Siouxsie and the Banshees – Israel Lyrics 10 years ago
i think the song is about refugees, people who once fled, raised a state where given broken dreams. ( turned his blood into wine, (old history), but later the (current time) the wine turned bitter in the glass in this new "promised" land.
People are still enslaved by political false dreams.. but there is an old men walking bye, he has no tooth left, there is something still there of freedom most of us dont see. After that it is wondering happy noel.. do people still understand what freedom means.

Israel is a best portrait for this, but there are many places like it, where people flee and try to find something better, and are given "new dreams" to work hard pay rent

Butthole Surfers – John E. Smoke Lyrics 10 years ago
A song about a country western boy, i think some farmer camper having lived to long with his mother, turned into psychopat, and ended up as an inmate.
Some parody on television interviews, who has Johney ?.. Johney was a ...
Parody on western country music as well, its not a feel good song but its a turned bad song, the kid became evil. He became the cancer of his own.
Its not a clear view its full of smoke and an intentionally vague life.

David Bowie – Life on Mars? Lyrics 18 years ago
What this song means to me.
Its about the awakening of a dream into the real world.

The girl went out to see her boyfriend.
But he wasn't there, so she watches the silverscreen.
While she has broke her hart of her dream.

It happened before this god-awful small afair.
In other perspectives it's like in the movies.
The world is full of broken dreams.

Hey what the best selling dream is a NASA show
A miljon dolar spacerace "is there life on mars?".

Then bowy describes some other dreams in the game of life

But it's so sad this lost dream of this girl.
This broken heart


Perhaps not a good translation of it, but it's what it means to me
