U2 – When I Look At The World Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
I like the pope interpretation. I always imagined the smoke referred to the incense burned so often in Catholic churches. To one person it might be spiritual and meaningful, but to another it might just be a bunch of smoke. |

U2 – New York Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
Just wanted to point out the line "Tell yourself you will stay in, but it's down to Alphaville" probably refers to the Godard film ALPHAVILLE. Don't remember it that well, but it's one of those future dystopia stories. Definitely a classic. |

Soft Cell – Torch Lyrics

|
To me it's about listening to a (torch) singer perform and feeling a deep connection. Being really moved by a musical performance. |

Blur – Peach Lyrics

Sounds like somebody shot himself in the head. Probably has something to do with the locket from the girl he once loved. Not every line makes sense though. |

The Brunettes – Small Town Crew Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
The first verse is about Hollywood. People "make illegal money" by dressing as characters and posing for pictures with tourists in front of the Chinese Theater. Also, the church of Scientology is nearby, where you can take a stress test. |

The Flaming Lips – Pilot Can at the Queer of God Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
I don't think it's complete nonsense. He hasn't seen this girl for a long time, but now he's fallen for her. She's in the army now and doesn't remember him anymore. Hence the helicopter and the pilot dreams like she came from outer space. |

Cat Stevens – I'm Gonna Get Me A Gun Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
Kind of surprised all those ignorant fools who keep calling Cat Stevens a terrorist haven't commented on this one. I suspect it's a bit sarcastic, but it makes a great outlet when you're mad. And talk about sweet bells! |
