The Police – Don't Stand So Close To Me Lyrics 17 years ago
I had a thought while reading this, do you think it's possible that the first stanza where it talks about the girl loving him is all in his head. It would certainly add a whole new dynamic to the song, especially in the parts where he tries to ignore her in public, I can just see the confused look on her face as she's standing out in the rain

Primus – Scissor Man (xtc Cover) Lyrics 18 years ago
Actually this is not the composer of the songs idea of Karma, it's actually based on a tale by Heinrich Hoffmann about this man who comes around and cuts off parts of naughty children's body (thumbs specifically) check him out http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/hhoffman.htm . Also please note that this specific story was referenced in the take your daughter to work episode of the American version of the Office

Jimmie's Chicken Shack – Waiting Lyrics 18 years ago
I once heard a rumor that the "cut to a girl lying motionless in the sand" (my favorite line by the way) was a reference to one of Jimmi's girlfriends he found outside his beach house who he found dead, I have no idea the validity of this rumor, however I do like to think about it while listening to the song to give it a little more emotional impact.

Tally Hall – The Bidding Lyrics 18 years ago
ok the scene it sets for you in your mind is that of an auction of men all these women bidding on men, but they don't care about them men that's why the prospects are great but the date's never great, all they care about is getting the man, dosn't matter if he's any good for her, or even the right kind of person for her they just want to snatch them up before someone else gets a chance at them

Tally Hall – Banana Man Lyrics 18 years ago
well I believe the bannana man is someone of authority, eithr a boss, parents, or even god it self. Especialy after reflecting on the portion

forget all your troubles and go with the flow
forget about whatever you may never know
like whether whatever you are doing is whatever you should
and whether anything you do is every really any good
and then forget about banana when it stick in your throat
and when it make you wanna bellow but you stuck in a choke
and you forget about de yellow from de beckoning man
who make you take another one and make a mock of your plan

as I see it they make you take your vacation and make you come back from it

Tally Hall – Be Born Lyrics 18 years ago
very true, I ganed a lot more respect for it once I realized the meaning, however I can't shake the image of the band playing in a hospital room facing a woman in stirrups giving birth, the lead singer singing to her vagina.

Soul Coughing – Misinformed Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this may relate to the intentions of a drug dealer, he may have thought it was all about the money but now realizing it's for other reasons, "to burn the rock star" and the line about the eyes going funny and you can't place why, tipical excuse type thing, "oh well I couldn't understand why he's die after snorting that cocane and arsenic". and I do believe is it something you snort when he repeats over and over on dollar bill one dollar bill as dollar bills are often used to make lines/ snorting surface and to be rolled up into makeshift straws. As far as the bellhop drag, I'm not sure but I'm envisioning a military man as their uniforms can tend to look like that of a bellhops.

Soul Coughing – The Incumbent Lyrics 18 years ago
well I somewhat agree I think he's looking back on the time he's spent in NYC and what it's done to his life. I'm not certian but this may have been where he got on the horse for the first time, so it's possible that's what gave him the "jaw-grind, disposition to a panic attack." and the other portion of the song sounds like the into to a debate, who the incubent is debating is well... debatable though considering his terms in office I believe he could be referancing Mr. Guiliani

Lazlo Bane – Superman Lyrics 19 years ago
Honestly this song reminds me of my Ex-Girlfriendshe was into roleplaying on the internet

"And you've got your love online
And you think you're doing fine
But you're just pluged into the wall"

also she was really into Tarrot and the "fake" wicca

"And that deck of Tarot cards
Won't get you very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall"

and she was never really happy either

"You've crossed the finish line
Won the race but lost your mind
Was it worth it, after all"

ah nostalgia
