| The Who – Won't Get Fooled Again Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think the line is "And the parting on the left is now a parting on the right", rather than "And the parting on the left are now parting on the right". I'm pretty sure it's referring to men's hairstyles -- men who have a respectable position in society (businessmen, politicians, etc.) usually wear their hair with a side parting, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right. I think the line is making the point (in line with the rest of the song) that it's essentially the same men, just with a slightly different appearance (especially as it's followed by the line "And the beards have all grown longer overnight"). Also, I think Americans usually say a "part", but in England, we call it a "parting". Whatever, it's a great song! |

Love this song. Also, I think the line is "Like a lover, they both meet" (meaning the white and the black on the bird come together like a pair of lovers), rather than "Like to laugh where they both meet". |

Danom8, surely you jest? Do you have any idea about the Holocaust? The torturing, the grotesque medical experiments, the gleeful cruelty? The horrors that Roma, Jews, and all the other groups that were considered “life unworthy of life” is far worse than ANY divorce. http://holocaust.hklaw.com/essays/1999/998.htm I suggest you read that link, and see for yourself some of the horrors described there. Maybe then you will grow up and see that one divorce is nowhere near comparable to the horrors of the Holocaust. |

| KT Tunstall – Funnyman Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Easily the best track on the album – possibly Tunstall’s best ever. Yes, liliroze above me is correct, this song is about Gordon Anderson. He was diagnosed with Schizophrenia (despite the fact that he seemed to show the classic signs of this disease, he believes he was demonically possessed – and I suppose you never know), and the song focuses on his torment. They did indeed live together while he was suffering with this, and when he went into hospital, she visited him “pretty much every day” (to slightly misquote Tunstall). I cried more at this song than any other I’ve ever heard in my life. The idea of watching your friend lose their mind – or lose control of their mind – is a pretty harrowing one. As for the lyrics, I agree completely R Bar-nez; also, the chorus sounds to me more like “Funnyman, got a plan to be something wonderful”, but as the lyrics have not been officially submitted anywhere, I could easily be wrong. Oh, and the line “Do you remember that night” is “Do you remember the night” (rather than “that”), I believe. |

Okay, calm down everyone. I'm not a fan of Hilary Duff and this is the only song I've ever heard (because it was used in a YouTube video I was just watching), and I admit it's far from great. But Hilary Duff seems like a nice girl! She was really nice when she was on Punk'd. And anyway, she's WAY better than Lindsey Lohan! |

| José González – Deadweight on Velveteen Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I always assumed that this was a song about a relationship that was okay in every aspect, except the bedroom. “Deadweight on velveteen” – they’re just deadweights on velveteen sheets. They can’t perform for each other. ”It's retained emptiness” – their sex life is empty. "It's not what it seems" – they seem to have a “perfect” relationship, but they don’t. “Uncover the mystery” – the start of them trying to figure out what’s wrong between them. ”Tell everyone what you see” – But when the couple try to discuss it with anyone else, it's vulgar ("Vulgar, when brought to light"). "Betray the image" – through their “lack of action” (as it were), they’re betraying the image of the perfect relationship they project to everyone else. “There’s nothing between the sheets”– neither can carry out the traditional tasks expected of a man and woman. Thus, they are deadweights. “Vulgar, when brought to light” – they can’t discuss it with their friends, and can no longer discuss it with each other. “Vulgar, the lie” – but, just as vulgar, is the pretence that everything’s okay with them. Anyway, that’s just what I assumed. |
