| The Who – No Road Romance Lyrics

Beautiful song; but easy to see why it was left off of Who Are You. Definitely not suitable for The Who. (But then again neither were some of the songs that were included. Most songs would have been more suitable for a Pete solo project; and even on the title track, Roger's aggressive interpretation changed Pete's original introspective meaning. |

I'm pretty sure that it's "...now he clutches his punk", not bunk. "Punk" as directly opposed to "beautiful girl", lol. |

Just like the 2 new songs from the Reunion album, this is light years better than any Ozzy solo stuff from the 2000s. Kind of "War Pigs part 2". Very appropriate for the Bush era. |

This version doesn't make as much sense as the alternate lyrics on the "Past Lives" version. This version is almost totally about heroin; but talks about "colors in your mind", which doesn't match. The live version contains other acid related lyrics like "...because you trip a lot", so it is more about drugs in general. |

| Bob Seger – Turn The Page Lyrics

This song was written in '72 and alot of Bob's early stuff that he recorded with the Bob Seger System that he was still doing live at the time was almost proto-heavy metal. Way heavier than his popular stuff from the late '70s. Bob and his bandmates from the time have stated that that line was indeed about them all having long hair back in those hippy days and being ostracized by conservative folk when they stopped in at diners. |

The version that you hear on the radio that everyone calls the "original" was recorded live at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1975 and appears on the Live Bullet album. The REAL original version appears on his (pre-Silver Bullet Band) 1973 album "Back in '72". Most people have never heard that version as that album has been out of print for years and is not available in any format; but you can get that and all of his other early, out of print albums at isohunt.com . |

| Marilyn Manson – The Beautiful People Lyrics
| 16 years ago

I see that there are a number of actual Manson fans on here; including people who have read "The Long Hard Road Out of Hell"...so how can I possibly be the first person out of 121 comments to point out that this song is about Nietzschean Master-Slave morality? Manson dedicated the entire album to the work of Friedrich Nietzsche and it was highly influenced by his work throughout. "The Beautiful People" are the "masters". In this song there are also obvious references to LaVey "Satanism" as others have pointed out. This song stands as a statement by itself; but it also fits into the storyline of the album. The song is from the point of view of the protagonist (in the first part of the album known as "wormboy"). When he talks about "fascism", it is not necessarily Manson's own literal view; but rather simply how the character feels at that point in the narrative. On the whole though, the Nietzschean and LaVeyan sentiments do tie in with the general "message" of the band; even beyond the scope of just this album. |
