| The Waifs – London Still Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I've already given my thoughts on this song but I need to update. I can imagine exactly how sarahfay would have felt while in the UK. I'm currently living in France and it's true- I often think of home and hope that nothing's changed! Donna was so clever with this song. I love it and all The Waifs' songs, actually lots of Australian music- best ever. Oh I love you Australia! | |

This is one of the easiest songs ever to play on guitar. I love the Waifs' simplicity, and this song is a prime example. I think that the song is about a woman try to show to her boyfriend (ex boyfriend) that there's actually more to her than what appears physically. The lyrics suggest that she can identify her own physical imperfections, see verses 2 and 3, but that she is tired with trying to be something that she's not for his favour. There are indications that she was completely and utterly in love with this man and was perhaps blinded by her love, for example "'Cause I'm glad I found out what you're all about When I finally fell down off my cloud". but she seems relieved to find out the truth. Pretty good song. Also there is the refernce to influential writer Jack Kerouac! |

This song has my favourite lyric line of all songs; "...if I ever come home and I, I think I will, I hope you're gonna want to hang at my place on Sundays still. Oh yeah I hope you will". I love this because I think that the song is about the longing to return to a small home town. It reminds me of my own home town and lazy Sundays hanging out with friends. Apart from that I love this song as it seems to be one of the top Waifs songs that evokes a lot of emotion at their gigs. Which may be because it's one of their more popular ones. I agree with Heliamaphora and wish that Gillian (live version ;) ) was on here. Definitely in my top 5 Waifs songs. |
