| The Chicks – Not Ready To Make Nice Lyrics

Just because she wouldn't make things right even if she could doesn't mean that she's okay with how she was treated. It's the exact opposite. She is trying to show that by saying one simple line, that didn't even threaten Bush or anything, just that she was ashamed that he came from Texas, made people stop buying their records and threaten to kill THEM. They are telling her to "shut up and sing or her life will be over" and if I was her, I wouldn't want to just "make it right" by doing what they tell her either. That's the purpose of the song, to show that she's not just doing what they said and she's not making it right. |

| Great Big Sea – Clearest Indication Lyrics

It's obvious that this song can be interpreted in two ways, but I believe that it is largely about Newfoundland independence. It wouldn't exactly be out of context for Great Big Sea to write about this, and the "like a country divided 51 to 49" line is the most obvious reference to the matter that I can think of. Also, notice in the music video the shirt that Newfoundland actor Allan Hawco is wearing. If that's not a shoutout to the Newfoundlanders, I don't know what is. |
