J.J. Cale – Thirteen Days Lyrics 16 years ago
Can't believe I had to add this song on here .. my favorite song by JJ Cale .. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers also have a good cover of it with slightly different lyrics

Lyrics are pretty self explanatory thought

Alabama – Song Of The South Lyrics 16 years ago
I like the analysis freedom lover.

but pinback .. you are missing a lot of the entire picture. You say that people have been exposed to a misrepresentation of the South, but southern pride is a lot deeper than that. There are other things unique to the south besides slavery, talked about by this song. The war was not fought over only slavery, but states rights. Blacks and whites fought for the south in search of freedom and to preserve their culture. Also unique to the South was an agrarian lifestyle.

Conditions in the North were not much better than the South. Does that make it right? No, but if we are going to talk about slavery in the south, its only fair to discuss the terrible industrial working conditions and use of child labor in the North.

One of my favorites of the Highway Companion

This song pops in my head when I wake up and just don't feel like doin whatever I have to do that day.

Piano is great .. lyrics too.

I think it is about living in a place you really want to get away from ..

Tom Jones – Thunderball Lyrics 16 years ago
They were originally going to use a song called "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" .. sung by either Dionne Warwick or Shirley Bassey .. but the producers insisted that it had to have the title of the movie in the theme song. Too bad those days are long gone ..

Steely Dan – Night By Night Lyrics 16 years ago
This might be kind of out there but i see it as a song about someone with a gambling problem.

I always thought he was saying "queen of spades" in the first line (when listening too it) .. "its a beggars life" someone who is bleeding chips and is begging for some good cards .. or for some luck .. or more money to gamble with.

The second section he is in debt that he can't pay back and he is getting harassed by people from a casino (Vegas used to be more violent from what I've heard)

Tom Petty – A Self-Made Man Lyrics 16 years ago
This is a really good song .. i get a little confused by the lyrics

Now some folks say there's a dangerous side
Some folks says he's got dangerous side
..
So help me baby, look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?

Maybe about an abusive husband..lover? I'm not sure

Shirley Bassey – Diamonds Are Forever Lyrics 16 years ago
On one of my James Bond special features it has an interview with I think John Barry and he said he told Shirley to sing the song like it was about a penis .. instead of diamonds.

You can kind of see the connection in the lyrics:

"They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,"

"Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see every part,"

.. and yes, Shirley didn't write it, it was made for the movie (along with Goldfinger, John Barry was the best Bond composer)
