| ABBA – Elaine Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| alexsakura, this song is not THAT obvious. As far as I understand, they sing about pop and rock stars being followed or even pursued by the fans. A star cannot quarrel with his or her spouse and just go out for a walk to come to his or her senses. Because the fans are waiting ready to tear this star to small pieces and keep them as souvenirs... | |
| Gordon Lightfoot – Ballad of Yarmouth Castle Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
SS Yarmouth Castle was an old steamer lost in a disastrous fire in 1965. This song, just like Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, is a moving tribute to those lost in the sea but also the only song I know with the ship being main hero and also the only song treating shipwreck as a death of a ship. Listen to those words: "Now the many years she's been to sea She's seen the better times She gives a groan of protest As they cast away her lines And the grumble of her engines And the rust along her spine Tells the Castle she's too old to be sailin' But the sands run out within her heart A tiny spark glows red It smoulders through the evening There's laughter overhead Now the men are served, and the cards are dealt And the drinks are passed around Deep within the fire starts a-burnin'" and ""Oh Lord," she groans, "I'm burning!" "Let someone understand!" But her silent plea is wasted In the playin' of the band" and especially "Oh the Yarmouth Castle's moanin' She's cryin' like a child. You can hear her if you listen Above the roar so wild Is she cryin' for the ones who lie Within her molten sides? Or cryin' for herself, I'm a-wonderin'" every time I hear 'em they are bringing lump in my throat.......... |

| fabulula, not only Champagne is funny :) Agny also sings "in the end AV eighty-nine" which is ok by me, "av" being Swedish equivalent of "of" | |
