| At the Drive-In – Invalid Litter Dept. Lyrics

|
"On my way, nails broke and fell, into the wishing well" - could be a reference to Sadako in Hideo Nakata's Horror classic Ringu? When they find her corpse in the well, her fingernails are broken from where she had tried to climb out and escape, I'm probably wrong but hey. |

Quite simply, along with Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, probably the greatest pure love song of the 21st century so far. |

| Public Image Ltd – Poptones Lyrics

i think lydon's singing from the point of view of the murderer/rapist, whatever. Someone whose just commited a true atrocity, has fucked off to the countryside to forget it all and possibly escape the law, but the reality/guilt of what he has done keeps coming back to smack him in the face. |

could be he's recalling a fleeting childhood romance from a summer long gone.
"Boy tasting wild cherry / touch girl apple blossom " - his 1st kiss and/or sexual experience perhaps and just recalling and revelling in the memory of a more innocent period of his life |

| Iggy Pop – The Passenger Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
It could be about living entirely in the moment, like your first night in some great city, thinking "woah, all these possibilities, what shall i do first?"
or, considering the title of the track, it might be about an observer, who sees the cities nightlife happening around them but can't or doesn't want to participate. |

I always thought the lyrics were
"Can you help me?
are you for my brain?"
now I know why I was getting funny looks while singing along to this at 0zzfest a few years back. |

| Pet Shop Boys – Rent Lyrics

It doesn't nescessarily have to be about a rent boy.
It could be about anyone who isn't exactly contributing much to a relationship they have become very disillusioned with, but they stick around for the easy ride. |

One of my favourite tracks off Appetite . .
Has anyone heard a track called 'Hey Kid' by a band called Johnny Crash? - its the most blatant rip-off of 'Out ta get me' you'll ever hear. |

| dEUS – Worst Case Scenario (first Draft) Lyrics
| 14 years ago

I think some of it might be about the inevitability of ageing and what we might lose in life, particularly the lines "its the bald mans dream to grow hair, baby but a lame don't need legs he needs a wheelchair"
basically what I think he's saying there is you can't do anything about what life throws at you - if you lose all your lovely long hair and start going bald, like I did in my early twenties, its basically tough shit, just shave your hair real short and get on with it.
The man who can't walk ain't going to get his legs back, but if he had a wheelchair to help him get about he won't miss them so much.
He's saying lifes a bitch, we all know this, so don't waste time mourning the things you've lost, embrace what you still have and meet life head on.
Or something like this anyway. |
