse band) :)

I reckon it's about how you don't truly appreciate your teenage years until they've gone, and by then it's too late.

Yourcodenameis:milo – The Dead French Lyrics	20 years ago
From what I've heard, this one's about the French resistance movement in the first world war, and the collapse of the Maginot line (a line of defence that the French built the wrong way prior to being massacred by Nazi forces. Hence the chorus.

Million Dead – Chinua Achebe Will Have His Revenge On EC1 Lyrics	20 years ago
I imagine this song to be comparisong British colonial oppression and the attitudes the British have towards immigrants. FYI Chinua Achebe is an African political writer.

Million Dead – The Rise And Fall Lyrics	20 years ago
Nice idea. My interpretation is of how the Roman Empire grew and eventually collapsed, and is urging our society not to make the same mistakes. See "lets make this stage our rubicon", and the references to Byzantium and Constantinople.
