| Mylene Farmer – Optimistique-moi Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
C'est pas si compliqué. Son amant ne peut plus supporter son melancholie et il le dit tres nettement. Elle pense à son pere qui - avec un calin ou un baiser bien tendre sur ses levres quand elle était enfant - pouvait tout soigner et elle se sentait aimait. Elle souhaite etre aimée à nouveau comme son pere l'a aimée. L'eau ecarlate n'est pas symbolique su sang, c'est pour laver encore plus propre des taches. C'est pour ca que son mec doit se laver les mains encore plus propre que devait faire Pontius Pilate lors de la crucifixion de Jesus. |

| Blur – Song 2 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It is a piss-take of the heavy metal / grunge tunes and the head-banging that happens and the subsequent deafness. It also just lasts 2 minutes. Hence the title. Unfortunately, in an ironic way, it is a better tune than most of the heavy metal / grunge tunes around at the time. I think they were just trying to show how easy it is to do this kind of music. |

goodness ! it's just about meeting someone at the bar and exchanging a few words. humanity all summed up in 2 minutes. maybe they were passsionate about something for those two minutes. but they communicated. |

| The Jam – Town Called Malice Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
the first line is also a reference to a nevil shute novel called "a town like alice" (quite obviously the original inspiration to the title). the novel is set during and just after WW2 in singapore/malaysia and then australia. the title refers to a dream town that the heroine and her eventual husband try to create in the australian outback. they do manage to do so through their own hard work and it is not a sentimental novel. it is about people struggling and surmounting albeit with success. contrast that with the life in woking i.e. the struggle to bring a town up to the struggle that people were facing in woking of a town that was losing its ability to live. the song may not make direct reference to the thatcher doctrines but the people in the song do have to contend with the consequecnes of the thatcher years. its a striking contrast. |
