Christ that is so total child abuse song. I guess not many people have heard it. It was on Hatful of Hollow compilation album, no? I got it off kazzaa. |

What the fuck has this song got to do with Iraq or a current war? You're getting a bit stupid, no? I'm with Cokes. |

| The Smiths – That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore Lyrics

I think its simply about lonliness. I don't know if its its aimed at one particular individual or at the whole cultre of the "social elite" insulting people "below" themselves. |

| The Smiths – Reel Around the Fountain Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
it doesn't condone child abuse of course, but I think there is a very valid interpretation that its about some kind of child abuse:
"It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old"
I don't think its about love so much but maybe there is quite a great feeling between the two concerned. |

| The Smiths – There Is a Light That Never Goes Out Lyrics

Excuse me "Miss Chainsaw", but how could you think that
"And if a double-decker bus
crashes in to us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die"
was not about true love??????
It is and I'm with Chloe Le Fav on the afraid of rejection idea.
The bit about "its not my home" is also about rejection, a feeling of not being good enough or accepted by your own family. |

Chloe Le Fay is right.
Its all gay obviously and it is about confusion and always worrying what over people think bout things you do when maybe you should just do it? |

| John Lennon – Working Class Hero Lyrics

I don't think the songs about society or the powerful people in society. It's about working class cultre and the treatment of the young by the adults, the lack of encouragement, belief and love. |

| The Smiths – I Know It's Over Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
Man, this song can get me through a lot too. It lets out all the emotion. Makes me cry EVERY time.
I too think the 'If your so funny/clever/entertaining/good looking, then why are you on your own tonight' part is the most true statement ever.
And the poignant bit is when the second guitar comes in I feel. |

| Dead Kennedys – California Über Alles Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
To me "California Uber Alles", Califrnia over everything or whatever, means how important California is for anypresidentail candidate to win, it having most seats in Electoral College and being partial to swing between Democrat and Republican. So its California over everything, California is the most imporatant. Although I also think it ties in with the whole Nazi Anthem thing as well.
For this song, its all in the title. The rest is easy. |

| Amen – Justified Lyrics

Amen aren't really a punk band, it is true that its more metal. But not in the modern sense of the word. Hypocracy, eh? Yes OK the Church is hypocritical, but in 2001 I remember a Casey Choas refusing to play the main stage at Reading Festival because he "Hated fucking arena rock".
Summer 2002, where was his band proudly billed? Yep, main stage. Sell out? |

Yes, pretty obviously about the fashion shit. And yeah Amen are great and amazing live, but they were better before Casey Choas reorganised his back-line. |

Sir commenting slag is right there are two narraters. No way is this about a vision that has scarred somone for life. The insert to the Very Best of The Pougues, where I reckognise Sir_commenting_slag's comments from, supports this idea. |

| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan cover) Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
|
How could any of you people think this song is about something so superficial and obvious as the Viet Nam War?! The reasoning put forward by CoNjOutsidersLsSm is so amazingly pathetic. It was written by Bob Dylan, the greatest artist, songwriter and lyricist that ever lived. He was such an inventer. Making a song about the Viet Nam war is more like jumping on the bandwagon. To think that Dylan would make a song so easily interpretable is plain stupid. Ok Hendrix may have turned it into an anthem for the anti-war movement, but it was certainly not Dylan's idea. If you knew anything about the time at which Dylan wrote it you would know that his time of great political comment was already over. And anyway when he did make statements they weren't so obvious or popular. I go with a mix between the Biblical context and the reason on the link given by the 6th Sadistic Sniper. It does truly make more sense. All through Dylan's career he made songs about Biblical and historical ideas. The Nam idea is way off. Even on the "John Wesley Harding" LP Dylan, in the titlae track and on most other tracks is narrating and its all historical. No way is it Nam, hes not that obvios. |
