| Cockney Rejects – Oi! Oi! Oi! Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Ah, good, the right lyrics! The other posted "Oi Oi Oi" has a few glaring errors: Of course it's the "East End" not the "new stage" that's "all around". And of course you put your "'arries" (Harrington Jacket)on and not "ear-rings" when getting ready to ruck (what plum would wear ear-rings in a scrap if they had the choice?) Perhaps most importantly..."they all come and join the firm"...in the Rejects case West Hams' ICF. Searing punk rock from Custom House!!! Oi! |

On BBC4's "Songwriters Circle" Chrisse Hynde appeared with John Cale and Nick Cave and played this song. Beforehand she explained that it is about a prostitute talking to her only child, who has just found out his Mum is a prostitute. 'Kid' Jensen my arse. |

| Stiff Little Fingers – Fly The Flag Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
By the time SLF released Nobodys Heroes, on which 'Fly The Flag' was first heard, all of the band except Henry Cluney had moved to London. I think the advance from Chrysalis records meant they could afford to leave Ireland and who could blame them with the climate at that time and the fact they were becoming a successful band so open to criticism or worse in their homeland. It's a great song, riddled with sarcastic lyrics attacking British patriotism at a time when the National Front were very strong, continuing in the same vein as 'White Noise' from the first SLF album, and it's not too disimilar to 'Voice of Britain' (which did indeed come out in 1984 and I'd say was Skrewdrivers only great album, notwithstanding the shite polemic on some of the songs...the music is harsh and powerful!) I'd still say 'White Noise' was a more effective critique of nationalist bile though. |

It was a brave song to make in 1978/9...but he thinks with his "pick", as in navvies (navigators) and the stereotypical image of Irishmen as manual labourers. A far better line than 'prick', which could be applied to any race, the 'pick' line builds on the Irish theme. The Pogues song "Navigator" is all about 'em. Great song, great album, great band... |

A sad tale of heroin destroying...and Frankie saying "Not me!" The original "Lorrydriver's Son". |

| Leatherface – New York State Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Classic song...I think Frankies' just bemoaning American acceptance and having a dig at the prevalent underground scene at the time, straight-edgers and skate-punks. | |

| Leatherface – Springtime Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Yep, you're right it's pathetic that no one has posted for 'Springtime', and yep, it is one helluva song. I've seen them live 10 or mores times since 1991 and it still jangles up my back when it starts...but then that's the 'face experience :) Nowt like it. | |

| Manic Street Preachers – Nat West-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds Lyrics | 18 years ago |

To me it's about the power of banks and the value-in-complicity of citizens to the Bilderberger fascists who own them. I'm very curious about the "33 injection" lyric though, is this a reference to the 33 degrees of freemasonry I wonder? Veni, vidi, visa! (We came, we saw, we did a little shopping) :) |
