Ocean Colour Scene – Travellers Tune Lyrics

15 years ago

I think this is a song from the viewpoint of someone whose partner is feeling trapped and thinking what a big world it is and what else they could be doing. The singer wants to continue the relationship but understands the need to go. However he wants to stay together - "And if I could..." is him clasping at straws. The phrase 'Two Christophers in the snow' maybe references the patron saint of the travellers - Saint Christopher.

Also the song title is 'From Hank To Hendrix' and is by Neil Young alone not CSN. See http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858677534/

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – From Henx to Hendrix Lyrics	15 years ago
'Hank' seems a little ambiguous but is oddly a reference to Hank Marvin from The Shadows who Neil idolised rather than Hank Williams (who you'd think he would be singing about).

Blur – M.O.R. Lyrics

15 years ago

It seems to me this song has lots of references to Bowie lyrics but also other songs in general which might have influenced Blur - 'Under The Pressure' / Under Pressure (Bowie & Freddie Mercury), 'Fall Into Fashion' / Fashion (Bowie), as you mentioned all the bits from Boys Keep Swinging, 'Here comes a low' / Low (Name of a Bowie album), 'Cause that's entertainment' / That's Entertainment (The Jam). Probably some more in there

Thanks Keredwh - 'pigeons have come home to roost' is also a nod to a northerner's love of racing pigeons
