| Tool – Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The Dr's accent in the song is not Australian. If anything it's an American trying to immitate an Australian accent. Like that shit Australian character that is in the Simpsons and futurama. It sounds more like a South African accent then an Australian's. | |

| Paul Kelly – Everything's Turning To White Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think that this song is wriiten from the perspective of a wife, who knows that her husband killed this young girl. Everything's turning to white meaning that she's losing her emotions\feelings to saty with her killer husband. | |

| Cold Chisel – Standing On the Outside Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is about a working class man who is struggling to keep his head up financially. He knows a mate who robbed a TAB (betting agancy) and "broke through illegally" (became financial). I believe he's standing on the outside of financial freedom, looking in at people with money. Room full of money and the born to win No amount of work's gonna get me through the door He's pissed off how people can be born with money, and is realising that even if he busts his arse working he'll never be rich. At the end he saying that he's going to do what his mate did and rob the place that he's "Standing on the outside" of. Not fully sure of the meanings of all the lines, but its a start. "Pissin' all my money up against the damn wall" - Bow River |

| Cold Chisel – When the War Is Over Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think this song is about a young man who got wrapped up in his youth, broke the law and got put in gaol. He's now about to be released and he's thinking about a girl who he left behind. You and I we used each other's shoulder Still so young but somehow so much older How can I go home and not get Blown away Possibley refers to the girl who he left and how he's worried about what people (including his girlfriend) will think of him when he returns home. He's a so much older due to him reflecting on his recklessness before he was gaoled (grow up quick in gaol). You and I had our sights set On something Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered I got plans for more than a wanted man Again, tells of the life plans that he and his girlfriend had before he was put away. He hopes that its not over between them due to him wrecking these dreams. When the war is over Got to start again Try to hold a trace of what it was Back then You and I we sent each other stories Just a page I'm lost in all its glory How can I go home and not get blown away He's saying how he hopes his relationship will be the same as it was. Reflects on his time in gaol when she wrote to him. Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away This is him saying that even though he's been away he still loves the girl and hopes it can be like it was. This is my take on it if anyone's got better ideas let hear them. "Got my Cheap Wine and a Three-day Growth" |
