Billy Bragg – Accident Waiting To Happen Lyrics	17 years ago
It is a great song. It's lyrics remind me of "A New England." I think this song is about Margaret Thatcher; I she was in office till late 1990, which was only a couple of years before this song was released.

Cat Stevens – Moonshadow Lyrics	18 years ago
This song is a lot more than a "glass half full" anthem; it advocates a complete emotional break with material things (including one's health). If one feels no sense of attachment to one's things, than he or she can escape sorrow. This is Buddhism (or Stoicism) in a nutshell.

Billy Bragg – Between The Wars Lyrics	18 years ago
I think boggles is closer to the mark. The Great Depression is somewhat weakened by the fact the Great Britain weathered the Depression relatively well compared to other Western nations.

Rage Against the Machine – Year of tha Boomerang Lyrics	18 years ago
"This European opulence is literally scandolous, for it has been founded on slavery, it has been nourished with the blood of slaves and it comes directly from the soil and the subsoil of the under-developed world." -Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth.

The Clash – Lost in the Supermarket Lyrics

19 years ago

This is a great song, with outstanding lyrics and music to flawlessly complement them. Like all poem, the lyrics of the song operate on many different planes. Yes, this song does speak to the emptiness of suburban life. But, more than anything else, this song is ANTI-COMMERCIALISM. This song, like many more by the Clash and also on London Calling (see Koka Kola), attacks commercialism for not delivering on its promise of offering happiness.

Anti-Flag – Drink Drank Punk Lyrics	19 years ago
Wow, I didn't think the satire in this song was that difficult to discern, but it seems that about half of these posts believe this song encourages drinking. I'm going to go eat some Irish babies now with Jonathan Swift...
