| Peter Doherty – Sheepskin Tearaway Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Oh, and I LOVE this song. One of his best, surely. I think it's a little biographical, he's obviously the "tearaway" full of heroin and this girl's giving him a chance. It's absolutely beautiful, and his voice is nothing short of heartbreaking. | |

Those lyrics aren't quite right. She opened her heart To a tearaway, (sheepskin tearaway) Was covered in scars And full of heroin Everyone said from the start Not one single thing, could ever be OK She didn't listen any way... She just opened her heart Threw her cares away Like they held him so tight in the dark He brushed her hair away She heard him say "All my life I've been fighting And making the best of And with a very bad lot, very bad lot, very, bad lot indeed" "All your fighting got you nowhere If nowhere's here with you On my skin And you could fight forever But if you kill them all You'd never win So give me your surrender There are other ways To kill the pain But this will never mend you It's like trying to dry your eyes in the pouring rain" She opened her heart To a tearaway, (sheepskin tearaway) All covered with scars And full of heroin Tearaway, sheepskin tearaway Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep Sheepskin tearaway |

| Arctic Monkeys – I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
this is one of those extremely rare songs that I can listen to over and over and over. remember how often this was played and talked about when it first came out? I still don't get sick of hearing the intro. it reminds me of the White Stripes "Fell In Love With a Girl" that way - short, fast, loud, snarky, and easy to dance to. Arctic Monkeys have totally proved that they can outlive the hype that surrounded them. love this band and song! |

| pinkpunk1719, you're totally right, that's what it's about. | |
| The Kooks – She Moves in Her Own Way Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I always thought it was "NOT about to lie down for your cause," like not giving up on her opinions. | |

There were never any good old days They are today, they are tomorrow It's a stupid thing we say Cursing tomorrow with sorrow I LOVE these lines! |

I love the "heart is in the right place, brain is in the dirt" lyric. VERY cool song. Quite different from their other stuff, I think. |
