This is my favorite song off of Come Clean. I think that it is mostly because it sounds like it should've be on Nirvana's Nevermind album. |

This song always reminds me of Water's Edge by Seven May Three but I guess WE should remind me of UTC since it came out like 5+ years later. UTC even has a the line with 'Water's Edge' in it...so maybe 7M3 wrote WE based on UTC? |

I remember loving this song after seeing the video multiple times on weekend late night music video shows in the late 70s/early 80s. I always wished there was a third verse to know if they ever got home okay... |

From wikipedia: John Kay had recently bought a new top-quality hi-fi system, and started writing lyrics "about how great our new stereo system sounded," adding imagery about making a wish. |

A guy named Johny buys a drug that allows males to have sex every hour for 24 hours. Johny goes on a rampage across LA, raping women. When the drug wears off, Johny wakes up to discover a girl that he brutalized next to him in a coma. Johny thinks so little of women that he refers to all women as 'Pauline'. John Doe came up with the idea of the drug... |

Loved when this song got played on WTUE out of Dayton Ohio around 1980. It seemed to get played every evening during the teenage years. It took me a few years to actually find this song...I bought The Best of UH' and unbelievably this song wasn't included! If only I had bought the European edition... |

Sorry Samhain...I believe you got one of the most important aspects/catchiness of the lyrics wrong. It should be Go instead of Don't. |

I've mulled this over and over since I changed the lyrics...even had my kid listen to it. After years of thinking it's 'All in a line', I changed my mind to 'All in a lie...but now I think that it may be: ...lie, ...lie, ...line
Oh well...lol

I always thought that he didn't want to go to work or school...and just face everyday responsibilities. Or he's just crazy and doesn't like the light...like a vampire. Anyway...excellent song...one of my favorite by the Angels. Great White did a pretty good cover of this song as well. |

In the Woody Gutherie song 'Pastures of Plenty'...there's a line about digging up beets from the ground. So he sang as about the food beets and not beats as in music. |

Can't believe no one has commented on this yet.
I love the big booming sound of the guitar and the fast shuffling beat of the drum...but the Bukowski-esque lyrics are what make this song so great.
Now for the meaning...is it about one boozy girl with relationship problems? Or is each verse about a different girl? I think that it is about one girl that is trying to get out of her unhappy relationship/life. |

| Candlebox – Far Behind Lyrics
| 11 years ago

Although I do love this song...it's good..but not great musically. This song takes you right to the edge of really rocking. Rightuptothebrink...but pulls back. I always thought this song should've been a little harder. Likely some decision from the record company...turning it into a power ballad. But don't get me wrong...I still love this song. I just thought that it could've been greater. For a band to write such a great song...only to not hit it out of the park...
There are a few times that Candlebox really excelled at rocking out on their first album...and didn't hold back. To me...most notablely is Rain. You...Don't You and Arrow also come to mind. What a great album this was...I couldn't believe that Candlebox didn't become superstars... |

| Green Day – 86 Lyrics

I think this song is about GD selling out and signing with a big record company. The lyrics are from the point of view of their old fans.
To be 86'ed is to be kicked out of something. Hence...GD is longer welcome back in their old community. |

I think that he's talking about a city. Sadly this song isn't more widely known. The lyrics are clever...especially the chorus. I happened to buy the soundtrack to SWF and this gem (along with Paw doing a great cover of Surrender) was on it. |

Almost half of the people who posted replies thus far don't know the meaning of the word 'satire'. Clearly this is what's wrong with our society today. Too many people can't take a joke...or recognize a joke when it pokes them in the face. |

I believe that the first line is either:

I always thought this song was about a guy committing suicide...but now think that it is a song for people that are about to commit suicide...I guess sung by people that have already committed suicide. This is one of my favorite CT songs...hellothere is right...the last minute of the song is fantastic...right after the drum roll until Zander screams 'Suicide!'. CT at its finest... |

| INXS – Don't Change Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
To me...it's about a guy that wants a girl to change because of some reason (she's different...maybe she dresses funny...or just something not socially acceptable-something that he thinks may cause people to talk about or treat her badly or him badly for being with her). So when she doesn't change...he becomes bitter... and they split up. But he realizes that the 'sky above won't fall down' if she doesn't change...and people don't treat her or him bad (see/hear no evil in all directions). So he returns to the girl (i.e...finds a love that he had lost)...loses all his bitterness and figures out how to be happy.
Many of us have been there before...going out with someone that the people around us didn't like...and maybe making the person change would make them more acceptable to our inner circle. |

Another song from the 80s...warning us all about the devastation of impending nuclear war. But...the greatness in the song is Moore's guitar work...especially the intro. EVH doesn't have anything on Gary Moore. |
