| Cat Stevens – Trouble Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song reminds me of a friend of mine who I eventually ditched after 15 years of knowing. The reason being he was always bringing me down and giving me a negative perspective on things both people & the world and I'd finally had enough of it. I'm sure the song literally means something different (someone mentioned Tuberculosis) but as it's quite lyrically general I hope you can see that it could be open to many interpretations. As it is the words fit almost line for line for what I was feeling and so that's what it means to me. |

| Marillion – Punch And Judy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
My interpretation of this song is that it's about a man 'Punch' entering middle-age who is trapped in an loveless marraige to 'Judy' with an unsatisfying career to compound matters. His early years with 'Judy' were the typical story of the passions of young love (described in the "whatever happened..." lines of the chorus) but his current situation (described in the verses) is no longer carefree and Judy is clearly just a nagging influence who is no longer any fun to be around. He'd wants a divorce but for whatever reason cannot obtain one so he decides the only way to escape is to kill his wife by poisoning her. (great pop song!) |

| The Pogues – Rainy Night in Soho Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I also believe it is a song about his love of alcohol. As has already been pointed out "the ginger lady" is another name whiskey. Also take note of the line "the measure of my dreams". A measure is a term used for describing the size of a drink of whiskey (25ml = small measure, 35ml = large measure etc). | |
