| Paul Weller – Dust & Rocks Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I believe the correct lyrics are these: Well she's waiting by the window with a fading tear That will slip into tomorrow and have no fear. She may look back and blame you- but you only blame yourself. And what good would it all do you if you thought she blamed herself? It's a lonely life as bits of dust and rocks, When you shake it off it's all you have. In the time it takes to find another space Get to live again, she'll run and run. Still she's waiting by the window with a faded tear. Well she looks upon high flying silver dream how she wishes how She could climb aboard, never coming back, turn on it all. Find another space Get to live again Find the other parts Of little planets that are Coursing through your veins Bits of dust and rocks Don't get to shake them off She'll run and run. Still she's waiting by the window- she has no fear. My interpretation is that this is about feeling possibly a break up or otherwise life changing event in the life of the narrator and the subject, and that the subject (she) is looking to escape into a new world. |

Fairly sure that it's: "Go on and laugh it up without me" rather than "Oh wanna love it up without me". It's an awesome track- outro is just epic. I've been struggling with the story behind this but I've narrowed it down in my mind to it being about the narrator meeting a girl who has become desensitised to happiness and so has to do more drugs to keep her on an even keel. I'm not sure about the break. To me it sounds like a change in narrator, but from who's perspective I don't know. The last verse and outro feels to me like it's about the moment the drugs are presented. From the trepidation in the narrators description, it sounds like he's not overly keen on the idea but see's no other options. What kind of drugs would be contained in 'clips' I'm not sure but as it leads into that euphoric and primal sounding outro that kind of makes sense to me. Or I could have gotten it very wrong! |

| Glen Hansard – Talking with the Wolves Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Saw him at Latitude Festival this year (an awesome performance, as an aside) and he introduced it along the lines of: `This is a song about people seeing everything as a sign and, well, it isn't always. You can talk to the wolves, but they're just looking at you as if you're food! So don't take things so seriously and just ride it out.` | |
