| Frank Turner – Love Ire & Song Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
For me this song is about how you should never give up, not to become old and not care about the world anymore just thinking about yourself. Everyone should have the opinion of the young which is to care about everyone else and not just be driven by money. I think the first few lines pretty much sum up the whole song - "Well a teacher of mine once told me That life was just a list of disappoints and defeats And you could only do your best, And I said "That's a fucking cop-out, you're just washed up and your tired, and when I get to your age I won't be such a coward" Just my way of looking at it. |

Do people not read the comments before posting their own? Jon McClure (Frontman of Reverend & The Makers) used to be in a band called 1984 who made electro pop. The line "Dancing like a robot to a electro pop like a robot from 1984" definitely references this and not the book by the same name by George Orwell. As for anyone saying that Arctic Monkeys are over-hyped, well here we are 4 years on and guess what, they're still one of the biggest bands in Britain. They've done what a lot of bands don't do and that is matured and changed their musical style as a result of that. Personally I think this is one of their weakest tracks both lyrically and musically but it's by no means bad, it's better than the majority of rubbish being churned out by the same old same old with a new name year upon year. There are very few bands whose music can make shivers run through me, this is one of those bands. I wonder if any of the people complaining about Arctic Monkeys being another generic indie band would say the same thing now they've released a second album that was musically different to their first and are about to release a third (which is already available on the internet) which is so much darker and the lyrics are so much more complex? |

| Personally I think this is the best song on the album, great tune, great lyrics, great vocals, amazing live. Now as for the meaning, it's basically asking if your friends will stick by you in a crisis or if they'll let you down when you need them. I think that pretty much sums it up but yeah, fantastic song off a brilliant second album. | |
