| Squeeze – Up The Junction Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| For people not familiar with South London, Clapham Junction is a well-known / important railway transport hub. Locally it’s known as ‘The Junction’ and is a clever call back when the singer says he’s up the junction after his relationship with the girl from Clapham ends. The windy common he mentions in the first verse is most likely Clapham Common. It does have some local infamy as place where people can meet for liaisons – just Google Ron Davis Clapham Common. | |
| White Lies – Mother Tongue Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
It seems to be about a young woman who has moved to a big city and is partying hard. Staying up all night, snorting coke and drinking. As part of this she is trying to distance herself from he past provincial life. Both in softening her regional accent ("kiss the twang from my lips)" and not keeping in touch with people back home ("having trouble placing who's calling on the phone"). Mother tongue in this song referring to their regional accent / past roots. |
