| Jeff Buckley – Nightmares By The Sea Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| 'Your Bluebeard's young and handsome' seems like a reference to Liz Fraser. She had a song with Cocteau Twins called 'Bluebeard' around the time she and Buckley were together. | |
| Low – Embrace Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| It's about giving birth. | |
| The Smiths – A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Not sure if it is about colonisation but you are right about the song title. Lady Wilde/ Speranza was an Irish freedom fighter and she wrote: "One instant to take breath, and then a rising; a rush, a charge from north, south, east and west upon the English garrison, and the land is ours”. There's another reference to Oscar Wilde in the line 'some eighteen months ago'. Wilde was inside Reading Goal for eighteen months. It's also in 'I started something I couldn't finish' where Morrissey sings "And now eighteen months hard labour seems fair enough". I think it is metaphorical. It's more about the imagery than the literal lines of the song. Being in love can make someone feel quite 'colonised' in a way. Taken over and without freedom or will left. |
