| Rainmakers – Downstream Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The name says it all. "Downstream" means going with the flow, doing what is easiest, if not necessarily the best or right thing. Harry Truman detonated the nukes over Japan because it was the quickest, easiest way to win the war and minimize AMerican casualties. His comment, "..mind your own business." indicates that he knew he was commiting genocide, but he felt it the best way to conserve American forces. "Lightning rod for a white guitar".. No idea. Can someone enlighten me as to that one? |

| Head East – If You Knew Me Better Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song so rocked. I was in Jr HS when it came out, and it perfectly summed up 'teen angst'. Also, I have never seen this line transcribed correctly, but it's NOT "I think you called me a sinner", which makes zero sense, but "I think you caught me off-center." Sorry, irks me, seen bad transcribes of that on several sites. Also, the line, "If they shot me tomorrow, would you wish that they shot me today?" is so cooly, darkly funny. Head East didn't go very far, but they sure had some awesome singles. |
