Fleetwood Mac – Gypsy Lyrics 17 years ago
this song was written for stevie nicks best friend. she died of leukaemia.

stevie and her best friends husband later married (maybe mourning brought them together) but then realised they had made a mistake and divorced.

this is what the song means:

so i'm back to the velvet underground
back to the floor that i love

(this shows that that the person has passed away- about to be buried or cremated)

to a room with some lace and paper flowers

(describes the room of the funeral service)

back to the gypsy...that i was...to the gypsy...that i was...

(leading to her death she was weakened, but now she is no longer suffering and is back to how she was before she got sick)

CHORUS

(self explanatory)

to the gypsy......
that remains.....
she faces freedom......
with a little fear.....

(afraid of the unknown)

well i have no fear....
i have only love.....
and if i was a child....
and the child was enough.....
enough for me to love....
enough to love......

(again- this shows how she is going back to the time before she was sick. she is no longer suffering (i read this in an interview with stevie nicks) as it makes reference to being young again)

she is dancing away from you now
she was just a wish
she was just....a wish
and her memory is all that is left for you now
you see your gypsy.....
you see your gypsy.....

(self explanatory- she's leaving those who are alive behind)

lightning strikes...
maybe once...maybe twice....
and it all comes down to you
oooooo......oh......well it all comes down to you....
lightning strikes...
maybe once....maybe twice....
oh.............
i still see your bright eyes......bright eyes...
and i've always loved you....
and it all comes down to you
it all comes down to you.....

(this is sort of like an "i miss you")

*i havent seen any comments that mention her friend. i thought more people knew about it. but since i hadnt seen it here i thought i'd write it up.

i had never heard any other meaning to GYPSY than the one i just wrote. but what i've read on other comments is interesting.

INXS – Never Tear Us Apart Lyrics 17 years ago
i love this song. it was released a year after i was born but is my all time favourite song. i have a tattoo that reads "we all have wings". its sort of my life motto. to me it means i can get though it even if at first sight i think i cant. sort of a self affirmation. like i can do it even if you say i shouldnt.

i still remember seeing the funeral on the news when i was a little kid and crying when i saw them carrying the coffin out to this song.

to me the song is about love at first sight.

i absolutely love the lines:
"dont ask me what you know is true"

(im getting teary writing this LOL)

and

"if i hurt you i'l make wine from your tears"

i went to the concert they had last year in sydney with JD fortune. the song was sung so well i got goosebumps. i would have loved to see michael h peform it.

cheers!
xoxo elsa

Coldplay – Viva la Vida Lyrics 17 years ago
its certainly got to do something with religion. but reading all these posts has also given me other ideas.

i also love lovers in japan/ reign of love and 42.

this album is fast becoming my favourite coldplay album since a rush of blood to the head. i cant wait to see these tracks live
