| The National – England Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sitters" makes a hell of a lot of sense to me, however much I like the "heights...sinners" option. And the rest: Someone send a runner through the weather that I’m under for the feeling that I lost today Someone send a runner for the feeling that I lost today Someone send a runner through the weather that I’m under for the feeling that I lost today Someone send a runner for the feeling that I lost today You must be somewhere in London You Must be Loving your life in the rain You must be somewhere in London Walking every lane I dont even think to make, I dont even think to make I dont even think to make corrections Famous angels never come through England England gets the ones you never need I’m in a Los Angeles catherdral mine is singing out, sing for me Put a motion and a river in between everybody else, between everything yourself and home Put an ocean and a river between everything yourself and home Put a motion and a river in between everybody else between everything yourself and home Put an ocean and a river between everything yourself and home You must be somewhere in London You Must be Loving your life in the rain You must be somewhere in London Walking every lane I dont even think to make I dont even think to make I dont even think to make corrections Famous angels never come through England England gets the ones you never need I’m in a Los Angeles catherdral mine are singing out, sing for me Afraid of the house stay the night with the sitters Afraid of the house cause they’re desperate to entertain (It makes me think you’re still in London. That this never happened. That you’re still here in this world.) |

| Cold War Kids – Audience Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Sunday nights that you want her like velvet cake Sweet heart can bargain half price mistakes She will go down with her ship like a good captain You're sitting on the dock playing for an audience of one Pacing your apartment's linoleum floors Get a call from an old friend she never liked him before He will drive all over three lanes while you ride shotgun Windshield wipers waving for an audience of one You came out from the country wearing mamas clothes You were born in the city with daddy's domino's You need a record you can move to Well we got one Drop the needle, we are playing for an audience of one Drop the needle, we are playing for an audience of one One gets all of you two's jealous Three gets even less Four divides you up, then you're left Pleasing all your guests Close your eyes put your finger on the globe Spin it round and where it stops you got to pack your bags and go Land in the Mojave desert, well you got sun Three's too many when you're playing for an audience of one Two's too busy when you're playing for an audience of one One is the only when you're playing for an audience of one straight from teh album booklet |

I know it sounds like he sings other bits different, but this is what was written |

| Snow Patrol – Reading Heaney to Me Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Gary just did a radio session and he played this song. Heaney was Gary's inspiration to start writing, so it's kind of his thank you song to him | |
| Razorlight – Blood for Wild Blood Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
the last-ish verse, "There is a glory in the pitch of your desire/ And a calm in my gaze as my fear retires/ Our pulses exchange, we're face to face/ Finally higher and wire to wire" sounds tremendously sexy to me. Maybe some sort of prelude to sex or something? The rest I haven't a clue, but I love the contradictory terms, like "Stillness to the thrashing of despair" and "A calm in the rush of your stare" OH how I love Mr. Borrell :] oh, and I think it's "And a calm in my gaze as my fear retires", not feet... |

| Snow Patrol – Disaster Button Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think it's supposed to be "When you whirled in the room I was nailed to my seat" this one will inevitably spark up some serious moshing :D |

no it don't come easy no it don't come fast lock me up inside your garden take me to the riverside is the first verse. CanNOT wait for April.... madly in love with this one |

| The Cinematics – Chase Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| it's taken me until now to realise this, but I think "Chase" is, like, an actual love song. I've been listening to too much depressing stuff lately... haha and I've been playing this one nonstop too XD but it's gorgeous... | |
| The Cinematics – Human Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "I can't pick you up again, I've been breaking my back with the weight of your heart". Brilliant.... | |
| The Cinematics – Ready Now Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| took me till now to realise these are actually the lyrics for Rise and Fall... >.< and I've somehow lost what I had for the actual "Ready Now".. | |
| The Cinematics – Keep Forgetting Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| my current fav song... haha I can only remember the chorus and I'll just randomly sing that lol... effing brilliant song | |
| Editors – Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
found this in an interview: "The irony of someone having treatment for lung cancer coming outside for a cigarette stuck with me from visiting hospitals as a kid" |
|
| Editors – Bones Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I know, I love the chorus. That's kept me going more times than I can count... gives me an indescribable amount of hope that love is not just a figment of my imagination... | |
| Editors – The Weight of the World Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I know, sorry, I figured that out after a while. mychaosdream has the right part down, though, and it makes so much more sense that way. Here's correct lyrics: Keep a light on those you love They will be there when you die Baby there’s no need to fear Baby there’s no need to cry Every little piece in your life Will add up to one Every little piece in your life Will it mean something to someone? You fused my broken bones Back together again Lift the weight of the world From my shoulders again Every little piece in your life Will add up to one Every little piece in your life Will it mean something to someone? Every little piece of your life Will add up to one Every little piece of your life Will mean something to someone You touch my face God whispers in my ears There are tears in my eyes Love replaces You touch my face God whispers in my ear There are tears in my eyes Love replaces fear Every little piece in your life Will add up to one Every little piece of your life Will mean something to someone Every little piece in your life Will add up to one Every little piece of your life Will mean something to someone |

| Editors – When Anger Shows Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
current favorite song from the new album. "These thoughts I must not think of Dreams I can't make sense of I need you to tell me it's okay" that part just breaks my heart, cos I keep thinking about a friend of mine in a way that I really shouldn't cos I know he doesn't think of me in that way, and yet I want him to tell me that it's alright, even if he's turning me down.... beautiful song. |
|
| Editors – Well Worn Hand Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I found this interview with Tom about the song: "I wrote the words to that song when I found out that someone I went to school with was killed on their way home from work, for no reason. It's not about that event itself, it's about how I felt hearing the news. I can't even begin to imagine the kind of person that would do that to another human being, so when I heard I thought, 'Well, what's the point? What's the point in going outside? What's the point in having any hope at all?' That's all the song is really, just those thoughts....It's a lock the door, stay inside and throw away the key kind of song." it's sort of like a no-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel sort of song... but I love the lyrics in spite of their bleakness... "I'm so sorry for the things that they've done/ I'm so sorry about what we've all become" |
|
| Editors – The Racing Rats Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
the first play of: I push my hands up to the sky Shade my eyes from the sun As the dust settles around me Suddenly nighttime has begun is supposed to be: Standing at the edge of your town With the skyline in your eyes Reaching up to god The sun says its goodbye the site won't let me edit anymore :/ and I most certainly agree with mychaosdream... best part of the whole song :) |
|
| Editors – Bones Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| the first line of lyrics is actually 'How can you always be late for your arrival'... it just won't let me edit anymore | |
| Editors – An End Has A Start Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
no, I'm pretty sure you're right... in various interviews with Tom he's said that people that he knows and is close to died or became ill and that in turn influenced the whole album, and "An End Has A Start" certainly seems to be a clear example of that... You came on your own That's how you'll leave With hope in your hands And air to breathe somehow those lines give me the 'going up in white light' sort of image, yet somehow defying death cos of the 'air to breathe' part... waiting for the new album is gonna be torture if the whole CD's as great as this... |
|
| Editors – Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| great first returning single from Editors.... the first part, "Pull the blindfold down/ So your eyes can't see/ Now run as fast as you can/ Through this field of trees" sounds considerably bleak, but it's weird cos the tone of the music completely contradicts the bitterness of the lyrics... can't wait for An End Has A Start... | |
| Aqualung – Garden of Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| it's a bit difficult to tell what this one's about... but I love the piano and guitar intro... it's a beautiful start for the song... and I really like the lines "But you're young and in love/ back then there was no way of knowing", as if 'back then' you couldn't tell if you were in love or something... that's what I think it means, anyways | |
| Aqualung – Broken Bones Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song completely breaks my heart... pretty obviously he's afraid with how the world is going, and that he just needs more time with the two loves of his life.. best song on the album in my opinion | |
| Gwen Stefani – Early Winter Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Tim Rice-Oxley, the piano player of Keane, co-wrote the song | |
| Snow Patrol – Signal Fire Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think the missing parts are "There you are" then the "standing right in front of me"... Have barely listened to this twice and I already love it... one of the Patrol's best |
|
| James Morrison – Call The Police Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Nobody's posted anything yet?! This song is amazing! How he just snarls at the chorus, really makes it good... obviously he's mad or about to get really mad and is warning her to get help when she still can | |
| James Morrison – Burns Like Summer Sun Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This one's really good, just him with an acoustic guitar... it makes considerable sense to me as well. For instance, when I stand somewhat close to someoen I'm attracted to, for some reason it feels like they radiate heat, and so in the song it seems like he's saying that she's a burning bit of sun whenever he's close to her and he can't get enough of that feeling | |
| Aqualung – Pressure Suit Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think part of it goes: "Violently clear, the upper atmosphere, raging out your heart...." But I'm not sure... I love this song, it's so sweet... I really like the part: "I'll be your four leaf clover I'll be your pressure suit I'll be your angel wings I'll be your parachute I'll be your only reason I'll be your only reason I can't stop loving you....." |
|
| Editors – Time To Slow Down Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Also, I think it's quite fitting that it's a b-side for "All Sparks", cos the song seems a bit like the aftermath of All Sparks... | |
| Bloc Party – Uniform Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| song's pretty good, but it hasn't warmed on me completely yet... it's neat how the 'we can't be hurt' sounds like 'we can't be heard', cos that could sort of work as well perhaps | |
| Bloc Party – Kreuzberg Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| love this one, favorite off the new CD so far. I like the end repeat, cos it could be interpreted as those he is trying to love don't know how to do so properly, or that he himself wasn't taught how to love when he was younger... I dunno. Amazing song. | |
| Keane – Maybe I Can Change Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think Tom composed this one in response to Tim's writing of "Hamburg Song" and/or "Broken Toy"... not my absolute favorite b-side from the Under The Iron Sea era, but it's a good song all the same | |
| Editors – The Diplomat Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I really like this one... it's got an "Open Your Arms"-sized epicness but in a more uplifting tone... the lyrics for this one don't make complete sense to me, but that's alright cos I like it anyways | |
| Razorlight – In The Morning Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think the 'in the morning you know he won't remember a thing' part is them going to bed, but he doesn't remember anything cos he was really drunk, and it turns out nothing ever happened and at some point he figures that out | |
| Editors – Open Your Arms Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this one's about someone who's been screwed over on numerous occasions for a long time, but maybe he's saying that 'you' should just try and look past it and welcome whoever and whatever with open arms and a smiling face. More or less, anyways. | |
| Bloc Party – I Still Remember Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think it's about two school mates (it explains the tie) and they've got a day off or something and the song is telling about what happened that day, and that they're young and want to run away or something... great song | |
| Editors – Time To Slow Down Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love this song. It starts out acoustic and pretty much stays that way throughout the whole song, which is sort of un-Editors, but I suppose because of that it's such a gorgeous song. I'm pretty sure that the song is just Smith (singer) saying to someone that they're thinking too much and they've just got to calm down. | |
| Editors – Bones (Demo) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I believe this is my favorite Editors song. I think it means that 'she' is with 'him', but is afraid of being with him/ has had a bad experience in love, being somewhat fearful and therefore being more aloof, and maybe he senses/knows that and offers to run away with her. | |
| Editors – Colours Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| He thinks he loves her, but he's not sure so he wants her to find someone/thing else for her to be distracted by so then he has no choice but to find someone else | |
| Editors – Lights Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| My friend told me about this song, and I just now listened to it and was dazzled. Hmm... Maybe the 'I still love the light on baby/It keeps me awake but I don't mind' part means that he doesn't like to be kept in the dark, likes to know what's going on. 'If fortune favours the brave I am as poor as they come' obviously means that he's saying he isn't brave. The 'I've got a million things to say' part reminds me all too much of my friend, cos at one point in time, we couldn't think of things to talk about, but actually did, just was afraid to say them or something. Dang it. He's tied up in another good song... | |
| Snow Patrol – Mahogany Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Strongly agree w/ snowpatrolfan...older stuff, underrated. This one and "Velocity Girl" are my top two favs on Songs For Polarbears. But yeah, he just keeps saying (not literally) that he loves her and does all these things that others might not to show how much he loves her and how strong his love is. Something like that... | |
| Snow Patrol – Perfect Little Secret Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I just got the You're All I Have single the other day and have only listened to this one once, but so far I'm liking what I hear. I think it's just about how (kind of obviously) he loves her, but didn't start out loving her ("It's not as if I wanted/ To fall so hard for you"). But yeah, as I was listening to this one, I kept thinking about this guy who I know likes me, and of all these little moments that we had in the past, and then this song wasn't exactly helping me, but it will probably end up helping him. But this is an awesome song. Cheers for Snow Patrol! | |
| Snow Patrol – One Night Is Not Enough Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Seems to be about a one-night-stand gone bad or something. For anyone who saw the Grey's Anatomy episode when Meredith and George finally got together... it's a bit like that, although they never reached the 'you woke up cold this morning' bit. But yeah, it's like he slept with someone who he thought meant it, but the next morning the buzz wore off and she realized abruptly what had occured. Favorite song off 'When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up'... | |
| Vendetta Red – A Dark Heart Silhouette Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Wow. I heard this song once on the radio, and I wasn't sure who it was, but the words were oddly familiar, and when I checked who it was, I saw it was Vendetta Red! I can barely remember how the song goes, but I know it was really good and I have to get this CD! | |
| Snow Patrol – Make Love To Me Forever Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I really like this song. When I first read the title and all, I was a little hesitant, and I'll admit I won't listen to it on my ipod when there's someone in the room in case I blush or something... but the lyrics, the not-repeated ones, they're so simple. Like, to me, that's sort of the image or whatever of love, like the startings of a love, that he says he's still afraid and that he wants her to hold his hand because of it or something. And the fact that it's a Snow Patrol song, that Gary's singing it, it makes me (at least) like it quite a bit more. I dunno, but it's a beautifullt simple song, however odd the title. One of the best off of that album. | |

| Landon Pigg – Can't Let Go Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Wow. These lyrics eerily are almost exactly like what I went through earlier this year, mostly the first stanza part, though... now I want to hear the song... | |
| Keane – Hamburg Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Also, this song has made me try to be a little less selfish and be more helpful to others. Oh, the power of music... | |
| Keane – Hamburg Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Another brilliant performance from the lads of Keane. This one (I think) is about a person who is terribly shy, but wants their voice to be heard, but seeing as they're shy it's difficult to do. He says that all he does is give, he is unselfish, and is then trying to convince this girl that she is the light of his life. But I also agree with bloc party15 and i.are.scientist, that he wants her to love him as much as he does her, and that she doesn't quite realize how much he loves her. It's the best that comes to mind... | |
| Keane – To The End Of the Earth Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Wow. To The End Of The Earth is one of my all-time favorite songs. There isn't an easy message to detect in this song, but it is beautiful and has been a great inspiration to me. At times, I am reminded of Snow Patrol's Run. Very good song. | |
| Keane – The Frog Prince Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The Frog Prince is a beautiful song and I fell in love with it way before I even heard it. I think it's about someone letting the bright lights and stardom get to them (Soon, someone will put a spell on you/ Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know) and they have forgotten about much, if not all, of the simple things around them that possibly got them to where they are. It's a perfect finale to Under The Iron Sea, and I will love this song for a long time to come. | |
