| Sigur Rós – Untitled 8 Lyrics | 6 months ago |
| Sigur Ros pulls off the trick of turning a ballad into the most apocalyptic rock outro ever. | |
| Fleetwood Mac – Rhiannon Lyrics | 6 months ago |
| @[tonyxiy:53935] To me that is genius. | |
| Fleetwood Mac – Rhiannon Lyrics | 6 months ago |
|
"Dreams unwind / Love's a state of mind" on the album it's barely audible, but live it would be a jumping off point for an electric outro. |

| Amy Studt – Going out of my mind Lyrics | 7 months ago |
| @[Fragmenta_UK:53749] Still feel the same way? | |
| Porcupine Tree – Blackest Eyes Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| The riff on this song is sick. | |
| ABBA – Eagle Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher Am I dreaming or is it all real? My favorite verse in any ABBA song. |

| @[Icon6386:48353] Bernie is the Brown Dirt Cowboy. | |
| Elton John – Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| @[Icon6386:48352] Bernie is the Brown Dirt Cowboy. | |
| Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Knife Edge Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| I think this might have been about how to survive in the music business. | |
| Steven Wilson – 3 Years Older Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| @[spiraleyes:46474] claim, not pay. | |
| Chicago – Poem 58 Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| @[Spooky_Tooth:46141] It's more of a composition than a song, which is fine with me. Songs are nice, but sometimes it's good to stretch out into longer forms with multiple parts. | |
| Chicago – Poem 58 Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| @[Mattbluhalofan:46140] Disagree man, it's perfect. | |
| Chicago – Poem 58 Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| @[Mattbluhalofan:46139] Disagree man, it's perfect. | |
| Elton John – Madman Across the Water Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| I think it was about Richard Nixon. | |
| Elton John – All The Nasties Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| Another one of Elton's spirituals. | |
| Tori Amos – Playboy Mommy Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| I wonder if this was partially inspired by Pamela Anderson. A real 'Playboy Mommy' who had a miscarriage in 1995 because of her lifestyle. | |
| Billy Joel – I've Loved These Days Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| This song is either about the last days of Elvis Presley or the Romanoffs. | |
| The PAper ChAse – We Know Where You Sleep Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I read somewhere this song was about Billy Corgan, Emilie was his girlfriend for a little while in the early 2000s. | |
| Billy Joel – Captain Jack Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead Why you've got to keep in style and feed your head Well you're 21 and still your mother makes your bed And that's too long Devastating. |
|
| Billy Joel – Scandinavian Skies Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Was this when he and the band tried heroin during the European tour in 1978? | |
| Tori Amos – Silent All These Years Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| This part really always cut deep:\n\n"So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts\nWhat\'s so amazing about really deep thoughts\nBoy you best pray that I bleed real soon"\n\nI think Tori aimed that at all those \'nice guys\' who pretend to like a girl\'s intellect but are just after her body, but don\'t want to face the consequences. I.e., unintended pregnancy. | |
| Procol Harum – Quite Rightly So Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| Genius lyrics by Keith Reid. One of the all time great poets in rock music, along with Van Dyke Parks, Peter Sinfield, Richard Palmer James and Bernie Taupin. | |
| Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Tarkus Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| I put this suite right after Supper's Ready. | |
| Emerson, Lake & Palmer – The Only Way (Hymn) Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| Very interesting song. | |
| The Delgados – Coalman Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| I wonder if this is about a totalitarian state. | |
| Chicago – Poem For The People Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| Great, great early song by Robert Lamm and interpreted amazingly by the band. | |
| Steve Winwood – There's A River Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| I can't believe nobody has talked about this song. Winwood's most spiritual statement and the background music for one of the most memorable episodes of Miami Vice in 1987. | |
| Megadeth – Take No Prisoners Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| @[qwerty1198:36094] The song was recorded in 1990, Marty left in 1999. So much for that theory. I bet Marty never even thought a second about the lyrics, he was too busy shredding. | |
| The Beatles – Maxwell's Silver Hammer Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| So wait, this is actually a super cryptic anti-Vietnam War song? | |
| Genesis – Broadway Melody Of 1974 Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I wonder what the KKK reference is all about. Only Peter Gabriel knows! | |
| Elton John – Indian Sunset Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| @[MagicRat:35019] Are you sure? I think I saw some video that showed Indian Sunset being performed as early as Dec 1970. | |
| Elton John – Indian Sunset Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| @[Skillstad:35018] No it means he fought the white man and died in battle. | |
| Elton John – Levon Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| The way this song jumps around in time and concept is genius. | |
| Genesis – Duke's Travels Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| Hey Paul! | |
| Phil Collins – Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| @[Wanderpops:33785] Phil was not chubby prior to 1985. Yes he speaks with a Cockney accent and sometimes is an arse. | |
| Genesis – Alone Tonight Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I wonder if this is about those times that Michael Rutherford was on tour and felt lonely. | |
| Genesis – Man Of Our Times Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I wonder if this is about politicians. Remember when this was written, there was great political upheaval in the UK with Margaret Thatcher becoming Prime Minister. | |
| Genesis – Heathaze Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| @[Bryman1970:33784] Actually Tony Banks wrote this song about his own experiences. Nothing to do with Phil. | |
| Genesis – Man On The Corner Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Great, great song. I think this song on Abacab proved Genesis were one of only 2 70s 'prog rock' bands able to still innovate in the 1980s. The other band being King Crimson. Love the sound of the analog synth. | |
| Bat for Lashes – Bat's Mouth Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Honestly I prefer not to think about the specific meaning of the song. To me it just has a magical atmosphere. | |
| Elton John – Tonight Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Why nobody talks about the grand orchestral + piano intro? | |
| Billy Joel – Captain Jack Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| The guitar solo is very Pink Floyd-ish. | |
| Elton John – Madman Across the Water Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| @[Myguitar:30525] Rocket Man came out the next year after Madman. I don't think they're related. | |
| Elton John – Madman Across the Water Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| One of Elton & Bernie's best. | |
| Muse – Propaganda Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| What is a 'death eater'? | |
| Elton John – Tiny Dancer Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| To me the line 'lay me down in sheets of linen' is Bernie Taupin longing for the familiarity of home instead of being in the ratty hotels of Los Angeles. | |
| Elton John – Rocket Man Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| @[mtsquad:30319] Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics, he's straight. | |
| Elton John – Rocket Man Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Truly one of the greatest songs of all time. | |
| Elton John – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| These lyrics by Bernie Taupin reflect his feeling at the time of 'Impostor syndrome'. | |
| Elton John – Sixty Years On Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| This is a magnificent composition, too bad Elton didn't pursue this style. | |
