Dave Edmunds – Crawling From the Wreckage Lyrics

9 years ago

The song is non-linear - it's his boring, stultifying life flashing before his eyes as he dies in a car crash. Drunken racists beating up (verbally? or physically?) the guy who runs the Chinese carryout place; drunken "friends" who make fun of him for running away from fights; and it's all going to happen again and again, so he drives drunk and too fast and doesn't see a thing until the crash. I thought the line was "met the dumb suburbos at the takeaway," but "man, the drunks were verbal" is good, too.

Semisonic – Sculpture Garden Lyrics

17 years ago

Great song - the Sculpture Garden is a Minneapolis landmark, a large (about 10-acre?) park outside the Walker Art Center, free to the public for wandering around the sculptures. An early interview with Semisonic quoted Dan Wilson as saying he wanted to record "make-out music for the new millenium," and this appears to be about walking around the Sculpture Garden with your beloved and staying late into the night for just such a purpose...

Procol Harum – Robert's Box Lyrics	17 years ago
Another drug song, from the abuser's point of view. There was apparantly a somewhat famous London doctor who pushed pills to the gentry- the Beatles' "Doctor Robert" is about him.

Procol Harum – She Wandered Through The Garden Fence Lyrics	17 years ago
I think it's about drugs - "a potion guaranteed to bring relief from all your suffering" which only makes our torment worse.
