| Pink Floyd – Not Now John Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| @[inpraiseoffolly:4113] I get what your saying but I think in some ways your argument proves why it should on the album and where it's placed. Yes there's no emotion to the song and it's different but I think what's intended is very prophetic and it is of the times we are facing now. Basically the world has gone "full blown" capitalistic and no one gives a toss about anyone or anything anymore it's about making money. So morales have gone out the door, stuff the environment and if we have to invade a country so the rich can become richer at the expense of the poor, so be it. While this attitude is prevailing of profit at all costs not many are noticing we are sliding into the third world war, but I can see and so can others this is happening now, very slowly. That's why the song is boom, it is boom times. Then it's followed by calm at the start of Two Suns in the Sunset. Just a normal day until the Nuclear Beast in unleashed... | |

@Jaspin Demothenese I also think these two verses here "And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear" are about Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). |

| Cat Stevens – Matthew And Son Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| The way I look at it Cat Stevens wrote this song thinking how lucky he was to be a successful musician and not a faceless employee of a company. It also sounds like it was written in times of a recession, where workers rights are trampled on because if you don't go that extra bit for the boss, you could be the next one made redundant. This is what I think the song means. It sums up a job I had in the late 80's early 90's Australia when we were in a deep recession. I worked for a really bad company and the boss knew there were no jobs out there so he treated everyone like crap. People asked for a raise he would say "leave the company if you don't like it". Constant threats of redundancy made workers do stuff in their own time. Also don't be late to work or from a break otherwise you got a written warning... It's definitely a song about the struggling working class against the bosses... | |
