| The Smiths – Reel Around the Fountain Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Well it's certainly about a relationship with another man - 'two lumps please' - a pun on making a cup of tea; 'you can pin and mount me'; 'reel around the fountain'. Is '15 minutes...' a reference to Warhol? I think the suggestions above about it being the time it takes to have sex are probably more accurate. Perhaps the person he's talking about was someone who was briefly famous. |

| Primal Scream – Movin' On Up Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Though intentionally ambiguous, the song's generally perceived to be about moving up on drugs. The refences to hymns examine drug taking as a religeous experience. The whole of Screamadelica is pretty much a drug trip in motion - Movin On Up - Higher Than The Sun - I'm Comin Down. You get the idea. |
