| Doves – Andalucia Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The key line is 'I can't stop to think of her with him'. The singer is reminiscing about wonderful times with his lover in Andalucia. She is now with another, which makes the memories painful and sweet in equal measure. A great song with a powerful emotional punch. |

| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Swing Low Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
A haunting and brilliant song, the lyrics and music running together perfectly. 'Swing low, save my soul' references 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot', the African-American spiritual. I can't find any references to Thomas Magee anywhere. He swallowed the key to something the narrator is desperate to obtain. So he breaks into the house and rips up all the furniture. Drugs reference? |
