The Fratellis – Stacie Anne Lyrics 16 years ago
This has got to be one of the catchiest and jumpy songs I've ever heard!

As for the meaning, I think it's a description of hanging around with the rough crowd, the people you meet and the situations it puts you in...

Mon The Fratellis!

Arctic Monkeys – Crying Lightning Lyrics 16 years ago
I like the sound of this "Crying game".

To me this song sounds like the turbulent experience of a relationship with this dominating, yet ultimately weak woman, acting below her age, hence the extended, childish metaphors; the sweets (strawberry lace, gobstoppers, ice cream), language (icky man).

Clearly she controls the people around her, probably in a form of sadistic fun ("your pastimes, consisted of the strange and twisted and deranged...) which seems to be getting to this guy (Alex?) ("my thoughts got rude", "and I hate that little game") who seeks to distance himself from her/tear her down ("seeking of excuses to postpone") but ends up finding the situation utterly hopeless ("there was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw").
