The Pretenders – Brass In Pocket Lyrics 17 years ago
brass in pocket is a reference to money...i heard her say that on VH1. She also said that IF you were from Detroit you would understand the song.

Devendra Banhart – Santa Maria de Feira Lyrics 18 years ago
Okay so...this song is open to interpretation...BUT it is a love song for his girlfriend BIanca. BIanca is one of the members of the band COCOROSIe.

HOwever, i feel like in this song he is in a dream state wandering through santa maria de la feira, apparently a city in portugal. All he can do is think of her every hour of every day. So he dreams about Bianca (but we don't know this until the end of the song when he mentions that he finally found her)and he can't sleep, and he plays hence the ladidadida...so anyway it's a new day and he is looking for some dude named inaniel, whom he begs and pleads for him to help him (devendra) because he can no longer sleep. He is lost, looking, calling for her, because he loves her. So finally in the valley he finds a hidden river and drowns. He remembers that it was cold but he was warm, he was about to die. BUT FINALLY he finds bianca, his angelic dove.

p.s i love love this song and am extremely jealous of this Bianca character.


oh and indeed it is in a disneyworld commercial.

Devendra Banhart – Quedate Luna Lyrics 18 years ago
actually...he says
"Yo no he tomado
Pero me voy a tomar un traguito ahora
Y se que lo que mas espero
Lo mas que se del amor"

Tres, siete, diez
Ya no me ves
Pero si talvez
Digo tu nombre
Sab(e)ras quien es
Soy el perro a tus pies
Que te muerde la costilla
Y la estrella brilla y la luna se sienta en su silla

ROUGH TRANSLATION:

i haven't drunk
But i'll take a drink now
And I know that the longer i wait
the more i know about love

i'm just going to translate that part because everybody seems to get it wrong. Everything else seems pretty good to me.

i love this song!!!
