| Faith No More – Everything's Ruined Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
We were so happy Things worked out better than we had planned Capital from boy, woman and man We were like ink and paper Numbers on a calculator Knew arithmetic so well Working overtime completed what was assigned We had to multiply ourselves A bouncing little baby A shiny copper penny - - beginnings of a country's economic growth, when everyone believed in a lot of hard work and didn't have much, but believed in a better, prosperous tomorrow And he spent himself Would not listen to us But when he lost his appetite He lost his weight in friends -- hyperinflation - might mean that the "baby penny" loses its "friends" when its purchasing power drops, aka when it gets spent sooner than people felt it should? Baby became a fat nickel so fast Then came puberty Exponentially Soon our boy became a million -- financial bubble. So simple and very nicely put in lyrics, brilliant. People loved him so And helped him to grow Everyone knew the thing that was best Of course, he must invest -- growth of the bubble. Everyone knows they must hop on the wagon and invest; they therefore only help the currency (their boy) and the bubble to grow. A penny won't do, no [x 4] But he made us proud He made us rich And how were we to know He's counterfeit -- it's all a fake, all blown up out of proportions, to say he's counterfeit is an exaggeration, but people exaggerate when they are disappointed beyond desperation. Now everything's ruined, yeah [x 8] -- lost jobs, homes, cars... yeah, financial bubbles ruin stuff for a loooot of people. |

| Calexico – Alone Again Or Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This is by a guy who's in love with a woman and, although she doesn't really feel the same about him and therefore neglects him, can't give up on her. Somebody told him "that he could be in love with almost everyone", but he thinks that's silly and so that "people are the greatest fun". | |

(Please) I beg you for my life, (for true love waits) You see, I must survive (Good nite, sleep well) (I've got work to do) I'll probably kill you in the morning But for tonight (please) I beg you for my life (For true love waits) You see, I must survive (Good night, sleep well) (I've got work to do) I'll probably kill you in the morning But for tonight (as you wish) Hearts and candy glitter and gold is what I'm dreaming of (As you wish) Reese's peanut butter cup is what I'm waiting for (As you wish) Certainly upon my return my love won't be ignored (Please) I beg you for my life, (For true love waits) You see, I must survive (Good nite, sleep well) (I've got work to do) I'll probably kill you in the morning If only for tonight (Please) I beg you for my life, (For true love waits) You see, I must survive (Good nite, sleep well) (I've got work to do) I'll kill you in the morning But for tonight (To the pain) First I'll cut your feet off and then the hands on both your arms (To the pain) Next you'll lose your eyes and nose, everything, it has to go (To the pain) Except your ears, you wanna hear people scream "Dear God what is that thing?" (Please) I beg you for my life, (For true love waits) You see, I must survive (Good nite, sleep well) (I've got work to do) I'll probably kill you in the morning If only for tonight (Please) I beg you for my life, (For true love waits) You see, I must survive (Good nite, sleep well) (I've got work to do) I'll probably kill you in the morning (But for tonight...) |

| Wolf Parade – This Heart's on Fire Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Yes it's about his mother who died. Listen up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWR8bTp-UV8 It's obviously not "I am my mother's hen", it's: "I kissed my mother's hand and left the body in the bed all day We don't know what to do..." :( You got some other parts of the lyrics wrong but I can't get them right either, so let's leave it as it is. I'd appreciate if someone'd change the upper verse, though. |

| Wolf Parade – Killing Armies Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I got a party started up I let my hair down I heard she’s ready to start to leave I heard you’re coming home I won’t believe what they say I’m not too good for you I’m going to leave for just today I’ve nothing else to do You’ve got your hair down I heard that you can kill things You’ve got your hair down I heard that you can kill things You’ve got your hair down I heard that you can kill things You’ve got your hair down… I heard you’re killing armies now… So Don’t let your head get too big Don’t let your party go I’m really not going to bed today. I’ve nothing else to do But no one said I can’t put up a fight That’s why she’s breathing like I’m holding a light Well I never asked for something from you I got the party ‘PARTY!’ papers and the candles are ready to light But no one said I can’t put up a fight That’s why she’s breathing like I’m holding a light Well I never wanted any but answers You know you’ve owed me for a thousand nights You’re holding out, when holding out When holding out, when holding out I got a party started up I let my hair down I heard she’s ready to start to leave I heard you’re coming home So come home… You’ve got your hair down I heard that you can kill things You’ve got your hair down I heard that you can kill things You’ve got your hair down I heard that you can kill things You’ve got your hair down… |

| Seabound – Torn Lyrics | 18 years ago |

If you've seen the video you'll guess it's about a man who doesn't feel anymore, or who feels alienated and depressed, so attempts a suicide, but "wakes up" in the middle of it ("from the sea of red he's torn") and lives on. My 50 cents. |

| Wolf Parade – You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Perhaps he's reffering to a family member (but not his father) - it might be his mother - she left him and his father when he was a boy and now he'll "draw three figures on her heart" - she'll feel guilty for leaving... or something like that. ??? | |
