Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's: and when it's all over and you open your eyes you'll see the room turned on its side and you'll be lying by a note on the floor signed, The Royal We |

| The White Stripes – Baby Brother Lyrics | 18 years ago |

errrr... I get so annoyed when people post poor lyrics and never check back and make changes to them. In my opinion, song lyrics on this website should be managed similar to a Wikipedia article, allowing all users to make edits or whatever. I don't know what the best system would really be. But I'm sure you all agree that when people leave comments/corrections about a song’s lyrics, they are rarely applied. |

| Jethro Tull – Rocks On The Road Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think it's a pretty straight-forward song about the “rocks” or “bumps” in the road of life. Anderson addressed the small annoyances and inconveniences to some of life’s harsh realities (like having to pay for all the food you ate, or booze you drank, from that enticing hotel mini-bar!). That’s about it. Song speaks for itself… “Life’s a bitch and all that stuff.” |

Well, so far I seem to be the only Knots and Crosses fan. So, I guess I will comment on the lyrics I posted. I think this is song has kind of a "beauty on the outside but not on the inside" message. The girl they sing about is obviously attractive and eye catching. You've turned some heads Head’s of fools that are better off dead... And I saw you there With your rings and that crap in your hair But she lacks compassion and “inner-beauty” I think: You've broke some hearts With the skill of a snake in the dark... Never lift up your heel From the spines of the wretched that beg for a meal... Eyes of ice and smile of concrete |

| Jethro Tull – This Is Not Love Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
What is more depressing than a seaside resort in wintertime? "Cheap hotel in some seaboard town, closed down for the winter and whispered names" and "Empty drugstore postcards freeze sunburst images of summers gone." Ian applies this image to portray a relation between two people that is coming to its end ("before we learned October's song"). Though the narrator remembers the good times they had together ("Think I see us in these promenade days"), he is aware that nothing can stop their breaking up: "Broken spells and silent gloom ooze from that concrete honeycomb" and the mutual reproaching has started: "And how come you know better than me that this is not love". The last stanza suggests that this couple went back to this seaside town were they had a great time together during the summertime, in the hope to renew their relationship. From the beach they can see their home town, where it all went wrong: "Down to the sad south, smokey plumes mark that real world city home. Broken spells and silent gloom ooze from that concrete honeycomb" - http://www.cupofwonder.com |
