| U.K. – Carrying No Cross Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| An irreverent youth realizes the need for light in his empty world. His life is a "void" and then he finds God and "peace of mind". | |
| Kate Bush – Night of the Swallow Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
First and foremost, this is one of Kate's top 5 songs for me and I love all her music. I especially love the polytonal thing she does so incredibly with the first lines, specifically on the words "night" and "like". She is the *only* singer I know that can pull that off so elegantly. As to the meaning, it does seem like perhaps this couple is sympathetic to a certain cause (what that is we do not know) and the man wants to aid the cause by flying the getaway plane. There is a back and forth exchange in the lyric between the man and the woman. |

| Jethro Tull – Thick as a Brick (Parts 1 & 2) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
It seems pretty clear that those who follow others into war are thick as a brick. This lyric from the album sums the whole thing up neatly; "Would you be the fool stood in his suit of armour or the wiser man who rushes clear." |
