The Divine Comedy – Birds Of Paradise Farm Lyrics | 15 years ago |
I think the Leonardo Da Vinci part is a reference to the fact that he feels inadequate; which could be foreshadowing the ending of the song if you assume he doesn't actually set the birds free. |
The Divine Comedy – Birds Of Paradise Farm Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Some of the lyrics are slightly wrong. It should be 'singing gay songs' and 'they called my name and revved the car' Anyway, fantastic song, one of the best of the B sides. I wish Neil would release an album of B sides. |
Yann Tiersen – Les Jours Tristes Lyrics | 15 years ago |
I agree with doublethreat, the song is about overcoming great obstacles and not letting all the crap things in life get the better of you. |
The Divine Comedy – Lost Property Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Neil has this amazing ability to make the most mundane things sound beautiful. Something as simple as losing trivial items becomes moving. |
Morrissey – Satan Rejected My Soul Lyrics | 15 years ago |
If it's the same programme I first heard it on, then it was Vic and Bob's "Catterick". It's a great song, very catchy. |
Air – Somewhere Between Waking and Sleeping Lyrics | 15 years ago |
I don't want to over-simplify the song, but it makes me think of suicide. Neil's voice is utterly gorgeous on this track. |
Duke Special – Ballad Of A Broken Man Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Isn't this one about George Best? |
The Divine Comedy – Songs Of Love Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Apparently instead of "my type hibernate" Neil wrote "my type masturbate" but since the song was associated with Father Ted he had to change it. |
The Divine Comedy – The Frog Princess Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Looking back on a bad relationship and realising the princess was a cow! You don't really love me and baby that it alright 'cause I don't love anybody, *sigh* Neil Hannon = genius |

This is my favourite song of all time, it's so beautiful and romantic and makes you want to dance too. |
The Divine Comedy – Diva Lady Lyrics | 16 years ago |
This one speaks for itself; it's about fame seeking celebs and how vacuous they are. I love the line 'she's got special needs' |
The Divine Comedy – A Lady of a Certain Age Lyrics | 16 years ago |
No comments? I love this song, the lyrics speak for themselves but it paints a really heart breaking picture of an old woman who had it all and lost it. |
The Coral – Careless Hands Lyrics | 16 years ago |
It's about being careful about who to allow into your heart. I wish I listened to this song before falling into that trap! |
