At the Drive-In – Ursa Minor Lyrics 23 years ago
Hey...Ursa Minor is the place of business of the publisher of The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy :D

And the astrological encyclopedia says:

Abbreviation: UMi
Genitive: Ursae Minoris
Translation: The Lesser Bear

Position in the Sky:
Right Ascension: 15 hours
Declination: 70 degrees
Visible between latitudes 90 and -10 degrees
Best seen in June (at 9:00 PM)

The constellation Ursa Minor contains the group of stars commonly called the Little Dipper. The handle of the Dipper is the Little Bear's tail and the Dipper's cup is the Bear's flank. The Little Dipper is not a constellation itself, but an asterism, which is a distinctive group of stars. Another famous asterism is the Big Dipper in the constellation Ursa Major.

The most famous star in Ursa Minor is Polaris, the North Star. This is the star that is nearest to the North Celestial Pole. If you stood at the north pole, Polaris would be almost directly overhead. If you can spot Polaris in the sky, you can always tell which way is north. In addition, the angle of Polaris above the horizon tells you your latitude on the Earth. Because of this, Polaris was the most important star for navigating at sea. [...]

Well, yeah.

Tocotronic – Alles wird in Flammen stehen Lyrics 23 years ago
"Dieser Ort war ohnehin
Im streng geographischen Sinn
Nicht existent
Ständig schwebte über ihm
Ein dünner Film der mich umfing
Ich hatte das auch schon erwähnt
Dort wo die Lilien sich verwirren
Möchte ich dich berühren
Du weißt worum es geht

Alles wird in Flammen stehen
Wenn wir uns sehen

Man muß verstehen

Wie so oft in meinem Leben
Ließ ich mich von einem Bild bewegen
Meinetwegen
Kann alles hier in Flammen stehen
Man kann ein nichtlöschbares Feuer sehen
Die Bruderschaft
Der dunklen Macht
Kann uns verstehen
So will die Welt zu Grunde gehen
Wenn wir am Zauberwürfel drehen

In Flammen [16x]"


Only two corrections.

Tocotronic – Der schönste Tag in meinem Leben Lyrics 23 years ago
What's wrong?
This is a real lyric from a real german band with the right to exist here. So don't get upset.

Here's the translation...
"The best day of my life

The best day of my life was a thursday
on the street on the parking site in front of the supermarket
at all the abhorred locos where nothing ever happens
in the passage where no one strolls any longer

anywhere I never use to be
in this pretty lovely city
anywhere I never use to be
and where no one saw me

I looked around
and I was alone
and without any reason
I was happy to be

And I grubbed with my hand
In my bags and I found
a note and on it i See

It's the best day of my life
Best day of my life"

Tocotronic – Die Idee ist gut, doch die Welt noch nicht bereit Lyrics 23 years ago
Title: The idea is great but the world not ready yet

Do go to the train station
in the so-called springtime
say "Hello" to a stranger
who comes off a train
buy him a coke
in the cafeteria vis-a-vis
perhaps he has some problems
and wants to talk about them

probably he has no time at all
the idea's great but the world not ready yet

do drive by bike
in a different urban area
say "Hello" to a girl
who has overlooked you at first
buy her ice-cream
stracciatella or nut
perhaps she's depressed by something
she needs to talk about

probably she has no time at all
the idea is great but the world not ready yet

yesterday, at half past two a.m.
I made a song
and I call a friend
in the middle of the night
And I sing it to her through the phone
and it says "I love you"
shortly before I hang up
I feel ashamed

probably she has no time at all
the idea is great but the world not ready yet"

Tocotronic – Ich glaube, ich habe meine Unschuld verloren Lyrics 23 years ago
Title: I think, I lost my virginity

"I just woke up
with the bad conscience to miss something
I pondered
my crown sunk in my pillow

And I'm realizing
It won't be no more as it was

Oh, everything is new
Everything is different
My clothes don't suit me anymore
I know that taste in my mouth
But I don't know where from

And it becomes clear to me
And I even believe

Oh, I believe I have,
I think I have
lost my virginity

Oooooh"

Tocotronic – Ich habe geträumt, ich wäre Pizza essen mit Mark E. Smith Lyrics 23 years ago
English title is:
I dreamt I went out and ate a pizza with Mark E. Smith

Quite cool, huh?

"I dreamt I went out and ate a pizza with Mark E. Smith
Of course he told me how hideous everything is
We talked and sat, nearly all the night
In the end he told me how you make cd's
I myself would've never thought about that
but I've sort of spent the night with Mark E. Smith"

Radiohead – Idioteque Lyrics 23 years ago
well yeah. a monger is a kind of merchant, is that right? i just looked it up in a dictionary, cos i'm not a native speaker.

and we all know, what scare means...maybe thom wants to say that people aren't trading with fear or angst or whatever you may call it, but that the fear is legitimated because we destroy our environment.

Stereophonics – I Stopped To Fill My Car Up Lyrics 23 years ago
awesome voice and music.

a wonderful song that builds up a strange image in my head. it always reminds me of a kind of kidnapping or so. when i first listened to this song, i was really scared and afraid somehow. but "well i just made up this story, to get your attention makes me smile" makes quite clear, that kelly (i think, he himself wrote this lyrics) isn't serious about this. nice point.

Marilyn Manson – Rock 'n' Roll Nigger (Patti Smith cover) Lyrics 23 years ago
this is a cover. the original song is by patti smith, i think.

it's about being different and not fitting into society. nigger is just a symbol for that.

Tool – Disposition Lyrics 23 years ago
no one ever said i'm gonna kill this and that. that's stupid. who's saying that doesn't know the real thing tool are about. so. yeah.

and that song, whoa, what to say...everything has already been said and the only thing i can do is agree. don't only listen to disposition but also to reflection, because these two songs are one unit.
maybe disposition is about the birth and the childhood of a person, you know, very calm, relaxing and just smoothing, no difficult things at all.
reflection is the life, the adult life, first because it's much longer than disposition. also the music is heavier and rising to a kind of raging state. at the end the person is realizing that life is a huge reflection, maybe a repetition, but until the end of his life, he wants to reach a bit (before i hide away => before i die?) to change that reflection because it should become a bit better than the ones before.
life is getting harder and harder but in the end it's worth nothing. is it that!? i don't know.
it all ends with the death. calm and relaxing as the birth. that's the reason why you can repeat these two songs over and over again.
i love it. it's amazing.

Nirvana – Dumb Lyrics 23 years ago
it is about being different.

and it is about a person that is absolutely not satisfied with his life. depressing and "down-pushing" feelings are all what his life's about...and if he gets to know to wonderful feelings, just like love (isn't that, what it's all about?), which is a naturally thing for many people, who are not "different" just as he is, he thinks that he is somehow "dumb", that these aren't real things, he isn't experiencing this just because of his doubts about himself. he never got used to these things, probably because of his difference. many "normal" people (as they call themselves) change their boy-/girlfriends just like underpants and that's not what love is about for HIM.
