| Cat Stevens – How Can I Tell You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| In light of his later religious reawakening, you can see a lot of the songs from this period as being about love of god, or of a woman. Similar to George Harrison songs of the same period. | |
| Morrissey – Bengali In Platforms Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It's not the "stay away" part that sounds racist, it's the idea of who "belongs here". The whole tone's a bit patriarchal, from the title, to the idea that Morrissey's invited to give advice to a hypothetical foreigner. Whether he's singing in character here or not is not clear at all from the lyrics. Why asume these aren't his own feelings? |

| Wu-Tang Clan – Protect Ya Neck Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I have no idea what you are all talking about. However, I do have an idea that the lyric "Feelin mad hostile, ran the apostle Flowin like Christ when I speaks the gospel" should actually be: "Feelin mad hostile, wearin' Aeropostale Flowin like Christ when I speaks the gospel" Well, if not, what does "ran the apostle" mean? He stole the apostle? |

| Moonseeka, I love your interpretation. | |
| Morrissey – Will Never Marry Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Possibly the singer is a gay man talking to a straight woman who loves him. | |
| Morrissey – Driving Your Girlfriend Home Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It's addressed to the speaker's friend. He finds himself in the ambiguous position of hearing about his friend from his friend's girlfriend. The speaker can't answer because he's in an awkward position, knowing this woman less well than the man she's so frustrated with. As a gay man who avoids close relationships, as Morrissey seems to be, he's an outsider to this sort of relationship drama. All sorts of background suggests itself. Why is he driving someone else's girlfriend home? |
