Lupe Fiasco – Superstar Lyrics 18 years ago
The way he sings the third verse is amazing. I never knew anything about Lupe Fiasco until I heard this recently. Most excellent.

The Police – Spirits In The Material World Lyrics 18 years ago
The lyrics are trivial. What makes this song is every aspect of it's beat, particularly the bass riff. It's truly amazing.

David Banner – Play Lyrics 19 years ago
This is, by textbook definitions, one of the worst songs ever made. It's so trashy, corny, and overly ridiculous explicit ... and just horny.

Yet, every three months or so I have to listen to it.

Queen – Killer Queen Lyrics 19 years ago
I'm pretty sure this song is about a very high class woman, not necessarily a hooker, prostitute etc but one that is probably single and gets around. Obviously a very seductive type - guys should know the type - you know, the chick you see every so often, just look at her and go WOW! Hence all the explosive, energetic words :)

Instead of a hooker I would say she's probably more like a conceited pimpette. Well, she's "extraordinarily nice!" ... conceited isn't the right word, how about posh? The first part is the tricky part of the song. I understand a few of the references, but I'm getting that the jist is just details that support the notion that this woman is on top.

She's just the chick that everyone digs :)

Depeche Mode – Enjoy The Silence Lyrics 19 years ago
It's ironic that this is a song with music about enjoying the silence. Basically DM is dictating to us to enjoy the silence. Strange :)

It's really a great song, very sweet and meaningful. Of course it means that silence is very important in some sort of connection between two.

Recall the famous scene in Pulp Fiction where Uma Thurman notes how silence is important as it is a deviation from the monotone bullshit we yak about. And I'm almost positive she said "bullshit" and "yak" verbatim.

Falco – Rock Me Amadeus Lyrics 19 years ago
Here's a link to the video:

That's crazy stuff :) Amadeus was such a badass :) I honestly think that's his point. Also, it's funny that Tech N9ne, a rapper, remixed this wonderful beat into his song "I'm A Playa" :D

Falco – Rock Me Amadeus Lyrics 19 years ago
English "version" i found on some site:

He was the first punk ever to set foot on this earth.
He was a genius from the day of his birth.
He could play the piano like a ring and a bell
And ev'rybody screamed:
Come on, rock me Amadeus.
He was a superstar, he was dynamite and whatever he did (it)
Seemed to be alright.
And he drank (and) he cursed and he fooled around
But when the women would shout:
Rock me Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.
With a bottle of wine in one hand and a woman in the other
'Cause he was a ladies man
He never stopped to worry what the next day would bring
Because the girls would sing:
Rock me Amadeus,
etc...
His mind was on rock and roll and having fun
Because he lived so fast he had to die so young.
But he made his mark in history.
Still ev'rybody says:
Rock me Amadeus

Thomas Dolby – She Blinded Me With Science Lyrics 19 years ago
CuteSparnkina, it would appear that way. The first 12 times you listen to it, that's just what it says.

I am being completely serious - I have come to realize this song is about infatuation, uncontrollable desire and rape. 'science' is a parallel to 'pepper spray' and 'technology' is a parallel to a "baseball bat" or something to that effect.

I think these lyrics have several mistakes in them, but regardless, "smelling" of chemicals is an obvious reference. So yes, while he has an absurd infatuation with his "lab assistant" or whatever you'd like to call her, the song takes it a step further by subtly implying that his actions towards her were met with ferocity and he is dillusional.

Tears for Fears – Everybody Wants to Rule the World Lyrics 19 years ago
Welcome to your life
--- Welcome to the real world. It's already mapped out for you. Destiny.
There's no turning back
-- Time has one direction, forward.
Even while we sleep
-- Time has one direction, forward.
We will find you acting on your best behavior
--- do as you're told
Turn your back on Mother Nature
---forget any values, just follow along
Everybody wants to rule the world.
---everyone strives to be on top

Journey – Don't Stop Believin' Lyrics 20 years ago
The best part of this song is the piano in the intro. As soon as you hear that, you just want to start crying because you're so happy.

It's quite a unique song in terms of structure. As someone else said, it just increases and increases. It doesn't have the same repetitive style that most other music has.

The song is really all about one of humankind's social peculiarities - being shy and social at the same time. People crave social interaction, but just look at people on a busy street downtown on a friday night - see how many people there are passing by others without saying or doing anything. Yet, it's that deep desire to socialize that keeps us moving. Don't stop believin', streetlight people!

Visage – Fade To Grey Lyrics 20 years ago
An amazing song, but the lyrics here are way off. These are compliments of 80's Music Lyrics:

Devenions gris

One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide We fade to grey (fade to grey)
We fade to grey (fade to grey)

Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise à ses côtés
Deux yeux fixes et froids
Montrent de la peur lorsqu'il se tourne pour se cacher

Sens la pluie comme un été anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derrière un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fût si longue

Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back drop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long

We fade to grey (fade to grey)
We fade to grey (fade to grey)

The French sections make a lot more sense with these lyrics.
