| Against All Authority – No Reason Lyrics
| 16 years ago

Two things:
First, these lyrics are repeated three times throughout the song, but in a way that the first few times you listen to it you don't remember that it's the same.
Second, if the meaning isn't clear, read it again; it's very straitforward; no metaphor at all in this song. |

Can anybody make out the dialogue in the middle of the song? What about all the bonus stuff at the end on the album Hang-Ups (not sure if they put another version on another album). Can anyone explain the significane of "the metal sign"? |

I don't think that Hedonism is the right term for it. Your saying that he is looking to get the greatest pleasure from the experience, yet the lyrics suggest that he has already reached that level of pleasure and fullfilment. It's more of a blindness for anything that he cannot compare with the love for this woman. |

The lyrics are okay, never really got into the beginning of the song anyway; I'm not a big Ozzy fan. Tony Iommi however; that's where I draw the line. In my opinion one of the greatest guitarists ever. Not to mention that this is on their first album and he was probably still getting used to missing a finger -- and he can put out this! Amazing! The acoustics in the middle of the song, with the fade is especially well done as well. Besides this is a song that has so many different facets - metal, jazz, blues, rock -- utterly amazing. I am not ashamed to say that this is my favorite Black Sabbath song. |

Yes, I agree that it is a good song, but my favorite part has to be the next "act", with the little kid singing The Guns of Brixton. More powerful stuff I think, about how the youth should be educated, unlike how the current generation was, how they left to fight for themselves. Especially one of tne last lines, "That's enough now, I'm tired of signing," how everybody is growing tired of these self same issues. |

Just want to comment on magpi1's comment about Jara's being tortured for signing songs. What the Russian Soviets did to their own people in prison was worse and for as little as having your hands concealed too long. |

I can't believe that there are no comments for this song. It is so catchy! I believe that they are talking mostly about the stupidity in blindly swallowing the government line and how this can endanger the country. |

what the hell? This song is not homosexual at all, but about Mick's nostalgia for the antics of his and Robin's young and teenage years. And for you that don't know, knicking is British slang for stealing. |

I completely agree with Shep420 except for one thing; the way that Joe sings in this song adds to the story, he sounds like a person with information that the police started questioning when they found him drunk or got him drunk for information, but they find him more cryptic than he's worth. |

I think that they are lamenting the way that things have changed over the years. I find it uses a lot of irony and sarcasm, as do most of their songs, and that it is a return to good things of old and shedding the bad things of new. |

Just want to add a comment on the few lines about Ivan the Russian. Since this was written during the cold war they are talking about him being arrested during the red fear years because of his Russian descent and his pssesion of a firearm. What they don't mention that is revealed by Russian authors of that time, such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn with the Gulag Archipelago, is that if he was deported to Russia for that he would have been transported by Black Maria (a prison transport truck basically) and spent years in the gulags, in exile in Siberia, or under Soviet surveillance. Thus we can safely assume the Ivan they are talking about was either executed or imprisoned, possibly for the rest of his life. Good book by the way, though it starts slow. |

Okay, just one note. A lot of people have posted that to them it feels like Macbeth to them. There is no basis for this. The song clearly states that he is serving a master, and while it was originally Lady Macbeth that convinced Macbeth to take Duncan's life, Macbeth took over from there, not caring in the end who lived or died, only killing those who he thinks may take the throne from him. However, Lady Macbeth does feel remorse for Duncan death, the killing haunting her, being the basis for her suicide. Yet this cannot even be from her point of view, as she is neither master nor servant to Macbeth, but grows apart from him. |

Just saying that the line "With trenches full of poets" doesn't specifically relate to Frederico Lorca, as he left Madrid for Granada three days before the Spanish Civil War broke out. Later he was arrested with his brother-in-law, the Socialist mayor of Granada, and both were shot. |

| Diablo Swing Orchestra – Wedding March for a Bullet Lyrics

Their entire album reminded me of a wedding, possibly during the middle ages or the renaissance, arranged of course. This particular song seems to be an allusion the night after the wedding, the wedding bed, supposedly the night that the wife lost her virginity, at least for nobler families. It seems to me that now that they can be intimate, she is seeing him for exactly who he is. |

My fault, behold a sign,
Vile corpse, In the presence of Deo
Saved agreement,
Scheldt skies, glorius fatherland/father, peace and wellbeing/goodness
without care/concern, go with me,
A falling in war, to play/deceive nature
That day, just as moon, votive offering is valor
This is the best I can do. It's not that easy, seeing as it is in Latin, a dead language, and I can't tell which syntax is correct. |
