Jars of Clay – Liquid Lyrics 10 years ago
I really like the sound of this song even though the overall meaning of the lyrics don't do much for me.

Gentle Giant – Memories Of Old Days Lyrics 10 years ago
I always thought this was one of their best songs. Where so many of their songs seem emotionally flat, this one is delivered with a lot of emotion and sorrow. Such excitement of the reunion with the past and such deep disappointment at the change, made even sadder by reflecting on his now empty anticipation.

Dionne Warwick – Walk On By Lyrics 14 years ago
The lyrics show an incorrect credit. This is not the song "Walk On By" written by Kendall Hayes. This song was written by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics).

Burt Bacharach – Alfie Lyrics 15 years ago
tsreyb... I, too, feel it's a strange wording but I came up with this:

To "lend" is an expectation that the same thing (or an equivalent) will be returned. This relates to The Golden Rule where our (presumably kind) actions toward others are similarly returned.

So, I'd say the speaker in the song is asking Alfie why "the strong" would help the weak if there is nothing valuable the weak can provide in return.

Burt Bacharach – A House Is Not A Home Lyrics 15 years ago
I've often wondered about the bridge verse:
"Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends it ends in tears"

Does this mean they repeatedly get together again for a bit but inevitably break up? Or is this just imaginary (making it all the more pathetic and sad)?

Ween – Fluffy Lyrics 16 years ago
The tone of this song would lead you to think that something tragic was going to happen to Fluffy at the end, but they just end up on the porch.

Dar Williams – The Babysitter's Here Lyrics 17 years ago
Dar brings a lot of humor to this live with her expression and childlike affectation.

"I can't wait to give her the card.
I can't wait to give her the card."
