The Mountain Goats – Mole Lyrics 17 years ago
There's a bootleg of a concert from 2004 on archive.org where John explains the song is actually about an incident he experienced where he woke up handcuffed to a hospital bed. If you search there for a gid at The Earl on 18/10/2004 its free and legal.

Radiohead – Gagging Order Lyrics 18 years ago
It sounds pretty personal. It also reminds me of a particular time in my life, but i think that's a thing a few of us share.

Nick Drake – Parasite Lyrics 18 years ago
"Sailing downstairs to the northern line"

This is a reference to the Northern Line on the London Underground I reckons.

I think at least partly this song is about busking on the underground and how the business people in shiny shoes look down on musicians there as parasites? Could be an element of homelessness too?

Mogwai – Cody Lyrics 19 years ago
The lyrics are a bit wrong here. Their official site lists the first verse as:

Of all i knew
I held too few
And would you stop me?
If i tried to stop you?

great, great song :)
