| The Housemartins – Caravan Of Love Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
That's Hull for you, dentie! First Housemartins song I heard (not surprising given it was their only no.1), got one of their best of's today and it's fantastic! Shame they were so short lived, but they went on to much greater things! |

| Kaiser Chiefs – Team Mate Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this is a perfect way to end an album which was so chock-full of mindlessly loud riffs and choruses! It's really haunting and I think the lyrics are fairly transparent... | |
| Robbie Williams – Feel Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This reminds me, in terms of lyrical content, of many of Morrissey's songs about love and how hard it is to find. Morrissey is, of course, abstinant | |
| The Beautiful South – Closer Than Most Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Personally I think it's about rushing into a relationship but having a great time doing so. Could be biased though - that's exactly what I did! | |
| Voltaire – Dead Girls Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Pretty sure this is tongue-in-cheek although the subject matter IS disgusting. Very cool song, though. Like if Tim Burton met Morrissey they'd make something along these lines.. | |
| Arctic Monkeys – Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
There seems to be an alternate second verse... it was on the IBYLGOTD Single... "You don't know what she's upto You can only assume If she's not on the front of the shops, then They've gone to his room Bet she's gone round in her school stuff Bet that's what he likes I know you thought she were different, And you thought she were nice But she's not nice She's pretty fucking far from nice She's looking at you funny Rarely looking at you twice" |

| Daniel Powter – Bad Day Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I actually got to see the video today. and I think it quite matches my interpretation at one point: the subway poster, which the guy and girl keep drawing on. The girl is always putting a negative side to the picture which the guy keeps trying to change to make it positive. | |
| Real Life – Send Me An Angel Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Zeromancer, a German Industrial group, did an awesome cover of this too, which I thoroughly recommend | |
| Right Said Fred – You're My Mate Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| "All i wanna do is get drunk here with you" | |
| The Spooks – Karma Hotel Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Wouldn't it make more sense for the guy to be called "Mephisto"? I mean, it's an alternative name for the Satan's right-hand man, Mephistopheles, which seems to fit with the "demonic" theme of the song... | |
| Timo Maas – First Day (feat. Brian Molko and Jo Kate) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Well, "first day of the rest of your life" suggests somekind of rebirth or renewal... but the first stanza, along with the line "You'll remember me, for the rest of your life", confuse the meaning a bit... Anyone got any better ideas? |
|
| Daniel Powter – Bad Day Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I personally envision a completely different meaning to this song (having not seen the video, and been having some unpleasant experiences as of late). I see it as "I" (i.e. Powter) trying to convince someone ("you" in the song) who's having a rough time, and is basically depressed, to snap out of it - the "bad day" is symbolic of the whole period of depression. Trouble is, the one he's singing about isn't making it easy for him. She's in a vicious cycle of depression and refuses to even try and get out: "You stand in the line just to hit a new low You're faking a smile with the coffee you go You tell me your life's been way off line" And the guy's starting to get weary from it: "You're falling to pieces everytime And I don't need no carryin' on " 'cause however much he tries to convince her of her worth, she denies it and remains firmly depressed: "You say you don't know You tell me don't lie " But he keeps trying because he knows that one day he'll break through to her: "You might not make it back and you know That you could be well all that strong And I'm not wrong" Okay, so not all the lyrics fit, but on the most part this is how I see things. Like I said, I've been through this experience later and this song's been quite comforting... |

| Lemon Jelly – Nice Weather for Ducks Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| My god... this song is just absolutely fantastic!! It gets me in a good mood everytime I hear it! Great song for first thing in the morning, trust me! | |
| Amy Studt – Misfit Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
You go girl!! This song has a great feel to it, with a real kick-arse message of "I'm not gonna act like you just because it's 'cool', I'm proud to be my own person" Also, apparently, the "Happy Clappies" and "V.C. Crew" were some of the cliques that existed in Amy's school. Anyone seen Mean Girls? I think this is a good supplement to that film! |
|
| Scissor Sisters – Lovers In The Backseat Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Yeah, sounds to me like a voyeuristic cab driver... | |
| The Rembrandts – I'll Be There For You Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Don't really like Friends... it's good for cheap laughs. This song, on the other hand, is awesome! I could listen to this anytime and it will put me in a good mood! Not many songs can do that for me! |
|
| Darren Hayes – Darkness Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Call me crazy, but some lines in this strike me as being told from the viewpoint of God? e.g. - "I am famous for my generosity They say I am the kindest It is easier to give than receive love, give than receive love" |
|
| New Radicals – Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Any ideas why they chose to sing a completely different song to the one written in the book? Or maybe it's summed up in the post script: "So cynical, so hip, so full of shit They told us to shut the fuck up and write another hit" |
|
| New Radicals – You Get What You Give Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Interesting point about the star-insulting in this one. The tabloids and music press all picked up on it, and made a big deal out of it. When Gregg Alexander was asked for comment, he said he threw that in there to prove a point, and it worked. His point was that the media would focus on causing trouble between artists, and that they would ignore the first few lines of the end bit (Health insurance rip off lying FDA big bankers buying, Fake computer crashes dining, Cloning while they're multiplying) Supposedly, anyway. |

| Fatboy Slim – Weapon Of Choice Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| No idea what the song means, but I can't listen to it without envisioning the brilliant Chris Walken dancing around in my head! | |
| Space – The Ballad Of Tom Jones Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Think it's pretty clear what this is about... reminds me of Beautiful South's "A Little Time" but with more bile! | |
| The Streets – Not Addicted Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Incidentally, Mike Skinner (The Streets' main man) is recovering from a gambling addiction... so he writes from experience! | |
| Goldfrapp – Utopia Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Though I can't work out what it's about at all, I think it's definitely the best song on the album! | |
