| Lou Reed – Perfect Day Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
OK people...it may sound like its about a relationship, however, that is a METAPHOR for the "relationship" with heroin. People said it was about heroin BEFORE trainspotting came along, and Lou said himself that it was about heroin.
Just as "there she goes" by the Las is about heroin but written as if it was about a person. |

| The Who – Dr. Jimmy Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
The way that the "is it me" bit contrasts with the rest is supposed to reflect Jimmy's 2 personalities refered to in the song.
Oh, and "doctor Jimmy and mr Jim" is a reference to "dr jeckl and mr hyde", a story about a man who has 2 personalities, a good guy and a monster. |

| The Smiths – A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
"everyday is like sunday" has absolutely NOTHING to do with war! it is about one of those seaside towns (very much like the one i live in) that is now pretty empty.
"a rush an a push..." also has nothing to do with Vietnam, and actually comes from something once said by Oscar Wilde's mum. |

the idea that it's about linder stirling is much more obvious in "miserable lie" but i still think it's quite likely that this song is as well. |

| The Smiths – Sheila Take a Bow Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
i don't agree with the "boy and girl in love" idea because i think the line "come out and find the one that you love and who loves you" refers to the idea that she should get out a bit more and find someone to go out with and , well basically, get a life really!!!
Also, the line "how can someone so young sing words so sad" is a lot like "the girl least likely to" because the girl in that song is also a young, female, singer/songwriter and quite possibly a female counterpart of morrissey. |

is "GRAVEly read the STONES" a pun on GRAVESTONES? and is morrissey a bit of a hypocrite to tell you not to plagiarise when half his lyrics are taken from some poem or other?!?!? |

i love this song because it's lyrics are clever but so simple at the same time. but as practically everyone has said before, the acoustic one is so much better |

er...kilby, don't you find it strange how this song is telling people that they should accept themselves when at the same time this was written , morrissey was doing the exact opposite!?!?! |

| The Smiths – Frankly, Mr. Shankly Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
Most people don't get the line:
"i want to catch something that i might be ashamed of"
because it's about STDs and they think "well, who would want to catch an STD" but actually it's about being so deperate for a partner of any kind that they couldn't care less where they've been before. |

| The Smiths – You've Got Everything Now Lyrics

i think the line "you are your mothers only son" refers to the two people in the song (the singer and the one he's singing about) being brothers but the rich sucessful one is their mothers only son in her eyes |

i was told it was about a girl who was raped (which explains the line "you kicked and cried like a bulied child") and ended up pregnant but couldnt get an abortion so after she gave birth she drowned the baby because she knew she couldn't look after her. But, then again, i could be wrong. |
