| Helen Love – Debbie Loves Joey Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
She met him 1980 in a school disco He kissed her for the first time on the last bus home He said "You be DEBBIE HARRY, I'll be JOEY RAMONE" She saw shooting stars flash by The moon exploded in the sky Her heart flipped when they kissed Star dust on her lips Special vat in the dark Getting pissed in the park She's in love, she's in love And when they walked down town all the people would stare They used to laugh at her clothes and the colour of her hair She was 17 and she didn't care ‘Cos baby's gonna take her everywhere ‘Cos he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own She was DEBBIE HARRY He was JOEY RAMONE Yeah he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own ‘Cos she was DEBBIE HARRY He was JOEY, he was JOEY RAMONE When she met him she was standing in a pure white light He said "d'ya like the SEX PISTOLS, have you got a light?" And all the stars were shining on a perfect Saturday night Holding him tight Kissing him in the dark In the back of daddys car Have a drink have a laugh Do you want my autograph No school summers out Make me wanna twist and shout Down on the beaches looking at the peaches When they walked down town all the people would stare They used to laugh at her clothes and the colour of her hair She was 17 and she didn't care ‘Cos baby's gonna take her everywhere ‘Cos he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own She was DEBBIE HARRY He was JOEY RAMONE Yeah he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own ‘Cos she was DEBBIE HARRY He was JOEY, he was JOEY RAMONE ‘Cos he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own She was DEBBIE HARRY He was JOEY RAMONE Yeah he said they'd live in New York And the stars would be their own ‘Cos she was DEBBIE HARRY He was JOEY, he was JOEY RAMONE |

Ok, corrected lyrics: So keep me safe from harm I promise to do my best So stop me unraveling, stardust and sawdust Conquered the sea, made its peace with me There's no security in purity So keep a special song, learn to play for me Keep a stubborn heart safe from villainy Stared at your sky through Bob Dylan's eyes Just another baby blue that will break you Save you and mistake you Believe in you and deceive you Electrify and upset you Get drunk with you and secure you My shoes are not made for walking My eyes are not made for crying My voice is not made for singing My heart is not made for breaking Fell out of bed when he said "I don't want to fall in love" But it's too late for some of us Don't fall in love if you want to die in peace... |

i think it actually says: ending up in a little town oh, the books layed there on the side of the bed where we kissed and tried to hide the world was so old and we felt so young the kids at the club have faith enough |

| Voxtrot – Four Long Days Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Sounds like the aftermath of a long drug binge. The kind that gets started out of boredom and becomes an unstoppable force unto itself. Easy to get trapped in, hard to see the possibility beyond it. | |
| Voxtrot – Raised By Wolves Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Sounds to me like "you were so on time" and "take a moment, take a knife and then they'll put it in again" instead of what's written. | |

Okay, here are the full corrected lyrics. I still hear Berlin, not burning, but both are represented. ------------------------------- Somebody told me you're a junkie now And that you've always been a junkie Man, I never would've guessed that I used to sit around and wonder how People fall into a trap just to stumble off the footpath And it's all peace, love, and harmony To politics and celebrity Second nature to the youth scene It's a must see Understand it's a curse You've got trouble in your blood Write a song, second verse Underneath it there's a love Recognize the things you do You make a mess but baby, you know who It sounds impossible but, man, it's true You are the bad, the bad seed of this town I bought your record out on Cherry Red It wasn't good, well, it was great I believed it was the next step Somebody phoned and said the dream is dead He's just busy counting coppers Man, it makes me see red And it's all a part of the balance that You don't deserve all the love you have It's the fruit of life, but you throw it away like candy Understand it's a curse You've got trouble in your blood Write a song, second verse Underneath it there's a love Recognize the things you do You make a mess but baby, you know who Understand it's a curse You've got trouble in your blood Write a song, second verse Underneath it there's a love Recognize the things you do You make a mess but baby, you know who It sounds impossible but, man, it's true You are the bad, the bad seed of this town I've been boxing a match for one Seven days in the Berlin [burning?] sun All kinds of money and too much time I've been running Around once with town in a circle game Double fists and a single shame Oh, I am lost and lonely in the arms of London She cries I never would've done it I never would've lied I never would've done it I never would've slashed my parents' trust I never would've slashed my parents' trust I never would've done it I never would've lied I never would've done it I never would've slashed my parents' trust I never would've slashed my parents' trust If I thought for a moment you would leave me With my big dreams Slightly out of reach Techno on the beach I bet you made a scene in your million dollar shorts You have to give it up and try The future you deny Underneath it all there's a motive to the force Understand it's a curse You've got trouble in your blood Write a song, second verse Underneath it there's a love Recognize the things you do You make a mess but baby, you know who Understand it's a curse You've got trouble in your blood Write a song, second verse Underneath it there's a love Recognize the things you do You make a mess but baby, you know who It sounds impossible but, man, it's true You are the bad, the bad seed of this town |

| isn't it "underneath it all there's a motive to the force" instead of "voice"? | |

I love the version from Munich in 1998. He changes it to be about Andy Symington, friend of the band. "I think the first thing I told him about was me and Wee Karn because of how I was missing her so, and I was probably a bit drunk. We did it all over backwards, I told him. First of all we got to know each other, and then after a while we met, and when we'd known each other for about seven years we decided to have an anniversary, and that went quite well, so after the anniversary we had a honeymoon, and that went well too, so after that we decided that we would get married. Andy just looked at me for a minute, though, and then he said, 'So which did you like best, Blonde on Blonde or Dusty in Memphis?'" |

| M.I.A. – Banana Skit Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Seems like commentary on English as a Second Language instruction for refugees. Repeating words like "banana" is sometimes done to help learn pronunciation, but M.I.A.'s comment at the end ("get yourself an education") seems sarcastic in the context. | |

Jarvis said this song is about the sisters from "Babies" some years down the line... "Watch her as she's going down / it's easy when you stop pretending / that you just got lost on the way" & "Try it; you might like it / but you might smudge your lipstick" So perfectly dirty. Brilliant. |

| Camera Obscura – Books Written for Girls Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Reminds me of a boy I know. Likes to say he's a feminist and pretend he's a suave intellectual, but really judges girls just as harsh as the rest. "Books written for girls," indeed... | |

| Metric – Combat Baby Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is about missing someone and recognizing at the same time that what you had with them was far from perfect, with all the fighting and tears. Either way, the reasons you broke up are now even among the things you'd bargain to have back. | |
| Belle & Sebastian – The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I wish they'd record this song once and for all. When I think of this song, I think of how I feel right now-- ready to graduate in two months, looking back at the past, looking at my future alone, and wanting someone in particular to be there with me in that future. Let's just get on a train, go anywhere, as long as we're together, as long as I won't feel this lonely anymore. |
