| Kelly Osbourne – One Word Lyrics
| 8 months ago
|
I really don't care what this song is about. I just want to say it's a direct rip off of the synth-pop classic, "Fade To Grey", by Visage.
Listen! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Enkz4PJgQ
And according to wikipedia, Osbourne didn't even write the song, Linda Perry did...or stole it I should say. |

| Visage – Mind of a Toy Lyrics
| 1 year ago
|
Self explanatory, Mind Of A Toy is a fantasy song about a discarded toy, no longer enjoyed by its child owner. I don't know which member of the band wrote the lyrics but I think they're pretty clever. I'd like to add that the Visage debut lp is to this day, one of the greatest synth-pop albums of all time.
That is all - 🙂 |

scrimshaw, if you're still out there, that sound you hear I believe is a guitar played with an EBow.
Here is another pretty good example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnfKzoqW--A |

@[azkm:43170], that's not the impression I get. The girl was somewhere distant when she died - it's not explained. He had to grab his suitcase to go where she was. |

You know your mother would talk about you
Your own sisters and your brothers too
They just don't care how you're tryin' to live
They'll talk about you still.

@[jaimetoi:43169], Paul lied. No one talks to a 5 year old kid like that. This song is about smack. |

@[bmrutt:43168], It's been mentioned in previous posts. The drug references are so obvious, but most people don't want to face the fact that their heroes/idols, whom they love so much, could write a song so sinister. Only they did. But I too am absolutely convinced and always will be, that "Hey Jude" is about heroin. |

| Ultravox – Quiet Men Lyrics

@[PeluCrespins:41756] <\r\nUltravox. Gary Numan has admitted several times that the John Foxx led Ultravox was a major influence on his early sound, even stating that he only trying to sound like them while recording the Replicas lp. Ultravox\'s keyboard player and violinist, Billy Currie even joined Numan\'s Tubeway Army and toured with him during the European leg of the first tour. Currie later left and worked with Visage and then reformed Ultravox, with Midge Ure on lead vocals. |

Great song...as already stated its about the assassination of JFK. I prefer this darker sound to the poppier songs they made. |

Cool sounding song but it\'s not entirely accurate. I assume the lyricist is referring to Africa and Africa wasn\'t a peaceful land. No land has been a truly peaceful land since Caine slew Abel. |

Makes sense. Before 'Quiet Life' the band was still hanging on to the the glam rock styles of the early 70s. Check out this clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnP0mUMx5DM |

| Bill Nelson – October Man Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
I don't really know what this song is about, although I do remember reading a Bill Nelson interview where he mentioned that a lot of strange things happen to him in autumn. I guess this is related.
Anyway, this track is phenomenal and features the best e-bow guitar playing I've ever heard. |

These lyrics are more relevant now than ever. Cameras are everywhere, emails are monitored, phone calls are monitored, cars have tattle tale boxes...no privacy at all these days. |

Because the song isn't really meant for Julian at all. In other words Paul was lying. It doesn't matter what the name of the person in the song is...it could have been called "Hey Jane", but it's still so clearly about heroin. |

Colin Moulding explained this on their video compilation. It's about parents who map out their kids future for them. Moulding also said it was somewhat autobiographical. |

Numan singing about being famous again. Great sounding song. He should have done a entire album featuring exotic music like this, instead of the same old electro funk he was doing at that time...and long afterwards. |

The lyrics make more sense now than ever. 'Computer World' was released in 1981. Back then synth/techno/electro pop was fresh and seemed like plenty of synth bands were popping up all over the place. Then it was like Kraftwerk put out a new album to show them all how it's done. |

What the poster above already said.
'Lucky Number' is one of the most original sounding songs I've ever heard. Lene was great at making strange vocals sound interesting. |

I once saw a film about river people in China who live their entire lives on boats and don't ever step foot on dry ground. I think that's what this song is about. |
