| Don Henley – All She Wants To Do Is Dance Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I agree with PanteroBlanco. "She" is America. There is all of the chaos/violence/political strife going on, and all she/America wants to do is dance/party. It reminds me of the Janis Joplin song, Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz. My friends all drive Porsches and I must make amends. | |
| Peter Gabriel – Mercy Street Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is about finding/dreaming of relief from suffering-mercy. Mercy, according to this song is suicide or finding daddy's arms/mercy street. She is looking for mercy, but doesn't find it. Not in an institution-corridors, in the normal life of the suburbs, or in life/the day. There is some relief in writing-words, but she wants to die/take the boat out. Her father says wait until it's time, but still she dreams/looks for an end to her suffering. At the song's end, she is dead, with her father/God, riding the water/land of dreams/the source of life. |
