The Auteurs – Unsolved Child Murder Lyrics 9 years ago
Pretty sure the lyrics in the first verse are...

...Since they dragged the lake
you know they sealed our fate
cordoned off some woodland,
gave a photo to a psychic
Presumed Dead
Unsolved Child Murder

Idlewild – 4 People Do Good Lyrics 12 years ago
You can't always be the strange one
I spent a year without a hope, forlorn
Fighting yourself into it
If you don't wanna stay
Don't add to the lie
You'll be better off that way

I've got no motives
4 people do good 4 people do good
I've got no motives
4 people do good 4 people do good

I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, you see me dancing
So, you stand there, you stand there
You watch in wonder
If he's wondering about the star
If he's a wonder away
Don't make him stay If he doesn't want to stay
So you'll never be alone
Hey
I've got no motives 4 people do good 4 people do good
I've got no motives 4 people do good 4 people do good

Metallica – Battery Lyrics 12 years ago
It's not that kind of battery. obviously. It's battery as in 'assault & battery'. Have you considered reading the lyrics?

Idlewild – City Hall Lyrics 13 years ago
Definitely agree with the wedding reference, it's instantly what I thought of when I heard the song. I'm fairly sure that it's a safe bet that it's about a wedding to be honest.

Baader Meinhof – There's gonna be an accident Lyrics 14 years ago
I'm pretty sure that "Tuesday to Saturday" is wrong, the line is "Dues day is Saturday", which makes sense cause on Friday he needs to rob a bank to pay the dues on Saturday

Idlewild – Chandelier Lyrics 14 years ago
If you read between the lines here, it all becomes clear. Basically the message in the song is simple; if you want to wear the punk overcoat, first you have to put it on. Now, a lot of people might think that the message in the song doesn't really need to be said, as most people who are considering to wear an overcoat (or any other garment for that matter) will automatically realise that they have to put it on in order to wear it, but things aren't that simple in the world of Woomble.

Idlewild – Not Just Sometimes But Always Lyrics 14 years ago
It is DEFINITELY "an elegy in disguise", it's actually one of the more obvious lyrics in the song.

Also, this line is wrong: "I'm suddenly an empty house that almost fills up with home"
The line actually is: "And suddenly an empty house, it almost fills up with home"

"I was born the same day that you died..." Possibly about a woman dying during childbirth and the child growing up with this burden hanging over him.

Bloc Party – Hunting for Witches Lyrics 15 years ago
Ok guys, I'm a big Bloc Party fan, but let's be serious for a moment, I can understand that you guys are trying to defend a band that you like by saying they have good lyrics, but no matter what spin you put on it or how much you try to stretch the truth, they still are very weak lyrically and always have been. They are a good band but come on guys, grow up and have a serious discussion about music instead of just saying that they have good lyrics when it's clear that they don't... you are only fooling yourselves.

Bloc Party – Song for Clay (Disappear Here) Lyrics 15 years ago
Easton Ellis is probably my favourite contemporary writer and has been for maybe the past ten years or so, this book can also be kind of related to Lunar Park, as the author relives stories of his past, 'Disappear Here' is mentioned numerous times throughout the novel and obviously the freeway reference too, however I'm not sure if Kele has read that one. If you haven't already, check out the sequel to Less Than Zero, 'Imperial Bedrooms'.

Fatboy Slim – The Rockafeller Skank Lyrics 15 years ago
"Then this song came on–I will never forget it–it was called "The Funk Soul Brother." And I will always remember that because it was also all of the lyrics... and, er, it was that school of songwriting, you know, very easy on the words in case they get wasted... I don't know what... there's a shortage, and... it sounded like a million fire engines chasing ten million ambulances through a war zone and was played at a volume that made the empty chair beside me bleed. And it went, erm, "Funk soul brother... right about now... yeah... it's the, it's the funk soul brother... check it out. It's, er, well... it's the funk soul brother, essentially. He's, er, he's coming. He's coming at you. It's the... well... it's the funk soul brother." And after a while, I began to penetrate the meaning of this song, you know? I gathered that somebody was about to arrive, and everybody else was terribly excited. Maybe he was bringing cake or something, they didn't say. But the thing was, you see, he wasn't there yet. Ha ha, that was the hook! I'm not saying it's a bad song, you know, or anything like that. All I'm saying is that if you get–I don't know–a broom, say, and dip it in some brake fluid, put the other end up my arse, stick me on a trampoline in a moving lift, and I would write a better song on the walls."
-Dylan Moran

Rancid – The Ballad Of Jimmy And Johnny Lyrics 15 years ago
People's interpretations of this song just keep getting stranger and stranger. What are you talking about numbandnumber, how is two-tone referring to somebody who's half black? It's a ska reference, do some research!

Just helping you out with some lyrics that you missed.

And I climbed up the ladder in your ... tights (Pretty self-explanatory)

And I see that you have it in... spades (it's a common expression)

Not sure what the word is after river, sounds like curve or something

Roddy Woomble – My Secret Is My Silence Lyrics 16 years ago
The line at the start of the chorus is "but you know nothing is as silent" not "but you know nothing is outside", which makes no sense because some things are outside, just look out the window and anything you see is probably outside. Also, it's not cail yard, it's Kailyard (the kailyard school of Scottish Fiction ) here's alink to it's Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kailyard_school

Idlewild – I'm A Message Lyrics 16 years ago
I'm pretty sure that these lyrics are wrong, despite what it may say on other websites, the lyrics are "I am the best message out of the rest of them". Also, the line "you're ice cold, with you're eyes closed" seems to have been just shortened here to "with your eyes closed", which, on it's own, doesn't actually make any sense

This is an unusual song, I've just been reading other people's comments and I've never got any cat vibe off this song, and still don't as a matter of fact, I always thought that it was pretty obvious that the song is about a stray dog

Roddy Woomble – Waverley Steps Lyrics 17 years ago
I was in New York about a month ago and I was going toward Washington Square, this song just popped into my head and then I realised I was on a street called 'Waverley Place', perhaps it's common knowledge that that's what this song's about, but it was news to me
