Peter, Paul and Mary – Puff (The Magic Dragon) Lyrics 16 years ago
Anyone remember "Toy Story"?

That boy Andy totally loses interest in his Cowboy doll "Woody" right after he gets "Buzz Lightyear" for birthday. "Buzz Lightyear" is a so-called action figure, not just a simple doll like "Woody". That's how kids are...

Eagles – Hotel California Lyrics 16 years ago
So here's my very own theory:

"On a dark desert highway"
"Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light"
"My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim"

"And I was thinking to myself"
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"


I think that the "shimmering light" were the headlights of an approaching car or maybe even a truck. So the song could be about a guy who dozed off behind the wheel, then his car collided with the other vehicle and he died!

The Hotel he "can never leave" is the Afterlife.

David Bowie – China Girl Lyrics 16 years ago
NO, IT'S NOT ABOUT DRUGS!

You wanna know what this song really is about?

"I feel a tragic like I'm Marlon Brando"

You just need to watch the 1957 Movie "Sayonara" starring Marlon Brando. The movie actually plays in Japan and not in China, but the meaning is the same! Just watch it or at least read the Wikipedia page and you'll understand...

Billy Joel – Stop In Nevada Lyrics 16 years ago
Dude, you are so totally wrong...

Fact is she wants to leave her husband - forever!!! We don't know in which State they live, but I guess it must be quite a long trip to California. I think that she wants to be as far away from her husband as possible. And California is called the "Sunshine State", a nice place to try and start a new life.

So what about this "Stop in Nevada"? You really think she wrote this, so he could follow her and get her back? And how?? She only wrote "Nevada", not the name of any city!

The obvious reason: She wants a divorce!

Nevada is famous for its quick and unproblematic divorce legislation. Does it really take a European (I'm German) to explain to you the real meaning of this song?

By the way, if you know the song "Don't go down to Reno" by Tony Christie, this song is about the same situation! You probably know that Reno is a city in Nevada...
