| Peter Frampton – Show Me The Way Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The song is about him losing his virginity. I wonder if I'm dreaming I feel so unashamed I can't believe this is happening to me He doesn't know what to do...she needs to show him how. And MGD, it is Dinosaur Jr, not sonic youth. It is sonic youth, not somic youth. And it is watermelon, not watermellon. |

| Bob Dylan – Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| obvious and dylan don't usually go together like that. People were pissed off with dylan for going electric, people were pissed off at dylan for changing what he wrote about, people were pissed off at him for reasons he didn't know. And what did they do? They stoned him. There are always people that are going to "stone" somebody for doing anything. And yes, the drug reference is there. But dylan can be a bit of a trickster, and would put something like that in a song to fuck with people. | |
| The Velvet Underground – Run Run Run Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Teenage Mary, said to uncle dave/Sold my soul, must be saved" The virgin mary was a teenager when she found out she would have jesus as a son. Uncle Dave could be King David, who was connected to the birth of Jesus (not sure how). Introduces the song with some sort of biblical religious reference (regardless of the meaning has been influential in songwriters like black francis). |

| Bob Dylan – Maggie's Farm Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is from the album where dylan goes electric. After another side of bob dylan, where he departed from politically motivated songs (oxford town, blowin' in the wind, masters of war...and some others on freewheelin' bob dylan) to more surreal songs and introspective stream of consciousness lyrics. This made some people angry, both for the fact that he changed his sounds and lyrical subjects. The movie No Direction Home shows how some people began to grow angry at Dylan for straying away from lyrics that tended to fit with the left leaning audience. Maggies farm is his response. He doesn't want to work for them and their political causes. He isn't going to work on the farm. This isn't what he is trying to do. He wants to do what he wants to do. This was followed by the first song on Highway 61 revisited, Like a Rolling Stone, where he completely departs from the folk sound and goes on for six minutes on the same subject. I doubt that this song is an attempt by Dylan to talk about anything directly political. | |
