| Public Image Ltd. – Bad Baby Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Keith Levene said it was about himself. His nickname was "Bad Baby". | |
| Roxy Music – Both Ends Burning Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| It's about trying to get over a woman and failing because your love is too ingrained. | |
| David Bowie – Boys Keep Swinging Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think you mean sexist if Bowie is saying boys are better than girls. No it is just a song about boys being boys really. | |
| Blur – Sunday Sunday Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This was from Modern Life Is Rubbish, two years before the release of The Great Escape. | |
| The Kinks – Holiday Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Describes a typical British Holiday. | |
| Wire – Men 2nd Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Seems to be about a ship wreck, most obvious one would be the Titanic, but the thing with Wire the lyrics could mean anything. | |
| Electronic – Getting Away With It Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is about morrissey, Neil Tennant and Electronic have said so. | |
| Pet Shop Boys – Miserablism Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is also about Morrissey. Tongue in cheek as he himself as a sense of humour and I'm sure if he took it as a joke would laugh along with Neil and Chris. But I suppose it can be about defeatist and conformist people. | |
| Ladyhawke – My Delirium Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Ladyhawke, like me has aspergers syndrome and this song is kind of about that, such the stanza when she describes watching the world go by in a room where time stands still, that happens it happens to me all the time, because people with aspegers just have a difficulty socialising. And this song is probably about the lonliness which is the cost because a lot of people wit ASD have brilliant minds such as Ladyhawke. | |
| System of a Down – Psycho Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I believe this song is simply about any band on tour that has gone through the whole Sex Drugs and Rock'n'Roll phase. | |
| New Order – Thieves Like Us Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Bernard doesn't even mention any kind of sexuality in this song, but everyone has their own opinions. The song is about love itself, it's nothing to do with two people in a relationship. | |
| Blur – Essex Dogs Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Not very Radiohead, would they ever do this in the 90's what Coxon does on guitar in this song? It's really about Essex |
|
| The Smiths – Meat Is Murder Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'm not a vegetarian by all means, and animals should be treated fairly. But, stop treating them like they are human beings, they aren't. What you consider murder, is making food and money to those in the abattoirs. Humans have always eaten animals, a way to justify animal "murder" is food. You can't however justify killing a fellow human being, something some animal rights groups can't seem to get their head around. But the meaning of the song is obvious. Title says it all. | |
| The Smiths – Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Apart from a drunken hour, kinda reminds me of me. | |
| New Order – Broken Promise Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I doubt it's about Ian when it's so far into their career (1986 this was released on the brotherhood album) it's more of a break up song to be honest. | |
| New Order – Weirdo Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think it is about what the title is called, with lines such as "The other day I came across Someone I knew and he was lost / I don't care what we have done / You never will believe it / It's a life that's made for me / Where I can be completely free" and "So, I thought this cannot be / There's someone else in here with me / I don't care where we have been". |

| Oasis – I'm Outta Time Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Best song Liam ever wrote for Oasis, I think he said this was something to do with his children. | |
| Muse – Undisclosed Desires Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Matt said it was about his ex-girlfriend I forget her name, but then again we can apply it to anyone we've known and felt the same way towards. | |
| The Stranglers – Princess of the Streets Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is about a manipulative woman, and it perfectly describes someone I once knew. He still loves too by the look of it too. | |
| The Stranglers – Golden Brown Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'm open to the heroine interpretation, but I think it's about a woman and with my past experience with one it makes more sense in my opinion. | |
| Radiohead – Paranoid Android Lyrics | 15 years ago |

| Radiohead – Paranoid Android Lyrics | 15 years ago |

| Metallica – Invisible Kid Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think the whole point of St Anger, was a release for Kirk, Lars and James the lyrics are intelligent in they're own way, sure it's different to a "normal" Metallica album but they've done that on purpose, they are playing with more soul then they ever did at the time, I think St Anger helped pave the way for the great things that have come from. As for the song, It might be a son or daughter that isn't noticed by the rest of the family or the fact that James' problems in his life were ignored or not seen by the fans and only saw the famous him, not the real him. |
|
| Joy Division – Atmosphere Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is the only uplifting song Joy Division did apart from Ceremony. It's almost like (if I can put this into words it's hard when this song is so special to me) the song is like Ian or whoever you'd like it to be in this, is saying don't worry "Life rebuilding" is almost like the song is about life and death but in a good way and that no one should just grieve but be happy that this person had good times and they had a good friend. I hope this makes sense, I just cannot explain it. |

| The Human League – Don't You Want Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| the woman doesn't need to be waitress, as with all of phils lyrics you can apply it to your own experiences | |
| The Human League – Empire State Human Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| It's about someone who simply wants a bigger role in the land. It could also be about growing up. | |
| Metallica – One Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| "back in the room" | |
| Soundgarden – Outshined Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think it's "Shitting" not Shedding makes more sense and the song seems to be about depression, maybe a celebrity because he/she looks "California" but feels "Minesota" |
|
| Blur – Charmless Man Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| You could apply this to any snobby person from any background, and I doubt it is about Morrissey he isn't charmless and doesn't need to please people. I met many people like this Charmless Man character so many times. Blur just have this way of making people connect with their music, and you don't really need to be British. | |
| Peter Gabriel – Solsbury Hill Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It obviously is about Peter leaving Genesis (but luckily they don't hate each other like other bands have done) and it does have a spiritual feeling to it. However I think it could also be about a lonely person who has all these "friends" and maybe he has an epiphany "Came in close I heard a voice / Standing stretching every nerve / I had to listen had no choice" maybe the epiphany was he has to choose who his real friends are, or just forget about these people who don't really like him and think he's weird "My friends would think I was a nut / Turning water into wine / Open doors would soon be shut", and move on and find people who really do care about him. The open doors bit could be a bit of irony because really he wasn't invited to be their friend he was just let in anyway as a guy who's just there, to make them more popular. "I was feeling part of the scenery / I'd walk right out of the machinery / My heart going boom-boom-boom / Hey, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home / Eh, back home, I think this bit could be him ready to move on, "the machinery" could be the people, they are all acting like machines they just follow what other people do like machines have to follow a humans command input, he feels part of the scenery could mean that he feels human at last, nature, he obviously is nervous about losing all of these people and being more lonely but the last bit seems he is confident that he'll have a better life once they are gone. "When illusion spin her net / I'm never where I want to be / And liberty, she'd pirhouette / When I think that I am free / Watched by empty silhouettes / Who close their eyes but still can see / No one taught them etiquette / I will show another me," the first two stanza's is describing how nothing goes well for him and watched by people who are empty and a blind that they don't see the nice person her is, and maybe he will show them that he can also be defiant and willing to be different and not follow others like a sheep or machine. "Today I don't need a replacement / I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant / My heart going boom-boom-boom / Hey, I said, you can keep my things They've come to take me home" this shows he is now going to move on, he's going to find the real people who love him, and the last line show's he probably has. There's my interpretation. |

| New Order – Elegia Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| New Order's best song, all i can say is on wiki elegia is latin for elegy and the band themselves have said it was written in memory of Ian, I think he'd be proud. | |
| Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Whatever Happened to My Rock 'n' Roll (Punk Song) Lyrics | 15 years ago |

| Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Berlin Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It's that situation when there's people who are just fools who don't believe in anything and follow the people who are the most manipulative and follow them because they have all this popularity, while the narrator is clearly suffering from this, maybe he was in love with this person and is attacking all her friends and themselves Killer don�t you please I got time and time to bleed Everything goes wrong for him and he feels he has tons of time for bad things to happen to him and they don't have to do a thing. were fools in need, fools to believe, there are fools in need, to foolish to believe The top one is how he was foolish to fall in love with someone who never loved him in the first place it aint no use in trying to deceive ive been fooled by the lover, fooled by the sinner, fooled myself into thinking i was living He's been decieved in "relationships" for so long he's fooled himself into thinking he can still find the right person when really he knows he can never trust a woman again. She said Suicide�s easy What happened to the revolution this could be both what he says and what she says, "suicide's easy" maybe she is saying he should commit suicide that would solve his problems but he's wondering what happened when the revolution in the 60's was really successful in allowing him to be with her. im gonna, uh somebody, uh somebody, uh somebody, uh somebody He just wants to hurt someone simple as Hey there little lovers No more fightin� with each other Ain�t no use in sufferin� like the others They�re fools in need Fools to believe They�re all fools in need too foolish to believe he's saying to others no need to do waht he did because there are people who aren't maniuplative and will love you no matter what, but the others are"fools because they got themselves in to that mess in the first place. I�m fightin� just to breath As I get back on my knees and say Help me somebody he's pleading for help because he's so heartbroken and scarred and is finding it hard but he's got on his knee's so he is going to make it. |

| The Smiths – Half a Person Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think it sounds like a girl has been in love with a musician's music (and himself to an extent) and has found him and is stalking him (six full years of my life on your trail)and then meets up with him and then begs for a conversation "five seconds to spare" and then tells him about her life. Thats as simple as it can get. | |
| Hot Chip – One Life Stand Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| this is missing lyrics | |
| Metallica – Seek & Destroy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I remember watching an early live video on YouTube of this song, and James said, "this is for all the fake people all the poseur's" so maybe it's a song directed at poseur's. | |
| Blur – Battery in Your Leg Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think it's a feel good song like Damon is singing to a person feeling down "battery in your leg" to make yourself feel better feel rejuvenated and when think tank was made there was quite a lot of negative things that influenced it (the war on terror for an example)but this is just to give people hope brilliant song up there with Tender | |
| Arctic Monkeys – Potion Approaching Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| good example but what about this song? | |
| Blur – Moroccan Peoples Revolutionary Bowls Club Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The first verse is about the rain forest being cut down and how we should be scared of losing them because they help us live. The second is very easy its about Iraq and Afganistan, so a simple political song about the environment and war. |

| named after the recording equipment hannett used sort of a homage i guess | |
| Joy Division – Digital Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| when i said he wrote it i meant the lyrics | |
| Joy Division – Digital Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
he wrote it in 78 he wasn't thinking about killing himself then i think it could be a bit about drugs As patterns seem to form I feel it cold and warm The shadows start to fall I feel it closing in I feel it closing in Day in, day out Day in, day out Day in, day out Day in, day out Day in, day out |

| Joy Division – Ceremony Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Ian sings on the first DEMO and the LIVE version Bernard Sumner sings it in the studio version and Stephen Morris and Peter Hook sing it on the second demo version |
|
| Joy Division – Ceremony Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| sorry but as new order is technically joy division with a different line up and the three men wrote it with ian it isn't a cover. | |
| Joy Division – Transmission Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
FUCKING HELL!!! I actually agree with elephant range, his vocal style when he sings it he shouts it out at the top of his lungs its just about the crap on the radio and he demands the listener to dance to this music cos you can't dance to the mainstream shit. |
|
| Joy Division – Twenty Four Hours Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i don't think religion could have saved Ian, but those joy divison fans who are stuck in mourning about a man who they never knew, never met, and worship like he is a god should know people die and ian is just one of those people, sure he left before he could taste success but now he is in death. Anyway i think this song is basically him (or the character whatever you may percieve it) making his mind up about his life, there are moments where he is doubting the ultimate way to end ones problems. Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway Got to find my destiny before it gets too late but he doubts those methods too I saw someone on this site say that this album is like a concept album and i agree just look what happened next on the album The Eternal and in the story is the funeral and 24 hours is when he kills himself (sorry to those who say not all joy division songs are about suicide i agree but i think this in a story like way shows it) |

| Arctic Monkeys – Potion Approaching Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
In a way i think this song is about both drugs and sex "I was biting the timezone and we embellished the backs of our bloodstreams and threw caution to the colourful" Taking drugs, could be Alcohol or LSD, and then they decided to have sex "threw caution to the colourful" could be not using contraception but i think its more to do with the side effects of the drugs and the things that could go wrong in the future. I fell asleep in the car until the bumps woke me up in your grip and the tide took me to your mouth And swept me back down to your calms (should be palms) its them that put me inside the reminder that yours is the only ocean" I fell asleep in the car could be they were making love in the car, until she woke him up and then of course his lust took over and they decided to have it again. "The Reminder that yours is the only ocean" this suggests he is obsessed with her and he beleives she is the only one hence "yours is the only ocean" Yours is the only ocean (Yours is the only ocean) That I wanna swing from, (yours is the roley ocean) I’m swinging on) Yours is the only ocean, yours is the roley ocean, yours is the only ocean, yours is the roley ocean. That I want to hang onto Not much to say about this bit i'm afraid but sums up is emotions about her Potion approaching, shield your eyes, Potion approaching, visualize, Holding a token, swollen in size, Potion approaching, shield your eyes. This can be both the LSD that they are taking and the spunk that the narrator is injecting onto the woman. It can be about LSD because it can be abosrbed through the skin but i'm not sure about the eyes. But if we’re gonna escape though, we’d really ought to think it through. Would you like me to build you a go kart? I think this is when they are really addicted to the drugs and sex, and the man is telling ehr they need to think about the situation carefully because if they want to take a break from sex and stop taking drugs thats the only option at the moment. "Would you like me to build a go kart" he is saying would you like me to take us out of this mess. the lyrics are wrong in grammer and spelling and words it should be: I was biting the timezone and we embellished the backs of our bloodstreams and threw caution to the colourful I am a fell asleep in the car until the bumps woke me up in your grip and the tide took me to your mouth And swept me back down to your palms its them that put me inside the reminder that yours is the only ocean (yours is the only ocean) That I wanna swing from (yours is the only ocean) That I wanna hang on I've got this ego mechanic. She’s always tryin' to give me vitamins. I should be frightened of your reflection, I preferred her as a cartoon. If I could be someone else for a week, I’d spend it chasing after you, Cos she’s not shattered in my attitude, no matter how she folds the potion, Yours is the only ocean (Yours is the only ocean) That I wanna swing from, (yours is the only ocean) That I want to hang onto (I’m swinging on) Yours is the only ocean, yours is the only ocean, yours is the only ocean, yours is the only ocean. Potion approaching, shield your eyes, Potion approaching, visualize, Holding a token, swollen in size, Potion approaching, shield your eyes. But if we’re gonna escape though, we’d really ought to think it through. Would you like me to build you a go kart? |
