| Nico – Sixty/Forty Lyrics

Historically Sixty/Forty refers to bands who play 60% covers, 40% originals. Taking into account the NY references and the VU songs in Nico's live repertoire at the time, I think the song meaning becomes clear. |

| The Libertines – Death On The Stairs Lyrics
| 3 years ago
|
|
This song is about planning to kill a talented young actor by throwing him over a balcony in a stairwell.The matches refer to your plan to set fire to his hat first. The lines about "If you really need it..." are what you and your wasted friends will chant at him as he lies dying, telling him if he is as worthy of life as you, he won't leave life behind. The rest of it is just relief that you got away with it. |
