| Manic Street Preachers – If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
I took it as being a pro-socialist song. the maniacs grew up during the mining strikes, and I took the line “if you tolerate this, Then your children will be next” to be referring to stagnation of life, and putting up with abuse from the high classes. I found this too, it is about Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia, which he wrote during Spain’s civil war. it refers to the quote about fascists and rabbits: http://www.socialistreview.org.uk/article.php?articlenumber=8855 |

the Holden caufield idea was my exact thought. God it has been a while sense I have read that book. Belle and Seabastain seem to like to write about alienation . |

i have a shirt hat has bob Marley on it and it says "Original Rudeboy"
i love this song, it gives me the false feeling of being socially aware which is all i wanted.
one of my cousins married a man from Kingston, and he always tells me about how ruff that city is. i would love to see a movie about Kingston, that tells it like city of god told the story of Rio. |

| Damian Marley – Road to Zion (feat. Nas) Lyrics

the only John Pope that i know of is a Union general in the Civil war that lost at the second battle of bull run. and i don't see how he was a bad man... he supported freedman's rights not to mention He called for better and more humane treatment of Native Americans during his time spent out west.
Now President Robert Mugabe on the other hand is a killer, his policies have led to economic collapse and massive starvation over the course of the last ten years. But that could be blamed on war and drought.
i really don't get why mas decided to put down John Pope, do i have the wrong John Pope? or should Nas read up before referencing someone in a song? |

Lennon started writing the song while reading the Daily Mail newspaper. Two stories caught his eye; one was about the death of Tara Browne, the heir to the Guinness fortune, and friend of The Beatles, who, on December 18, 1966, drove his Lotus Elan into the back of a parked lorry in Redcliffe Square, South Kensington, London. The other was about a plan to fill 4,000 potholes in the streets of Blackburn, Lancashire. That is what the song is about. |

| Radiohead – El President Lyrics

I agree with the previous post saying that it is a song about west backed coups, all shades of green being camouflage, and what was coming from the skies where military advisers, the fighter jets, and bombs.
Chilean coup of nineteen seventy-three was a western backed way to remove the president Allende, a socialist from office. It began with rebels bombing the presidential offices with British-made Hawk Hunter fighter jets. Soon the presidential offices where besieged, Allende refused to surrender, and addressed the nation for a last time, and killed himself (The junta officially declared that he committed suicide with a machine gun, generally presumed to be the machine gun given to him by Fidel Castro, and an autopsy labeled his death as suicide). Some still insist he was murdered by Pinochet's military forces while defending the palace. Shortly after Army Commander-in-Chief Augusto Pinochet came in to power where he remain until the year nineteen ninety. September eleventh of nineteen hundred and seventy three is considered by many as the day that democracy died in Chile. Nixon and the national security advisor discussed the coup, it point towards US involvement. |

I like how this song makes reference to Howard Hughes, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono. In addition, I read that the crowd’s booing was at some police action in the rear of the crowd. |

I love how he changes morning train to mourning train, very clever.
Mister you can't hurt me now
You've got my girl
I still don't know how
But it don't matter now
No it don't matter now
Sounds like someone left someone for another person, but that other person is a real jerk, I know how it is. |

Sounds to me that a depressed girl offed herself, she obviously was morbid (“So I wondered how she hung around this place”) and it sounds like she jumped of a bridge to end it. |

yeah, like the band pavement, people told me I might like them because I like Radiohead and bands of the liking but no. I hate pavement, the song Stereo pisses me off. They sound like one of those bands from the late 90s, a band like bare naked ladies or smash mouth. It is sick. I hate them; they belong on kid’s bop five or something.
I cant see how anyone could say, “hey you like Radiohead, I am sure you will like pavement.” |

I love this song because of its placement in the Vanilla Sky (my favorite film of all time) soundtrack; it is so Zen and claiming. The lyrics are like chants to me and I can not get over it. I was watching the film last weekend at my brother’s house with a 700-watt surround sound system at me disposal. The roof top scene comes on, the one with David, Brian, Sofia, Life Extension technical support person, Dr. Curtis McCabe, Njosnavelin starts playing and I just cranked and cant get over the song’s brilliance, the brilliance of that film and its soundtrack. it still gives me chills when I hear it. |

I know Trent Reznor stated With Teeth is not a concept album. I believe this track, along with the rest of the album has to do with solipsism. The philosophy that everything in imagined, you have created everything inside of your head, the universe is a product of your imagination. I began to think that that was the meaning after hearing “all the love in the world” but I did not fully believe it until I heard the last track. |
