The Kooks – One Last Time Lyrics 16 years ago
It may not have anything to do with this, but the song makes me think of all the relationships when you're a kid that are amazing and new and how it's sad that when you grow up or move away you'll probably never see your first love again and maybe even forget all about them.

Bloc Party – Biko Lyrics 17 years ago
"If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't"
reminds me of heart-shaped box by Nirvana
"I would eat your cancer when you turn black"

Razorlight – America Lyrics 17 years ago
the song's a little annoying, but the guitar's good
I thought the lyrics were stupid but I think that adds to the meaning. It seems to me that when everything on the news is shit and out of your control and there's nothing else to do, you feel kind of lame and you do little dumb things like smoke or walk around just to pass time or distract yourself and nothing seems that great anymore b/c the country's always in trouble in the background.

Babyshambles – Delivery Lyrics 17 years ago
the part about about leaving school seems to be a direct excerpt of "Monday Morning" by Pulp, talking about getting wasted every weekend

The Teenagers – Homecoming Lyrics 17 years ago
but, the protagonist could be someone besides the lead singer considering that he has "funky hair" while the singer doesnt really
so the protagonist could be british, the rest of the band is English

Bloc Party – Where Is Home? Lyrics 17 years ago
the first line
"After the funeral breaking cola nuts
We sit and reminisce about the past"

Is this just me or is it directly from the book "Things Fall apart"

After Obierika's funeral, they break cola nuts and reminisce

The whole book is about the fall of Black society, so that definitely contributes to the song
In the book, the second generation of an lower Niger tribe joins white religion and culture

"Different worlds and different rules
A question of allegiance"

But i might just be conecting something common to something specific


But the other verses refer to a modern setting

Interpol – Evil Lyrics 18 years ago
I luv this song but the similarities to The Stranger are too creepy to ignore

We speaks about travel
Yeah we think about the land
We smart like all peoples
Feeling real tan

In The Stranger, they talk about moving to Paris but they point out how they like tanned skin and everyone in Paris is pale

It's the smiling on the package
It's the faces in the sand
It's the thought that moves you upwards
Embracing me with two hands

Right will take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow release

describes the beach scene in a nutshell


It spent a life span with no cellmate
The long way back
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, semi-erotic
You need someone to take you there

Reminds me of Meursault's feelings of "Whatever, why do you care?" In trial and in love. He doesnt get why his case matters and he thinks his relationship is careless and mainly likes the physical benefits even though hes getting married.

Jamie T – Dry Off Your Cheeks Lyrics 18 years ago
I love this song! one of the best on the album, don't see why it doesn't get more attention, the lyrics are pretty straight forward, a guy who goes to the same club every night to see this girl and tries to win her over by dancing, all there are parts i don't get, so i could be really off

Bloc Party – SRXT Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is one of the best off the album it's so melancholy, and "Whill", also this is the softest song on the album so it is perfect for the outro, also it is when he finally gets to the country after all this bitchin about the city, btw "Holger" i think it's "and i laughed at her, not "loved her"

Bloc Party – Like Eating Glass Lyrics 19 years ago
This is the first BP song I heard and one of their best.
I think it's about a housewife shooting up and thinking about a relationship gone bad.

Bloc Party – American Kids Lyrics 19 years ago
^.....^ I live in Texas but my school is international so I've met plenty of Norwegian, Saudi Arabian, French, Ethiopian and dare I say... Brittish! kids who are just as ignorant and spoilt as the children portrayed in this song... Every nation as their idiots, get over it.

Anyway, this song is simple. He describes the stereo type and "In vogue this year I hate your kind" implies it's in fashion to dislike the US, which is very true.
