| Kings of Leon – Rock City Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think this is the story of a cross-dressing rock star. It may be inspired by Lola by The Kinks. "looking for a bad girl, looking for a bad boy" appears to be an allusion to the type of pansexuality exhibited by many rock and pop stars like Anthony Kiedis, David Bowie, Morrissey, Steven Tyler, Prince, Michael Jackson, etc. The following lyrics could be the most explicit: "I found myself face-first on the floor Searching for something But never finding something" I would interpret the above excerpt to suggest passive positioning in male on male sexual intercourse. The experience has left the protagonist feeling empty. |

| Erasure – Star Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This is a song about the Moshiach / Antichrist. "In whose hands are we anyway?" "The power wrapped in your palm Show it to me Hit them with your wrath and thunder" -This is a reference to Zeus' thunderbolts probably aimed at Rome or Jerusalem. "Go waiting for the stars To come showering down From Moscow to Mars Universe falling down" -Refers to a meteor shower of devil stars falling upon the Earth at Armageddon. "Rolling along through a rose coloured glow The city looks pretty in pink Armageddon is here!" -The city looks pretty in pink because it is burning down during Armageddon - perhaps the destruction of Rome. |

| Morrissey – Scandinavia Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This is one of Morrissey's most profound and poetic songs. Its first stanza is an allusion to political correctness - replace the locations with African locales: "Crime in Uganda; I despise each syllable in "Africa". Let the people burn, Let their children cry and die in blind asylum." But Morrissey knows he can't be called racist for maligning Scandinavia. "And I praise the god who made you. Stab me in your own time in Scandinavia. Uncomplaining I'd die in Scandinavia." This is a racial acknowledgment. Morrissey is saying "Thank god for Nordic peoples!" Further, he acknowledges their racial superiority over he himself, as an Irish / English Celt, with the line "Stab me in your own time in Scandinavia." |

| The Smiths – Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think 1stgospel got closest to the truth: It's about guys. To put it bluntly, I think Morrissey is saying that everyone is a girl, but some of us have more or less developed phalluses. Personally, I tend to see it from the opposite side of things: We are all guys, but some of us have more or less undeveloped phalluses. |
