| David Bowie – The Next Day Lyrics | 8 years ago |

@[Frangipanifleur:8377] - did you read that version of the bible where the devil is never mentioned nor quoted - what you seem to say is "don't make any arguments that use religion as a comparison or i will judge you as being a destructive human". how many people did david bowie ever murder.? what hatred did he ever incite? to be evil requires evil deeds. if he is still "satanic" then maybe satanism is not what the church tell you? personally i thought the song was about the necessary hypocrisies of banking and politics, but then i was never inclined to demonise someone instead of seeking their meaning. |

| The Birthday Party – Deep in the Woods Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| the feeling like "silence and darkness weaving a web, fettered with nothing at uttermost ebb" being down under deep in the woods of your stilness, waiting for the man to come and delivering yourself deeper into these comfortable woods by feeding yourself with a sharp metal object that parts the skin how it makes you feel dead and safe at the same time. | |

| he tried to love girls but could not make it stick? | |
| The Birthday Party – The Dim Locator Lyrics | 11 years ago |

| The Birthday Party – She's Hit Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
er - she's changed, she might have become pregnant or "now one of us" , the people have explanations for her mood-shift, but they are all wrong , he and she know it's almost like she was someone living in a sexually repressed household and now she has lost her innocence, you can't blame her for exploring what for (the first) 20 years of her life has been kept from her... |

| The Birthday Party – Several Sins Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| he may be telling us how he feels confronting his ma in her house when he has shot up and is feeling "dead"... he can feel her possible recognition of his state and has misgivings but is numb to them so states them matter of factly as he can do nothing about the situation now he is in it. | |

|
isn't her comparing his experience of heroin with sex, through imagery of seductive vampires ...? (then the cool machine would be a syringe) |

| The Birthday Party – Nick The Stripper Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| he seems to be wrestling with a sense of shame during 'the' act... | |
| The Birthday Party – Mutiny in Heaven Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| the reason the lyrics were written in dialectic was because the person who wrote it had obviously read nick cave's book: "and the ass saw the angel" which is every bit as cool as a cave album and written entirely in this way - you get used to it pretty quickly and is a great read unless you have problems with reading irvine welsh, or overly florid language in which case it may be too much for a few people to bear). | |
| The Birthday Party – Happy Birthday Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| i get a seriously traumatised picture of someone who was taken aside in private on his birthday and given a present that nobody would want... there is so much violent phallic imagery and beast noises plus the idea of sitting on a living body (dog chair) that makes me think nick cave had a seriously tormented youth... | |
| Cardiacs – Two Bites of Cherry Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
is there something in here about trying to get two bites of cherry (where normal society only allows one) ie: having an affair when already hitched...? with all the reasons for doing it and all the worries about it being dangerous... |

| i never was able to relax and have a nice time when my life circumstances were out of order... maybe paul felt similarly... | |
| Cardiacs – Big Ship Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| see i thought he just had a tedious dayjob and his anti-depressants make the workplace seem stupid and artificial and it all runs against the grain of his soul so he walks out and takes a break in a place where he can watch people going about with the meaningful parts of their lives. | |
| Cardiacs – The Everso Closely Guarded Line Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| is there something in here about not wanting to grow up and use a man's machine ( a car - to get to work) ? | |
| Cardiacs – Fiery Gun Hand Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| i think this is about Catholicism, priests and confession, maybe the jesus remark is just a guy's conscience giving him anxiety as he goes about his deed - just a guy offloading his junk into another guy's face, but as he tries to off himself he feels he will be judged by all that he learned in churches. he seems to survive unsmitten somehow as he is now having to tell his priest that he has nothing to report. | |

| Cardiacs – Buds and Spawn Lyrics | 11 years ago |

is this about liking some square person's girl? i could never say anything definite about tim's lyrics (syd barrett on speed, anyone?!) but i'm just starting to try and figure out his lyrical vocabulary... . there seems to be a lot of pent up resentment at the current situation coming through in the sound and rhythms - the protagonist seems to be complaining that the man is very square and institutional, maybe a church going person or someone who has a religious devotion to his job... . first - takes shelter from a storm second - it's someone's house already but he got in through sympathy so might be able to progress his hopes (and fears) third - he feels like a child uncertain of 'his parents' consent (eg: the couple might be breaking already and might want him to help them ease the process) fourth - if he's wrong the deeds all belong to him, he cannot admit her participation fifth - he decides to try it, although he does have sympathy for the guy, he reasons that all is fair in love and war... sixth - he will walk on the coals: ie take the chances believing that he's right; confident that the girl is indeed on his side. seventh - he's watching the guy for signs of his willingness and opportunity to move away peacefully eighth - when the guy is away working, time is agonisingly stretched out with our man's sense of the beauty that might never become fully his. he is also concerned that the girl's body language or modes of speech will be affected and that the guy will notice this and smell a rat. ninth - the husband may be an alcoholic: he is washed into such bland personality via the remedies he takes when at home for all the stress of the day. he has no mental energy left to stand for anything outside of his work and he rejects the danger of organ damage from his self abuse, believing himself to be too necessary in his work for toxins to harm him. tenth - he points out that all her husband is is his job: all she sees of him is when he is dissolved into his bed of chair and he is not really there for her pleasure at all, unlike our protagonist. eleventh - because she has no appetite at the end of the day (the feeling that would have belonged to the husband has been stolen by our man) the husband is left to 'wash out' his own dirt in the mud and the rain (!) twelfth - maybe something about the secret's easier to keep than he thought it would be as there is enough 'air and noise' going on for the subtle changes he'd previously worried about to go unnoticed. thirteenth - preserver: he has to act the hypocritical part of seeming to wish for the couple's survival also watching her have to try to seem as if she's on both their sides at once. fourteenth - this guy's getting a bit older than our man,, so he's not afraid of a squeaking contest, fifteenth - as your communications are now not about the same noise that they appear to be, you are advised to keep your communications discrete , you are likely to become visible sixteenth - a restatement of the previous: trying to navigate these girl/boy situations can put your heads in a whirls: doing so indiscretely can cause bruises so shriek thin, those of you who might be highly visible. seventeenth - next to take her back, the break that never works - the moment of revelation never goes smoothly, however well planned you think you've got your situation, in fact he delays acting in case of having nothing at all left after secrets have come out, so now it seems to him the right thing to do is to continue to seem as if he wants them to carry on together - continue to keep his secret (it's unclear whether she knows of his intentions) whilst he is sure that their lost love will shake their bones apart from each other like dust and glue so that our guy can begin something with her. eighteenth - he still cannot speak openly - he has to keep any communications discrete: his shrieks must be thin nineteenth - we are exhorted to ensure that we all come out of these triangles on the correct sides so that what is produced from these moments will be fruitful and we will be able to get have good relations with people in the wake of such times as these. twentieth - we insult the husband again - going through his defects or virtues as though all were insults twenty first - he complements the girl : finally gets around to calling her beautiful and puts himself in a compromising position... then it becomes uncertain (does the husband interrupt them?) or... twenty second - our guy seems to reach his goal and begin to revel in her, fulfilling his own need to feel complete and shiny and beautiful like a peacock twenty third - if you never use them...? |
