| Ramones – Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The apparent similarity to how the Nazis wanted to take over the world and how the Ramones wanted to take over the world. I always figured it was about the USA and people treat/ treated Germans, and how Germany now treats Nazis now that that's fallen out of favour... like how in Germany one minute you were supposed to be a Nazi and the next you weren't? Or something :) The version on It's Alive is immense... "I'm a Nazi baby, I'm a nazi, yes I am..." Wouldn't get something like that today anywhere!! And to top it all Joey was Jewish :) |

| Actually, Gordon Ogilvie, according to Jake Burns, simply provided the merest scrap of lyric which got Jake writing and building on it. | |
| Stiff Little Fingers – Wasted Life Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I always thought this was just an anti-war song like Tin Soldier, but now that I think about it it's more like not wanting to be caught up in the whole uvf ira thing. I feel that, I get really pissed off when kids in my class write UVF or IRA all over their books... I mean come on, they're kids, they barely remeber the troubles. I wish they'd get the fuck over it. | |
| Stiff Little Fingers – Alternative Ulster Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Does anyone else find it depressing that this song was written 30 years ago and could have been written today? | |
| Gallows – Staring at the Rude Bois (The Ruts cover) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Actually I think it was very punk of Gallows to collaborate with Lethal Bizzle... hip hop and punk are cousins after all. And since when did every punk band have to follow an exact guideline of you have to play THIS type of music, with THESE instruments, and stray from that and you'll be fucking killed? I actually really like this song :) Not as heavy as some of their other stuff, and I'm definitely no Lethal Bizzle fan, but it's all good all the same. Pretty obviously about the whole situation we got going on in the UK with 15 year olds knifing each other. Oh, and I always figured there was something vaguely relevant in that it's a punk band and a hip hop singer collaborating, when generally those two stay well away from each other. Hope I didn't make that sound too cheesy... |

| Rancid – Sidekick Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Tim Armstrong's fantasy he used to have about he and the X-Men uniting together to get their revenge on Neighbourhood Watch and cops who shut down homeless shelters. Lol. Only Rancid could pull that off. | |
| My Chemical Romance – Mama Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is the only time I have ever been actually terrified during a live gig. The start of it is pretty scary... with all those bombs going off... and the whole feel of the song is pretty creepy too, even more so live than on CD... So when I saw this song live I kind of got really caught up in it and I kinda forgot where I was... And during the bit where Gerard screams 'Mama' over and over there was all this fire... and I swear to God, for a moment I really thought I was dead and in hell or somewhere. Really scary shit. So then we were all screaming... I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life. And it was all because of a stupid song. Lol. |

| My Chemical Romance – Sleep Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think this is where the Patient accepts somewhat that he's going to die and he can't do anything about all the horrible things he's seen and done in his life. 'Cus their aint no way, That im coming back again' That even if he had the chance, there's no way in hell he would come back to life. There seem to be quite a few lyrics in TBP that say something like that, that yeah, death is scary and all, but compared to life...I'd rather stay dead. It's quite interesting... |

| My Chemical Romance – The End. Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| And it's great that those are the very first lines to the album. Kind of blows a few things out of the water. | |
| My Chemical Romance – The End. Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"Now come one come all to this tragic affair Wipe off that makeup- what's in is dispair So throw on that black dress Mix in with the lot You might wake up and notice You're something you're not" I always thought that was like a dig at 'emo' culture, and that you just throw on your black dress/ clothes and just become one of them, and maybe someday you'll wake up and realise you've lost your real self along the way. I also think this applies to a funeral, that everyone's wearing black and forming little cliques... or something. :) Killer song though. |

| Good Charlotte – The Anthem Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
In Kerrang (British magazine) they asked Good Charlotte what the song meant and they said it's all sarcastic. Apparently when they started to make this album the record label were all like "We want another Little Things, that was a big hit! We need a song for the movies! We need another loser anthem!" And GC didn't want to, because they thought it was overdone and that they'd outgrown 'loser anthems'. So they wrote this as sarcasm. They really don't mean a word they say. The lyrics are deliberately crap because they were taking the piss out of it. That's what the line 'another loser anthem' was about. And 'shake it once that's fine, shake it twoce that's okay, shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again' is about one or two loser anthems being okay but after that... you're playing with yourself. Don't think just cause a song's like kinda pop punk you can take it at face value :D |
