| Radiohead – Where I End and You Begin. (The Sky Is Falling In.) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think the song is about the end of relationship between two people and the realisation that actually they are too different, the "gap" between them is too great, to work as a couple. The subtitle, "The Sky is Falling In", supports the idea of finality. "I am up in the clouds...and I can't come down" talks about realising his own failings and inability to change to make the relationship work. "X will now mark the place Like the parting of the waves Like a house falling into the sea Into the sea" is about the final realisation that it is over, that the relationship has failed - a line in the sand has been drawn. The last repeating parts alternate between the consequences of continuing with the relationship, "I will eat you alive", and the future apart, "There'll be no more lies" suggesting that the acrimony between the two will be over. |

| The line "Wrap me round your finger, seen before" I believe should read "Wrap me round your finger, see me fall" | |

It's definiitely "the Bomb". I always understood it to mean a common cause, "The Bomb" referring to people uniting against the nuclear arms race, e.g. CND campaigns (their slogan was "Ban the Bomb"). It's suggesting that many people, and particularly people who are shy when it comes to relationships, meet their partners by chance through common interest rather than going out specifically to find one. |

| The Smiths – Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The song title is a sarcastic dig at the all the people at the time in the music press who levelled criticism at The Smiths by suggesting all their songs had become to sound the same. And I believe the song is about their relationship with the music press. | |
