The Good, the Bad and the Queen – Northern Whale Lyrics 18 years ago
...i don't think the lyrics in the booklet are accurate, sounds like he says:

Lying by a 'sad' machine (instead of 'dark)

Before anybody gets into an argument (not likely, very few people have heard TGTBATQ) it started off as a love song to Albarns partner, but then when that whale washed up that river, he changed it to a song about that whale...Now the lyrics make sense

note the whale calls everynow and again in the background

Gorillaz – Last Living Souls Lyrics 18 years ago
im just happy i noticed something interesting....

listen to the guitar really close during the bit when he says:

"Cause all I was on
I got it down wrong
I see myself to get"

when he says WRONG his guitar twangs the note....did he stuff up? or did he 'get it down wrong'?

Gorillaz – Don't Get Lost in Heaven Lyrics 18 years ago
it WAS for the movie....

Apparently murdoc died and went to heaven (dont get lost in heaven) then SOMETHING happened (murdoc is god....wow!)

something like that....or maybe heaven is not the spiritual heaven and it's just telling you to keep grounded to realety even when things are going really good ( notice all the imperfections noted during the song)

Gorillaz – Intro Lyrics 18 years ago
it actually goes:

"who put the chemicals in the food chain?" (x alot)
"you are now entering the harmonic dor"

it just gives an intro into the themes. (the theme is isolation and how the world is going downhill)

i love this song.

submissions
Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc. Lyrics 18 years ago
ya know, it's about him building a palace with the things he wants and being trapped by them. 2-d sees noodle and either noodle is the dream of freedom or noodle has escaped and 2-d wants to join her....she is a reminder to dig deep...the helicopters are either bringing her back, or keeping her in check

submissions
Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood Lyrics 18 years ago
the most commented song here. Almost everybody thinks that it's drugs related. probably is, there's no law saying one song can't be about drugs. But maybe it's about music?

i dunno about the chorus....i'll get to that later.

"Yeah, ha ha.
Finally someone let me out of my cage.
Now time for me is nothing 'cause I'm counting no age.
No, I couldn't be there. No, you shouldn't be scared.
I'm good at repairs and I'm under each snare.
Intangible, bet you didn't think, so I command you to.
Panoramic view, look I'll make it all manageable.
Pick and choose, sit and lose, all you different crews.
Chicks and dudes, who you think is really kicking tunes?
Picture you getting down in a picture tube,
Like you lit the fuse.
You think it's fictional? Mystical, maybe.
Spiritual hero who appears in you to clear your view when you're too crazy.
Lifeless, to those the definition for what life is.
Priceless to you because I put you on the hype shit.
You like it? Gun smoking, righteous, with one token psychic
Among those, possess you with one go."

- that could be about how you can unleash the full power of music and that it's timeless. Then i could be about how music is made by you, so it is your slave....(wtf?) and then it talks about how you can pick your music or how you can pick bits to customise it. and then it mentions how music changes us so we become a different person. then it could be about how he showed you some truely terrific music and you really love it. then to finish it all off, you are possessed by the beat or something.

"The essence, the basics, without it, you make it.
Allow me to make this childlike in nature.
Rhythm, you have it or you don't, that's a fallacy.
I'm in them, every sprouting tree, every child apiece,
Every cloud at sea, you see with your eye.
You see destruction and demise, corruption in disguise,
From this fucking enterprise, now I'm sucking to your lies
Through Russel, not his muscles, but percussion he provides
With me as a guide.
Y'all can see me now 'cause you don't see with your eye.
You perceive with your mind. That's the inner.
So I'm-a stick around with Russ and be a mentor,
Bust a few rhymes so motherfuckers remember
Where the thought is. I brought all this
So you can survive when law is lawless.
Feelings, sensations that you thought was dead.
No squealing, remember that it's all in your head."

-Now he's ranting about how all music comes down to the same thing, and if you lack that essence, then your music is childlike in nature. It's a lie that some people have rythm and some don't. Everything has rythm (i'm in 'em, every sprouting, every child a piece). You're eyes are seeing the surrounding debaucher of music's image that the 'enterprise' (like the music version of 'whitey', you know the ones that think they can own music) has created. y'know the corruption in disguise and you're believing its lies (their version of music is the only correct one). But once again you're sticking it to the man...not aggresively but through music ( percussion). he if being lead (guided by rythm), but now that you're seeing the truth, you no longer rely on sight (who wants to look at clouds all days?) so now you can see the rythm ( what IS the correct metaphor for the rapper?!?) because you're now using your mind to doubt the 'enterprise'
So now he's using Russel to play out his thoughts and to teach us, and he's sticking to all those mf'ers and telling to use their brains (remember where the thought is) so when the enterprise finally breaks down they can use their street smarts to survive (make their own tunes). And then we hit my fav: "no squealing, just remember it's all in your head." that means that all these tunes and beats are locked in your head and that's all you need.

then the chorus:
"I ain't happy. I'm feeling glad.
I got sunshine in a bag.
I'm useless, but not for long.
The future is coming on."

- no idea, maybe he dislikes liking the music he listens to, but he knows that it's about to get better?

I could be completely wrong, but im just offering an alternate theory....maybe it's something like that.....probably is about drugs..

Gorillaz – O Green World Lyrics 18 years ago
that was alot of big words.....he does mention his heart though.......though im pretty sure that in the book it said that it was about corporations coming in and taking away all the earths purity/innocence or something. so it almost sounds as if 2-d has been left behind.

Gorillaz – Dracula Lyrics 18 years ago
CAN ANYBODY UNDERSTAND THE WORD DRACULA?!?

2-D loves horror/monster movies, dudes, to write a good song you just dont say:

i like dracula
he drinks your blood
he scares me (oh yeah)
he's gunna come and get ya.

a good song is deep(ish) or at least doesn't blurt out the meaning. it's a song about dracula.

"some of us will never sleep again"
Drugs? NO to some people dracula is scary, some might say so scary that they'll never slepp again. (nightmares or the fact that dracula is nocturnal)

seriously, the word 'drugs' should be censored for all gorillaz songs.

submissions
Gorillaz – Ghost Train Lyrics 18 years ago
pretty sure the words GHOST TRAIN say it all.

for those of you that don't know what a gost train is, its a spiritual train (or even bunch or horses and carts)filled with ghosts, that appear in hainted area, that go speeding straight into walls and disappear.

sounds like his baby is dead, so he killed himself to ride the ghost train with her. (hope it's a her)

once you grasp that context, the rest of the song kinda falls into place. i dunno.

i love that dark sounding dude in the middle that goes off on a little rant about nothin

submissions
Gorillaz – Dirty Harry Lyrics 18 years ago
anyone heard the democarzy " i need a gun"?

it's the original version of dirty harry; it goes:

i need a gun to keep myself from harm
the poor people are burning in the sun
but they dont stand a chance
they ain't got a chance
i need a gun
'cause they dont stand a chance
and all i do is dance

that version seems to make a tad bit more sense....but the music is really good
