| Train – Bruises (feat. Ashley Monroe) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This song encourages domestic violence. I love it. | |
| Lisa Hannigan – Passenger Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I get the feeling this song uses the metaphor of taking on a funeral urn on a 'road trip' and eventually burying the urn instead of spreading the ashes... | |
| Bob Dylan – Just Like a Woman Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Adolescence. "Lately I see her ribbons and her bows have fallen from her curls. She takes just like a woman, She makes love just like a woman, And she aches just like a woman, but she breaks just like a little girl." Not yet a woman. Yet, not entirely a child anymore too. Just my two cents. |

| Laura Marling – All My Rage Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Stole my children, left my son Of all of them, he's the only one who did not mean that much to me I tip my cap to the raging sea Oh cover me up, I'm pale as night With a mind so dark and skin so white Is this the devil having fun? I'd tip my cap to the raging sun Now all my rage been gone Now all my rage been gone I leave my rage to the sea and the sun I leave my rage to the sea and the sun Stole my children, left my son Of all of them, he's the only one who did not mean that much to me I tip my cap to the raging sea My daughter, she's the pretty one I married her off to the reverend's son Now she lives in a sin-free world Tip your cap to the brave old girl Now all my rage been gone Now all my rage been gone I leave my rage to the sea and the sun I leave my rage to the sea and the sun Now all my rage been gone Now all my rage been gone I leave my rage to the sea and the sun I leave my rage to the sea and the sun |

| Laura Marling – My Friends Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
My friends, my dear friends And lovers, oh my lovers I'd leave you for them They got a hand on my back Mama has money now and Mama has friends She's making rags for some uptown hags With their money in bags And why are you so sad? Why are you always so sad? Why do I not understand? Why don't I see what it is you see? Why can't I live and just be? I'm full of guilt I am full of guilt You're very tall, you're very handsome You have it all, your skin smells like man And I, you never know how I ache You will never know how I ache Ever considered the sea? I heard you had to be strong Why not float around with me? It won't take you so long You can go where I'm at You can hang around with me A few good men will go where they all Where they all not be And a few good mothers go for what they, What they all not teach I long for a touch or reminder of us but, But it must not be And a few strong branches over water reach for what they all not reach I hope your mother knows where it is you have been I hope your mother knows what it is you have seen She'd be so proud |

| Laura Marling – Night After Night Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Darling, I loved you I long to become you And know what it is that you gave We dance the sorrow Forgive me tomorrow And I pray night after night, day after day Would you watch my body weaken My mind drift away? Dear lover forsaken, our love is taken away You were my speaker, my innocence-keeper I don't night after night, day after day Would you watch my body weaken, My mind drift away? Dear lover forgiven, my love is driven by rage Oh I should just leave you, instead I've deceived you But I don't Night after night, day after day Would you watch my body weaken and mind drift away? I count to no one, hold nobody's ear I sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear I don't stand for the devil I don't whisper in ears I stand on the mountains and call people to hear It's a sudden burst of light, it's a fate foretold It is knowing, it is knowing He longs for the answers, as all of us must He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust He screams in the night, I scream in the day We weep in the evening and lie naked and pray Night after night, day after day Night after night, day after day Night after night, day after day Would you watch my body weaken and my mind drift away? It's a tempting communion It's a fate foretold It is knowing, it is knowing What it is that you're told |

| Laura Marling – Don't Ask Me Why Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I choose to stay far away from the ones that think Money is money to share Don't ask me why and I'll tell you no lies. Sonny don't come here no more He don't drink from this well He's done with the world And done with the girl And I don't ask him why And he tells me no lies Those of us who are lost and low I know how you feel I know it's not right but it's real I don't ask for love And I don't beg for money I'm just asking for grace and forgiveness now honey Don't ask me why I'll tell you no lies Looking for answers in unsavory places On the highest of mountains And the lowest of bases And I still don't know why I still don't know why Those of us wo are lost and low We know how you feel We know it's not right but it's real But it's real I took the wind from the sea I took the blood from an arrow I took the wisdom of spring And I was thrown and blown and tossed and turned Untill time found its hand And called it an end Me and time, we go way back when I was a child and I always knew why I knew my name, I knew my road And I stayed away from heavy loads And still I am low Oh lord, am I low Those of us who are lost and low I know how you feel I know it's not right but it's real But it's real |

| Laura Marling – I Was Just A Card Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I was just a card, caught up in the stars, Looking down to Mars. You know, you know I know, I know something About you that you don't want me to know. Never found a solid hand till I found that man, Till I found that man of mine. You were looking at me, thinking, "Who is she?" Never knew the sky was white till I took that flight, Till I took that flight to him, Tonight. I was just a card, caught up in the stars, Looking down from Mars. You know, you know He knows, he knows something About mr that I don't want him to know. Could've sworn I had that man when he took my hand, When he took my hand down near you. You were looking at me, thinking, "Who is she?" Didn't even see the night till I said goodbye, Till I said goodbye to him, Tonight. |

| Laura Marling – The Muse Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
God's work is plans I stand here with a man that talked to me so candidly More than I choose. My lips once roosed I feel again the blues of longing, ever longing, to be confused He wrote me a letter Saying he would love me better Than my poor sons begetter the rules Spoke of love like hunger He at once was younger. Younger, ever younger, in my hunger for a muse Finest man that I've seen ever since my eyes have been But his honesty did gleam me blind Keep those thoughts from sight Follow me into the night And you can call on me when you need the light You know what I need Why won't you give it me? Must I fall down at your feet and plead? Don't you be scared of me I'm nothing but the beast And I'll call on you when I need to feast |

Oh I have been wondering where I have been pondering Where I've been lately is no concern of yours Who's been touching my skin Who have I been letting Shy and tired eyed am I today I'm wounded by dust Oh, I have been wondering where I have been pondering Where I've been lately is no concern of yours Who's been touching my skin Who have I been let in Tried and tired I am now today Sometimes I sit, sometimes I stare Sometimes they look and sometimes I don't care Where they I weep, some times I must I'm wounded by dust When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime You better call for your woman up high And when the bell tolls for your last day, You'll be getting down on your knees to pray I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day I'm not a woman that is going to place that claim but you said that it was coming on judgement day Now Sophia I'm wounded by dust Now, when the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime You better call for your woman up high And when the bell tolls for your last day, You'll be getting down on your knees to pray I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day I'm not a woman that's going to place that claim but you said that it was coming on judgement day Now Sophia I'm wounded by dust Now Sophia |

| Laura Marling – Rest In the Bed Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
There lies a man of my heart A fine and complete work of art Here, I his woman, his home, and his heart And proud to be playing that part And proud to be playing that part Rest in the bed of my bones All that I want is a home And all you can do is promise me bold That you won't let me grow dark or cold As long as we both shall live The bite will come and you'll feel your call As a sound as I believe in you The first year was the hardest I'm sure All shadows come to the shore Know that it's you and I till the end And all I want from life is to hold your hand All that I have are these bones And all that I want is a home And all you can do is promise me bold That you won't let me grow dark or cold As long as we both shall live The sirens come, they always will But the dart between my heart and his Is as good as a diamond chain Rest in the bed of my bones All that I want is a home And all you can do is promise me bold That you won't let me grow dark or cold As long as we both shall live |

| Laura Marling – The Beast Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Where did our love go, you will never know How did you get home, you will never know Did you catch yourself in the mirror? It's a sight i understand You consider it all for a second And put it down to slight of hand You know I've been running 'round for hours Calling my Egyptian blood to bear me flowers Calling Sophia, goddess of power. Instead I got the beast and tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me and here comes to beast You're okay now, I suppose You're not pulled by the rope I'm pulled by the pull on my throat I'm pulled by the rope I swing from the trees into the slope Hold my head high, just by the tip of my toes and he lies, he lies so sweet that i choke Tonight i choose the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me and here comes the beast Put your eyes away if you can't bear to see your old lady laying down next to the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me and here comes the beast Look at yourself in the mirror It's a sight i understand You consider it all for a second and put it down to slight of hand I give you the best, the best that I can I'd suggest that you be grateful There's no blood on my hands and assume yourself weaker, the fall of man. And look out for the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me and here comes the beast Put your eyes away if you can't bear to see your old lady laying down next to the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me and here comes the beast |

| Laura Marling – Salinas Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I am from Salinas where the women go forever And they never ever to stop to ask why My mother was a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour With long, blond curly hair down to her thigh Oh my mother Oh my friends Ask the angels "Will I ever see heaven again?" Late into the evening, they would take each other screaming Looking darkly to the back of her eye The careless beast was bleating that the air behind was breathing That they musn't ever look up to the sky There are no answers There are found Ask the angels, "Am I heaven-bound?" Put it down to me I, who speak awkwardly Any word, if it is heard, is not intended to be Not for him, not for her Not for them, and not for me Oh and that gun will turn before the sun starts to burn, understand When the clouds roll in, we start paying for our sins With a gun in my hand and my sun at my shoulder Believe I will run before that boy gets older Oh and that gun will turn before the sun starts to burn, understand Oh and that gun will turn before the sun starts to burn, understand I am from Salinas where the women go forever And they never ever stop to ask why My mother, she's a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour With long, blond curly hair down to her thigh Oh my mother Oh my friends Ask the angels, “Will I ever see heaven again?” “Will I ever see heaven again?” “Will I ever see heaven again?” Punish them all, for they speak too much Hate the world for what it did to us Will I ever see heaven again? |

| Nirvana – Heart-Shaped Box Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
To me, this is about a femme fatale. A heart-shaped box is, well, guess. The magnet tar-trip implements the same. Magnet meaning the narrator is really drawn to it. Understandably. Meat-eating orchids is a reference to the Pink Floyd The Wall-movie in which two flowers were first seen mimicing love-making and moments afterwards, the 'female flower' tried to eat the 'male flower'. The singer is in love with her, but it's killing him. |

I thought the 'Put the wool over your eyes for a week or more' is about him getting better. Have a rest to improve. Instead of all the negative things said earlier. |

I don't think that's it, as it was Bruce and Baker who were continually fighting. Not Bruce and Clapton. |

| Cream – Pressed Rat And Warthog Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
To me, this is about a communist state. Ginger Baker said after playing this at the Royal Albert Hall in 2005: "It's too late for a part political broadcast" Why I think it's about communism is this: In a communist state, people do not have personal property. Now it happened that Pressed Rat and Warthog have closed down there shop, even though they didn't want to. Because it was all that they'd got. Then why did they close it? Because The Bad Captain Madman (ie. dicator-like figure) had told them to stop (stop the bussines/shop. ie. close the shop). What did they sell in the shop? Atonal apples, amplified heat and dog legs and feet. Stuff that's quite useless/rubbish. A communist state didn't have luxery goods and had bad quality goods. So they went round the corner and never came back, meaning they emerged with the communist state. (A communist state is a state in which the individual is completely inferior to the state) Just my 2 cents :-) |
