| Kate Miller-Heidke – Caught In The Crowd Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The strange thing is that I know of two schools Kate Miller-Heidke attended in highschool and they were both all girl schools. She went to my school several years before I was there and all my teachers said she was very smart and talented but was quiet and kept to herself. This doesn't fit with the popularity theory... | |
| Tame Impala – Half Full Glass of Wine Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Such a hot song, has a real 60s/70s laid back sexy rock edge to it. | |
| Birds of Tokyo – Silhouettic Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I took a similar spin on it but though it might be porn, as in when the "red light" the recording light was on, they were just doing their job - it wasn't them... maybe? | |
| Kings of Leon – Molly's Chambers Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's actually "You'll plead, you'll get down on your knees for just another taste" Not 'please'. | |
| Kings of Leon – Crawl Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"You rat, now fly, your searchin' for an alibi, as we await the wrath..." Pretty sure the next line goes "Then afterwards a Sunday Mass" |

| Kate Miller-Heidke – Space They Cannot Touch Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I am in love. I find myself in the middle of the night staring at you as the moonlight shines on your chest as it rises and falls with your breathing. I can't help but smile because I realise how perfect you are and how you make the life I live perfect too. I wake up with the sun warming my face. The day is beginning, but this moment, right now - this is you and me. The day will start, you and I will have to join in, but right now, this is you and me. I hope you love me as much as I love you. |

| Bloc Party – Where Is Home? Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Actually the song was written after the highly publiscised a stabbing of a British Nigerian kid who was family friends with Kele. (Kele is a second generation Nigerian who grew up in Britain) It's about the racism that Kele and others have experienced throughout their lives. As a second-generation Nigerian he neither belongs here nor there, "This is not home for us." Ironic, no? That when there is an incident with anyone who isn't caucasian there is an automatic reference to their ethnicity in the papers. It's always an African-American or a man of Middle Eastern appearance. |

| Bloc Party – I Still Remember Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This didn't happen to Kele, he said it wasn't autobiographical as such, but rather touched on themes and ideas that he had experienced when he was older. Those being that straight men can and do feel an attraction towards each other at time but it's considered to be an unspeakable attraction. Whereas for women it's over considered a healthy exploration of their sexuality. | |
| Bloc Party – Hunting for Witches Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Oh you're all crazy :p I know some of their lyrics are hard to understand because of Kele's intonation and emphasis. But come on... "Watch TV with a formed meal" and "I'm going to Rome" ??? No, no, no. It's "I watch TV, it informed me" and "Heads are going to roll" People are so silly. Clearly this is about Iraq and the war. Referring to the Middle Ages when out of fear innocents were persecuted and put to death as 'witches' much today like the war in Iraq, everyone is scared so we go looking for a scapegoat. I think the lines "Desperate and misinformed Fear will keep us all in place " are a perfect representation of what's going on in our world today. No one truly knows what's going on and we blindly accept what our governments tell us (Weapons of Mass Destruction that were NEVER there) and have fear instilled in us by our media. |

| Regina Spektor – On the Radio Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is the song that got me hooked on Regina Spektor. How much do I love the clapping... and the film clip!!! Oh my. Everyone is talking about the lines: this is how it works you peer inside yourself you take the things you like and try to love the things you took and then you take that love you made and stick it into some-- someone else's heart pumping someone else's blood I think it's talking about how you have to be able to love yourself before you can love anyone and anyone can love you. You need to be able to vlaue things about yourself in order for other people to do the same. I think it just explains the whole 'love' thing beautifully. She's so talented. |

| Josh Pyke – Middle of the Hill Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It seems definitely to be a child-like view of his childhood, but then moves on to more complex ideas like - 'you can never really see the top from the bottom'. So possibly there is an underlying transition shown through the lyrics. I think if this is infact a true biography that it emphasises his creative nature... 'the noises that the trains made sounded like people in my head' and 'the stories that the ceiling told Through the pictures and the grains in the pine-wood boards' There's a very clever use of lyrics, rather than words that just fit the music, these lryics really tell a story, the story of his childhood. |

| The Perishers – Going Out Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think it's about a relationship with a girl that he wants, but knows will never happen. So he replaces her with others. He knows thinking about the girl he can't have is a waste of time and driving him crazy... but he can't stop. | |
| The Perishers – Weekends Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I saw an interview with The Perishers, and in it Ola said that he used to work an 8 - 5 job and that the whole week all he could wait for was the weekend. He talks about how people who work 8 - 5 jobs are the true heroes, trudging through tedious and monotonous work.... just a thought. It's a good song, very deep, and touching, but i guess all their songs are. | |
