Doherty talking about the meaning behind the lyric "With your famous Auntie Arthur's trousers on": "[My uncle] had this pair of trousers that where at the bottom of my Nan’s wardrobe for ages and I, when I used to go and stay with her in summers in Liverpool, I’d root about, and I found them; and I wore them! I thought I was the bollocks in those trousers! There was a kebab shop.. ..and these trousers, I thought they'd give me magic powers, I was about 15 and I was a bit drunk and the fella said, "Sorry mate, we're closed mate", and I said; "Fuckin’ closed? Give me a fuckin' kebab!" and he chased me up the street with a skewer, but the trousers didn't give in. They were horrible!" The lyric "she knows her Rodneys from her Stanleys" could be a reference to sit-coms 'Only Fools and Horses' and 'Porridge,' or to footballers Stanley Bowles and Rodney Marsh. "And her Winstons from her Enochs" refers to English politicians Winston Churchill and Enoch Powell, and possibly to footballers Enoch Showunmi and Gary Winston Lineker. At the end of the song, Doherty recites, in French, lines from Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet. |

| The Maccabees – Bicycles Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Most definately related to terrorism. "The quickest route to paradise Is a short commute to paradise And a sharp salute to paradise" Muslim extremist terrorism is based around the idea that once they have martyred themselves to kill the 'infidels' they will be sent to paradise where there are 72 virgins....waheyyy! (u probably all knew that...just wanted to make sure. My interpretation which i feel quite confident about is that it is an attack on the terrorism and saying how it has affected london. "Space becomes so lonely, with these feeling of mistrust Because the monster in the cupboard has made us feel we must" This talks about how we don't speak on the trains because there is so much mistrust due to bombers. jt |
