Sounds like Stuart is singing "The Sheet" rather than "The Sheep" The sheet that was cut Caught the blood Was opened The sheet that was cut Caught the blood Was opened and dried Sheet that was cut and caught the blood Was opened and dried And stretched out Sheet that was cut and caught the blood Was opened, dried and stretched out Hung on the wall The sheet that was cut Caught the blood Was opened The sheet that was cut Caught the blood Was opened and dried Sheet that was cut and caught the blood Was opened and dried And stretched out Sheet that was cut and caught the blood Was opened, dried and stretched out Hung on the wall source: https://lyricsondemand.com/tindersticks/tiedye |

| Sham 69 – Hurry Up Harry Lyrics | 4 months ago |
| Jimmy Pursey said he had a old English Shepherd dog called Harry. The story was that Jimmy took Harry over to the pub and the man who owns the pub looked after the dog while the band went on tour. There is another storyline he said about a man losing his job and money and he goes down the pub. https://youtu.be/jIBg-n-ATsU?si=bgxUVhbHj-2Ojx-K | |

| Slowdive – When the Sun Hits Lyrics | 7 months ago |
| One of my friends, lost his wife to cancer. She was slowly passing in hospital. She knew she had minutes left and asked for everyone to leave her hospital room except her husband and they hugged and held hands until she passed. This song makes me think of that moment "Sweet thing I watch you burn away..." | |

| Cocteau Twins – Musette and Drums Lyrics | 8 months ago |
| I think its about the Shakespeare tragedy play "Romeo and Juliet". Juliet was only thirteen years old in the play. Liz is definitely singing "Tragedy", "She's turned 13 years old" and I hear "Second chance" rather than "Seven drums" | |

Bills and aches and blues And poor little everything else But still more unstable Eyes of glass Not get passed off through my bird lips As good news Still being cried and laughed at from behind Don't fall behind this From this much I've missed Bills and aches and blues And bills and aches and blues Bills and aches and blues And poor little everything else But still more unstable Eyes of glass Not get passed off through my bird lips As good news You'll hang the hearts black And dull as the night You hanged your past and start being As you in ecstasy Still being cried and laughed at before Should I be sewn and hugged? I can by not saying Still being cried and laughed at From light to blue I should I be hugged and tugged down Through this tiger's masque? And should I be sewn and unbroken By not saying? Can by not saying You'll hang the hearts black And dull as the night Still being cried and laughed down from behind these formed beasts You hanged your past and start being As you in ecstasy Still being cried and laughed down from behind these formed beasts Should I be soon and hugged? I can by not saying Still being cried and laughed down from behind these formed beasts Hugged and tugged down through this tiger's masque I've made |

| Supergrass – Sun Hits The Sky Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
A song with a positive outlook on life. The sun hits the sky symbolises a radiant and uplifting atmosphere. The verses point to a freedom of expression and that we shouldn't be tongue tied and repressed but should speak openly and be honest. The Doctor in the chorus can be associated with someone who is healing, understanding and gives positive guidance. The lyrics overall show that we should avoid negative influences that hold us back and have a positive state of mind |

| The Wytches – Digsaw Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| The song makes me think its about a bad dream. A bad dream where you think that strange and dark things that are happening are important and it haunts you a bit when you wake up. Lots of symbolism in the lyrics where tears are like lightbulbs and a woman is taking all the light. | |

Blood woman Blood bitch There is a corona A corona swelling Pressing hands against the scar There's no warmth There's no warmth to be felt Sometimes it's called water Sometimes it's called flame Neither one or the other Has much form or shape Cold burns powerful Has powerful needs Holds back whispered words of fire I'll paint the blood bitch The blood bitch black Lift up your heels You'll see burnt soles |

The above is wrong. Sorry. It should be:- I cannot come and play today My mummy says I'm in disgrace I wanna enjoy my Action Man But I am stuck inside this place Incarcerated I will be Trapped inside forever Everybody laughs at me Because my name is Simon I cannot come and play today My mummy says I'm in disgrace I wanna enjoy my Action Man But I am stuck inside this place |

| Cardiacs – Dog-Like Sparky Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Great song. I agree that it's written from the perspective of the Dog. I think the meaning is anti-religion. The underlying message is: Do dogs (like Sparky) need to believe in anything to get through life? Answer - no. And with that understanding we want to be - Dog-like Sparky. | |
| Cardiacs – The Everso Closely Guarded Line Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| One of my favourite Cardiac songs. Their lyrics are wrapped up in hidden meanings. I think Tim is trying to come to terms with the struggle of life and the inevitable fate of death. Is there a meaning behind life or are we all a obsurd bunch of people running around without rhyme or reason? Get well Tim! We miss you. | |

I can't believe how far out I was on the lyrics. Here are the correct lyrics for this taken from the album:- Naked girl on the corner, waiting for the cars Standing under a white street light, and she looks at me like I come from Mars This seriousity, hits like a hammer and I’m just trying to be Forever in love with the Glamour Had to make her visit, found I couldn’t wait Three more strokes on the painting and nothing on the tape This heaviosity, hits like a hammer and I’m just trying to be Forever in love with the Glamour On a side of a mountain, drinking gin and vermouth This kind of money is very nice but er what is it I do? This seriousity, hits like a hammer and I’m just trying to be Forever in love with This heaviosty, hits like a hammer and I’m just trying to be Forever in love with the Glamour, the Glamour The Glamour, The Glamour |

| Frank Black has previously written songs with references to the Old Testament (i.e. Gouge Away and Samson) and this may have something to do with Noah's Ark.

| Snow Patrol – Run Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It's definitely "girlfriend in a coma" scenario. He's sitting beside the hospital bed trying to communicate with his love one who may never regain conciousness..."Even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear" - great song and a real choker! Re-read the lyrics with the coma in mind..it's pretty obvious. | |
