I think it refers to Colt 45 malt liquor.. It would't be his first reference to a 40 of Malt liquor..

Sufjan Stevens – No Man's Land Lyrics	13 years ago
Well, O'Hare is the airport and O'Hara is Scarlet's last name, so I doubt any connection. Also, I'm pretty sure Cairo, Illinois is pronounced "cay-row". The title probably refers to No Mans Land, Illinois, a plot of land somewhere in the Wilmette area, between the airport and Lake Michigan. It's probably on the approach to O'Hare sometimes.

Sufjan Stevens – Futile Devices Lyrics	14 years ago
It's probably because many of the so-called "Christians" can't get their minds around that the fact that someone can be spiritual, moral and gay. It just goes against the BS narrative that they've been fed for so long.

"You can talk about old times They don't mean a thing to me You're fading fast Out of my memory" I love that. If it were true there wouldn't be a song about it.

Actually, it's in Irish. Gaelic is a family of languages, it's sort of like saying we speak Germanic.

Bee Gees – Massachusetts Lyrics

16 years ago

I think it references a major blackout that happened in the Northeastern United States and Maritime Canada in the late sixties. I'm a native of Massachusetts and remember hearing this song when I was young, I thought it was the state song (it should be), and again when I was an exchange student in Germany in the early 1990s (I was at an anniversary dinner at a restaurant outside of Neu Ulm with my host family, the hosts of the dinner hired a musician who played this song).

Elliott Smith – Go By Lyrics	16 years ago
I think it's partially about not getting caught up in and avoiding drama, that it really isn't worth it in the long run..
