| Talking Heads – The Girls Want To Be With The Girls Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this song is pretty funny actually. I get the impression he's saying that the girls actually care about meaningful relationships and the guys just wanna get laid. Killer song. |

| Talking Heads – Found a Job Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is a great song, but it's really hard to figure out what it means. The television and business of inventing situations with the help of their family may just be a metaphor for not taking your life so seriously, learning not to sweat the small stuff, and realizing that in reality it's all a big show, so you might as well enjoy it a little. |

| Blur – Tracy Jacks Lyrics | 18 years ago |

A lot of the interpretations of the song have been kind of negative (i.e. he's having a breakdown), and I think they're all valid really, but I choose to look at it positively. I usually think of "Tracy Jacks" as being an uplifting song about a bloke who got tired of life as it was and decided to break free by totally letting go (getting naked and bulldozing his house). Him bulldozing his own house and saying "I'd love to stay here and be normal/But it was always overrated" is a declaration - he's starting over, and sometimes destruction is needed for a new start. |

| Cake – Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
wilsomnia misses the point. It's not about Cake being hypocrites. I'd argue that they're not, in large part because: 1. They're not even remotely a part of the kind of tattoo-leather jacket-scene they seem to be alluding to. 2. They've had *modest* commercial success at best. I've never seen Cake sign an endorsement deal with Pepsi. 3. They're not complaining about how they're paid. They're complaining about how music has degenerated from being about the music itself to being about the image, and an especially consumption-based one at that. All they're saying through their criticism is: listen to the music if you want to, but don't let yourself fall into the trap of being a part of a scene to the point that you care more about the peripheral crap and your status more than the music itself. |
