The Libertines – The Delaney Lyrics 15 years ago
I think it's quite obvious what the gist of the song is. It's mainly about freedom, but the whole 'can you play guitar?' and 'maybe, I just don't care' seems to me to be about how the Libertines were criticised for being bad at their instruments and Pete just saying he doesn't care they're free to play with passion even if they can't do it that well. It's meaning is quite punk and the 3 chord chorus and messy guitars are quite punk as well.

Television – Venus de Milo Lyrics 16 years ago
Am I the only person who thinks this is a love song? I've never really thought about the venus de milo reference but the way he describes shakey and his hands like gloves. He seems to be describing some incredible feeling and the fact that he says it's like a new drug means surely it isn't about drugs. What he's describing to me perfectly describes the feeling of first realising you love someone and how amazing it feels. Even if that's not what it means it will always mean that to me.

The Cribs – Victim of Mass Production Lyrics 16 years ago
'The first time that I met my mate
Was in a building that houses the things I hate
But she seemed to feel the things I feel
She is the object of my affection'

I think this might be about how Ryan loves Kate Nash despite the fact she's a mainstream pop artist. Great song.

U2 – Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own Lyrics 17 years ago
Where it says 'Can you hear me when I sing?
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me' is amazing. One of the most powerful things i've ever heard, musically and lyrically. Truely breathtaking.
