| Babybird – Bad Old Man Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Per a 2018 Facebook post, the specific person is his manager: BAD OLD MAN This was literally written over night during the making of THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON around 1998. Simple descending notes, with a tyraid about my manager, celebrity and modern life in general. A real deription song of a city fallingh apart under inappropriateness and sleaze. Greatest top 40 achievement slipping this in at No.31. Not many chart songs include the words ‘paedophile’ or ‘drowned his stepson in the duck pond” - Utterly poptastic. |

| I don't think this song needs much of an explanation, it means exactly what it says. | |
| Wolfmother – Joker & The Thief Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Seems to me that the joker and the thief are the same person (eg "the joker is a wanted man"), and what he's stealing is the girl ("wonder what would happen if he took her away"; "We are not goin' home"). Possibly a stalking/kidnapping (eg "Watching out every day"; pretty much the whole chorus), or maybe he just seduces her? | |
