| Bob Marley and the Wailers – I Shot The Sheriff Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I think this song illustrates Bob's perspective on petty government actions and thoughts.
I think he says he shot the sheriff not the deputy - meaning he goes for the big fish in the pond.
"Sheriff Brown" represents corrupt government, the "deputy" represents the government's lack of intelligence, in Bob's POV, so in shooting the sheriff, Bob is going after the whole thing. Not just retaliating like most people would do.
I could be wrong, but this is my interpretation. |

| Black Sabbath – Iron Man Lyrics

This song isn't about the Marvel Iron Man, but a completely different Iron Man that Sabbath made for this song. The song is about a man who travels through time into the future and sees the end of the world. When he goes back in time, he goes through the great magnetic field mentioned in the song, turning him into Iron Man. When he tries to tell the world what will happen, nobody cares because he can't talk. Being so enraged by this, he goes on a killing spree, creating the end of the world that he foresaw. GREAT SONG. |

Classic. It has to do with the Vietnam War, and i think the "trade in your hous for a handful of dimes" refers to prostitution for drugs. |

"Natty Dread" is a great song, possibly my favorite Marley. When he describes going up the streets, he's visiting all the girls he has. He's "getting around the block". |
