| The Blood Brothers – Jennifer Lyrics
| 21 years ago

I think you guys are totally missing the most important lines of the song. "Don't shady pasts make for interesting broadcasts? And human error is never an acceptable answer."
It seems like it's about (like many blood brothers songs) exposing corruption. The narrator has photos of Jennifer in "an uncomprimising positition" (sexual?), which he then broadcasts for amusement, despite her attempt to bribe him out of it.
Duh. |

Style is too loose? He is one of the most unique artists around, completely blows Jaco Wooten and Hamm out of the water in the ways of style. Only Les can play like Les, nevermind the fact that he's always dead on accurate even with the most difficult rhythms with a fucking six string bass which by the way is insanely difficult to manage in the first place. Les is not just a groove-machine, he is THE groove-machine. |

I freaking love this song. A serious departure from their usual style, it just shows how versatile these guys can be. Besides, the lyrics are amazing. Calvin Klein down in flames. I wish. |

| Radiohead – Idioteque Lyrics

Honestly I think people say that every Radiohead song is random phrases and they heard that from a viable source but it seems like there is a deeper connection most of the time. If there is a connection, it lies in disaster, obviously (we're not scaremongering, this is really happening) and probably in a war, resulting in the end of the human race, or at least a destruction of the atmosphere (who's in a bunker? Women and children first ... Ice age coming). The ice age line seems to immediately rule out global warming, but it could be some other natural disaster, like a meteor strike to bring another ice age, like with the dinosaurs. But "throw it on the fire" to me sounds like something intentional, like there is one person who is preparing to cause this disaster. The narrator of the song seems to have some sort of contempt or at least non-chalance for the survival of humanity (laugh until my head comes off), or possibly he is laughing out of fear?(I have seen too much) There is apparently a last minute panic and either a riot breaks out or the narrator alone steals money from the abandoned buildings (take the money run) and gourges on all that is left behind from people, stealing and doing as he pleases (swallow till I burst... here I'm allowed everything all the time). Granted, I am making assumptions here, but that seems to be the best connection of each and every line. The title would refer to the idiocy of the human race, idioteque being a place full of idiots. This could either refer back to the narrator's opinion or our insatiable need for war.
God only knows what "first of the children" is supposed to mean other than refering to the album's theme of human cloning. |

The creepy feeling of the harmony in the beginning is unmatched. That and the mention of the flies and "down there" should point to death. In my opinion, the first part of the song is being sung by a corpse or ghost of sorts, a friend of the singer who died and is beckoning to the singer. The singer wants to join the deceased because of grief, but he knows he will regret his suicidal tendencies. |
