Thrice – Red Sky Lyrics 18 years ago
Sailors use to have a saying, "Red at night, sailors deilight. Red in the morning, sailors take warning." If the sky was red at night the weather would be good the next day, but if red in the morning, it would be bad...hence the person singing the song knowing their ship is going to sink.

New Radicals – Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too Lyrics 19 years ago
I think it is important that the lyrics are different in the song than what is in the book...because you expect the lyrics to be the same. It is supposed to provoke thought...you expect the lyrics to match up...you assume. Plus the real ones are so hard to understand, like he is underwater or something. It makes you really listen.

Bush – Swim Lyrics 19 years ago
I just think it means being so sexually attracted to someone that it scares the guy. He comes to visit her with "helmet on" or thinking he won't succumb to lust, but she just takes him anyway. Definitely one of my favorite songs. The best line is "shackles and chains won't keep me away"...mmmmm.

Bush – Monkey Lyrics 19 years ago
Kinda sounds like brainwashing to me...which would make sense with the cult thing ashley007. Everyone just wants stuff and doesn't use their "gravy brains" to be something better. Sucker monkey on a drip sounds like being a drugged up (or comercially conditioned) idiot.

Bush – Body Lyrics 19 years ago
This is one of the most sexual songs ever! I think High Way was closest on this one. Almost 90% of this song could be seen as an allusion to oral sex. I dunno, maybe I just have a dirty mind...but "will you come again"? ;-)

Bush – Comedown Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this song is about a breakup, but I totally see how the drug thing works and don't think anyone is a moron for thinking so.

"all police are paranoid
so am i-so's the future
so are you-be a creature"

What does that part mean if it doesn't refer to drugs?

Anyway, I still think it is a breakup song, and not wanting to come back down from the cloud means finally understanding why the relationship went the way it did and feeling free of questioning everything. Haven't you ever analyzed a relationship to death hoping to find an answer?

Bush – Out of This World Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this song is about a very destructive relationship, and the realization that it is "killing" the couple. The first verse "When we die...out of this time" is someone explaining the idea of "the end" or death.

The middle part of the song describes the relationship.

The end is the speaker affirming that he is not dead, he is alive. It goes with the first verse. He sees and understands the situation, and has realized it is like death (as described in the first verse.)

Also, if you watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, they use this song perfectly in season 6.

Bush – Cold Contagious Lyrics 19 years ago
A lot of you have said this but in many many more words, so to make it simple, I think it is about someone who was in a relationship with someone "cold" and now that they have split up they have turned "cold" as well. Hence the contagious part.

"Reality day trips" and "paint your perfect day" refer to the fantasy the other person lived in. They didn't give to the relationship. If the song is about betrayl then they are dating someone else but the speaker thinks they will now get theirs karmically and be hurt.

Bush – Wild Horses Lyrics 19 years ago
They covered it on Jay Leno, it is amazing and I do think it is better than the original because it has more emotion. (::hides from the lightning::)

Bush – Mouth Lyrics 19 years ago
Eek there is no edit post on this thing.

Anyway I am dumb. I just watched the video...it's werewolves not vampires "your silver grin"...silver kills werewolves. I dunno, great, very hypnotic song.

Bush – Mouth Lyrics 19 years ago
Totally with Abiku! For me this song always had a kind of vampiric undertone to it. "Nothing hurts like your mouth". Not just words or insults, but fangs.

Also, the peeling furniture day (or feeling, either way) to me sounds like having sex all day. It's a day to feel (or have some rough sex and "peel") the furniture.
