| Hole – Gutless Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Seems to me that the first verse is about a woman who is totally alone in the world because she has no spine, and the second verse is the narrator describing herself, a brave, unstoppable individual. The first verse -- "All my friends are embryonic/All my friends are microscopic..." seem to point that this woman's only friends are, oddly enough, bacteria and viruses, since those are the only things that are unavoidable, and herself -- "All my friends wake up alone." Her own fears of standing alone as an independent woman -- "girl germs" -- stop her from asserting her own identity. She instead chooses to submit to men -- "Sleep with me, wake up alive." |

| Sex Pistols – God Save the Queen Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This is a great protest song, though long on hatred and short on rhetoric. Nevertheless, it flies in the face of the status quo, grabbing England by the scruff of its neck and demanding: wake the fuck up! You are being taken advantage of! It is definitely a rallying cry for revolt that transcends just the English government. | |
