There's a couple missing lines, after "the advantages that you've been handed". The full verse should be: "When the sirens wailed and the bombs fell We ran from the schoolyard into hell And what we could've been time will never tell 'Cause we never had your chances The advantages that you've been handed Girl you'll never know how hard it was So you've got to do this for all of us" |

As someone quite familiar with the Australian accent, I noticed a couple easy-to-make misinterpretations: it should be "coming down hard" not "coming down hot" and "you give me order / it's getting harder" instead of "you give me ardor / it's getting hotter" |

The å«å”å” thing is exactly what I first thought! Haha yay Chinese-derivative culture. (: I'm not sure if that's what she meant, but I wouldn't rule it out, because it's a hugely pervasive part of the Chinese familial/social culture of the last few generations. |

It's kinda funny - I always heard "the love that's gonna shine" as "the law that's gonna shine" haha. I guess love is a whole lot more poetic. Anyway, I also love the folksy-country lilt to this - it's cheerful, and really open-minded, in the sense that one commonly associates that style with regions of America that reject homosexuality and all that. So it's ironic, but in a positive way, which is lovely for a change (considering how nasty arguments around this subject can turn). <3 |
