| Kate Bush – Never Be Mine Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Have you ever been in a relationship where just before the end you sensed that your partner is going to dump you, but he/she is probably just waiting for the right moment? That's what this song is about. It's sang from retrospective, they have already separated. She loves him but the relationship is spiraling downwards recently. The "thrill and the hurting" is about that strange sensation that your loved one is going to leave you. My favourite metaphor in this song is "They're setting fire to the cornfields As you're taking me home". Farmers burn the cornfields berfore planting seeds of another type. In other words she is feeling that her place will be taken by someone else. A truly sensual and beautiful song! Celtic sounds + Trio Bulgarke makes wonders. Enjoy! |

| Elvis Costello – Oliver's Army Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Why did everybody got stuck with the idea that the Oliver in this song is Oliver Cromwell??? Wrong! You always have to consider the meaning of the politically engaged song within the context of the time when it was made. It's obvious that this is an 80s song about the things going on (not so well) in the British Empire (Maggy Thatcher era). Very much pro Labour if I might observe. A bit antisemithic but you cannot blame paople of one nation being affraid that their culture will dissapear. So who's the OLIVER? It's so easy that there is no doubt.... OLIVER TWIST... and his ARMY of poor beggars. The lyrics' author is trying to comment on the situation in the Empire for which he blames the Conservative Government. If you like this song I recommend: The Smiths: Panic The Style Council: My Ever Changing Moods The Style Council: Shout to the Top The HouseMartins: everything :-) |
