| Donovan – Mellow Yellow Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I can't believe even one person got the answer to this right, this song is about liver disease, Donovan suffered from it in late 1966 and then released this song in early 1967. "The liver takes the bilirubin out of the blood and puts it into the bile. The bile goes into the intestines and then goes out with the waste from your body. If the liver is hurt, it does not remove the bilirubin, so the bilirubin stays in the body. This makes the person's body look yellow and is known as jaundice." |

| The Smiths – William, It Was Really Nothing Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
When Morrissey wrote this song, he looked around and noticed that all the songs about not getting married were by females, to females, "don't get married, stay single and free, have fun" etc etc, so he wrote this song in order to reverse the role, a man saying to a man, "don't get married", that in fact marriage was "really nothing". "everyone has to live their life, and god knows i've got to live mine, i'm not here to judge you, but why get married? it won't solve anything, yes life has been crap to you, but this isn't the answer, and all you're doing is setting yourself up to be taken advantage of, in the end marriage is really nothing at all" |
