| Lewis Capaldi – Someone You Loved Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| 2.6 billion streams on Spotify and only two comments? Maybe everyone assumes it's meaning is obvious. But I read he wrote it after his grandmother died, so it's not your typical "she left me" love song. | |
| Camper Van Beethoven – Tania Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Agree. These are the key lines: My beloved Tania, We carry your gun deep within our hearts For no better reason than our lives have no meaning And we want to be on television |

| Bruce Springsteen – Born in the U.S.A. Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I always thought he said "silly putty wrapper", not "So they put a rifle" in my hand...gives it a more innocent feel. | |
| Robyn Hitchcock – The Man with the Lightbulb Head Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I wonder what the Beavis and Butthead commentary to this song would sound like? I guess it would go right over their heads... | |
| Robyn Hitchcock – Balloon Man Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| foreverdrone, I think that theory could be on the mark. | |
| Robyn Hitchcock – Ted, Woody and Junior Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is about some fellas who like to "cover each other with soap" and were "disappointments to their fathers". Not to hard to figure that one out, Robyn. | |
| Robyn Hitchcock – Wax Doll Lyrics | 15 years ago |

From the liner notes of Globe of Frogs, 1988: "All of us exist in a swarming, pulsating world, driven mostly by an unconscious that we ignore and misunderstand. Within the framework of 'civilisation' we remain as savage as possible. Against the dense traffic of modern life, we fortify our animal selves with video violence, imaginary sex, and music…but our inflamed and disoriented psyches smoulder on beneath the wet leaves of habit." I think RH is riffing on the same idea in this song. It alludes to conformity and how society makes us repress our real selves, then we turn to psychologists ("professionla like Alan Breeze..."). "Snip off your harness" makes perfect sense in this context. |
