| Australian Crawl – Oh No Not You Again Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
She's a homebody who wants to make a good life with him and their friends. He's out trying to score drugs instead of being home with her. She doesn't want to pry, she just wants to know why - why he's never home, why he's working so hard yet there's never any money, and why he's not interested in sex any more. Simple answer for all 3 - he's on smack. Any addict reacts the same way when you get close to the truth - "oh no, not you again" - don't make me confront this problem. There's not a lot more to this song. |

| New Order – 60 Miles An Hour Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I see this song from a very different perspective. This is a guy who feels stuck and there is someone who can offer him a way out. He is not the one who will be doing ANY of the driving, it is the woman who is (or who he wishes was) his lover. "Don't you know that I'm here beside you? Can't you see that I can't relax? When I saw you in my rear view You could have stopped me in my tracks" He is sitting BESIDE her in the car, he is infatuated with her and somehow steals a glimpse of her in the rear view mirror (as you do). He wants this experience again: "Why don't you run over here and rescue me?...We'll drive at sixty miles an hour" Its not that he wants to just take from this woman, there's something he's offering in return for rescuing him: "I'll be there for you when you want me to I'll stand by your side like I always do" This song, like so many others on this album seems like it is about a relationship that the singer desperately wants to work out, and he'll offer anything to make it happen. |

| New Order – Crystal Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Right on. The exquisite marriage of rock and a synth/electro band. New Order have their roots in rock as JD. When they wanted to make a rock album again they didn't have to get some producer in to add an electronic overlay - we are talking New Order here for god's sake! Everyone seems to hate the honey/money lyric. I think maybe if you heard it at just the right time in your life you might not be so harsh. |

| more or less agree with hypemike, except its not even a case of the younger person being able to settle down. They are ambivalent about even getting invovled in the first place, which is the singer keeps "hanging on" | |
