The Streets – The Irony Of It All Lyrics 17 years ago
I first heard of the Streets a few months ago bc my friend from france is a fan. i live in the states and feel I've been deprived of meaningful lyrics(for the most part)

I love this song

I think ur meant to like Tim more-hence the voice and valid points

I believe its titled theIrony of it All bc the laws are al rather ironic. Alchol has bad effects to health, behavior and wrecks while the other has little to none. Bravo.

Regina Spektor – Consequence of Sounds Lyrics 17 years ago
I just want to start by Saying I love Regina Spektor and its both a shame her only well-known song is Fidelity and a blessing bc t would be sad if she was entirely mainstream. Also people who comment that the song is "catchy" or hip hop...wow. lol

"My rhyme ain't good just yet
My brain and tongue just met
and they ain't friends so far
My words don't travel far
They tangle in my hair
and tend to go nowhere
They grow right back inside
right past my brain and eyes
into my stomach juice
where they don't serve much use
No healthy calories
nutrition values
and I absorb back in
the words right through my skin
They sit there festering inside my bowels"
I interpret this as...Regina acknowledging that she struggles with trying to tell a complex message with only her words and feels her words are useless. Or perhaps that she has to use metaphors bc there arent words to explain what she is trying to.

"Got a soundtrack in my mind
all the time
Kids screaming from too much beat up and they don't even rhyme
They just stand there
on a street corner
skin tucked in and meat side out and shouting
I'd like to turn them down but there ain't no knob
Born into picket fences
not into picket lines
All this hippie shit's for the sixties
Only cliché in our times
but what if one of these days your heart will just stop ticking
and they sort of just don't find you till your cubicle is reeking?"
I kind of think Regina is taking a hit at rap saying they try to be deep but she can see through that she'd like them to shut up but is incapable. (words cant be used). She mentions hippies being a cliche in our time probably meaning the hippie movement started out with a motive, a love for a sustainable future and anticonformity and tranformed into congformity, a trend without a cause or useless words bc it ruined itself.
and then she kinda implies but if u cant be a hippie bc they dont exist today to be your own self or u'll just end up conforming to a meaningless society where u will live an unfulfilled life

"Did you know that the gravedigger's still getting stuck in the machine
even though it's a whole other daydream?
It's another town
It's another world
where the kid's asleep
and the loans are paid
and the lawns are mowed
What'd you think
all the gravediggers were gone
just 'cause one song is done?
There's always another one
waiting right around the bend
till this one ends
Then it begins squeaky clean and it starts all over again"
This song starts how it ends-gravedigger references another of her songs-saying shes used her words and theres still a problem

"The weather report keeps on tossing and turning
predicting and warning and warning and warning of
possible leakage from news publications and
possible leakage from news tv stations
That very same morning right next to her coffee
she noticed some bleeding and heard hollow coughing
The national geographic was being too graphic
when all she had wanted to know was the traffic"
The media is too extensive. We are better off with less.

"The world's got a nosebleed, it said, and we're flooding
but we keep on cutting the trees in the forest
and we keep on paying those freaks on the tv
who claim they will save us but want to enslave us and
sweating like demons, they scream through our speakers
but we leave the sound on cause silence is harder and
no one's the killer and no one's the martyr
The world that has made us can no longer contain us
and prophets are silent then rotting away 'cause"
We're allowing people who are corrupt and "superior to us coontrol us and destroy our planet bc its easier. and no one person can be blamed. loss of intellect.

She can keep singing letting her words out..her song can repeat but who will listen

"The consonants and vowels

Hear the words
Take action.
Bc the sounds that we're not turning down will lead to some serios consequences.


...Well thats one interpretation of mine to this song.

I love this song =]
