Its "Palm to Palm and Cheek to Cheek" not "Pound for Pound"

Awesome song

The Smiths – Handsome Devil Lyrics 17 years ago
I dont belive this song is about child abuse, though it could well be about losing virginity.

I think the confusion between both male and female subjects refers directly to the often confused state of mind of teenagers who feel pressured into perfoming sexually.

Morrisey's voice really drives the song to give it a vicious vibe which suggests a ravenous wanting for intercourse on both parts.

However, most of The Smiths songs are non-sensical and it is possible to derive any meaning from any poetically inferable score.

The Maccabees – All In Your Rows Lyrics 17 years ago
this song outlines the political message which every band should have

The maccabees are very liberal in their political views and they believe everyone should like by there own book of rules "You learn right from wrong
Then you write the book yourself
Right the wrongs you know"

not enough bands with a real political message these days

the Maccabees are my favourite and i'm seeing them on the 7th :)

The Maccabees – Good Old Bill Lyrics 17 years ago
it can only be about a train driver due to the line "I've lost all the coals" which is repeated twice in the final verse

The narrator is searching for the coals in frantic hope of starting a steam engine or otherwise metaphorically reviving Bill, the subject

perhaps he belives getting the steam engine running will revive his grandfather?

The coals suggest to me he could not have been a pilot as planes do not run on coal.

Powerful song with powerful lyrics
