| Stereolab – Les Yper-sound Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This is a song about a break-up. The inevitability of having to split up possessions. It's a mutual decision in this song, but they are looking for reasons to be mad at each other so that they can feel more justified in their decision to split. | |
| Badly Drawn Boy – Once Around The Block Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
As for an ecplanation of the song's meaning. It is kind of obvious. This is a song about a relationship that hasn't really worked, but still shows potential. He's stymied by this girl because their communication hasn't been the greatest. This song is saying that they have gone everywhere, but all they need to do is start fresh. Starting over is what is best for them... possibly. |

| Super Furry Animals – Receptacle For The Respectable Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| My take was that it is about being sold out by someone you really trusted. Receptable for the Respectable, meaning the trash can for the powerful | |
| Better Than Ezra – Desperately Wanting Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Umm... I think some people are missing the point here, and leave it to the Frat boys to make everything about Frat life. If there was ever a song about a friend who died from a drug overdose, this is the song. He's talking about a girl who was out a lot like him, and drugs are what killed her. She wasn't welcome at her house due to her life choices. How could anyone miss the part about pumping out guts? Desperately Wanting... drug addiction. Someone has died, and the friend is remembering them, while having to defend accusations from outsiders... read the chorus. |

| Fleetwood Mac – Songbird Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Quite possibly the most romantic song ever written. The thought that a man could deserve to have a song written for him like this is amazing. Christine McVeigh, I love your work. |

| Talking Heads – This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song is my favourite song of all time. Possibly the most romantic, and it is about returning to the one you love. The only song more romantic? Songbird by Fleetwood Mac. | |
| Talking Heads – Life During Wartime Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song is actually about life as a struggling musician on tour. The life of a travelling musician relating this to being a war. Making money, and getting gigs is part of the war. Talking about lack of food ("I got some groceries, some peanut butter, to last a couple of days"), and talking about the uselessness of a degree or education as a musician ("burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? they won't help me survive) But he talks about other cities, as if he were about to travel there. All of the cities being American cities, "Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?", yet he talks about the places that they are familiar with like the CBGB's and the Muddclub. It's about being a struggling band, concentrating on making a living on the road. |
