@[andromeda1:50644] This is a freaking awesome interpretation of the song and I'm convinced. I'm a vegan and I like to see the "Can you kill it?" line as literal, not a metaphor for reaping benefits without doing the work. I like its literal viscerality. The image of killing and eating. And I'm aware Steve Albini was not fond of vegetarianism back in the day, and this song is not intentionally aligned to veganism - but as a vegan, I really appreciate the way it draws attention to the ugliness of killing animals, whether Steve is proud of it or not. |

That is, if she is even singing about another person. I am not sure if most of the posted lyrics are even right. Cocteau Twins songs are hard to make out. Also, back when Cocteau Twins were making music, people actually wrote lyrics to achieve images and moods and ideas. It was not always a diary entry. |

What? It's not a simple college or teenage feeling, that's so dismissive to say. Liz often sings about her ex, Robin, right? He seems to have treated her pretty bad. So, maybe he was sexually disrespectful with her. I am certain this has nothing to do with the subject of "Hot Girls Wanted". Jeez. |

By the way, here is a *very* informative and interesting article about Lou and Rachel. Much better than any of the famous articles on the same subject. There are also comments at the bottom of the page from people who have anecdotes about Rachel. I don't mean this in a gossipy way at all... it's just a beautiful story. https://skipthemakeup.blogspot.ca/2013/11/send-this-one-out-for-lou-and-rachel.html |

| Lou Reed – Coney Island Baby Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
how to begin with the moodiest song of all time? even though I didn't even grow up in NYC... My impression of Lou in general is of him being the good part of a century ahead of his time. Not a figure of speech, that's how much I'd say he was ahead. Normally for this sort of thing to happen, a person's got to have a kind of whacked up brain (like how so many genius scientists/mathematicians have had, for example), and Lou had one. It seems like he just couldn't relate to anything or anybody, except for the city of New York itself which came the closest. New York, as a menagerie of everything intelligent & unintelligent, a standard of culture and a collapse of culture, I think this is the image Lou started to have of his own brain, leading him on a search (most pronounced in his younger years) for the next buzz, to keep his mind occupied. I think later on though (he became big on tai chi, and you can hear this on his song Modern Dance), he started to accept the simple-minded, simple-hearted cravings he'd harbored his entire life for just natural and sane love, and the unironic things. One of my favorite things about his music is its almost-inscrutability in terms of sincerity, since he jumped so much between mocking songwriting and cheesy but sincere songwriting (e.g. Jesus and I Found a Reason). I think Coney Island Baby as an album seems to come in kind of half-way, or a little more, along the way between his eternally-unsatisfied state to where he was by the time of his way-later work (though he was by no means an all-enduring sage by then...) Coney Island Baby (the song) shares the same backdrop as the story above.. the lonely and ironic New York which is the same soulful New York that probably everyone who's lived there bears the contradiction of inside of them. And this song is just like, a walk through those streets, it is exactly what it sounds like to walk through the city in the dark hour. I'll venture to say that this might be the soundtrack to other metropolises in the world too, on certain kinds of nights. |

I think these are the right lyrics: Listen up everybody, the bottom line I'm a black intellect, but unrefined With precision like a bullet, target-bound Just living like a hooker, the harlot sounds Now when I say the harlot, you know I mean the hot Heat of the equator, the broth that's in the pot Jalick, Jalick, ya wind up ya hip Draftin of the poets, I'm the #7 pick Licks, licks, licks boy on your backside Licks, licks, licks boy on your backside Listen to the fader, Shaheed lets it glide Tip the earthly body Heaven's on my side Even in Santo Domingo When I got a Gringo We got mics, when do we go? Know a little nigga who can ryhme when you ask me Short, dark, and plus his voice is raspy 1 for the treble, 2 for the bass You know the style Tip, it's time to flip this I like my beats hard like two day old shit Steady eating booty MCs like cheese grits My man Al B., sure, he's in effect mode Used to have a crush on Dawn from En Vogue It's not like honey dip would want to get with me But just in case I own more condoms than TLC Now the formula is this: me, Tip, and Ali For those who can't count it goes: 1-2-3 The answer --- hey, big up is who I be Brothers find it's hard to do, but never me Some brothers try to diss but Malik You see'm bitching Me not care about them booty MCs, my shit is hittin Trini gladiator, anti-hesitator Shaheed push the fader from here to Grenada Mr. Energetic, who me, sound pathetic? When's the last time you heard a funky diabetic? I don't know, man I don't know, man I don't know, man I don't know, I don't know Oh my God, yes! Oh my god Complementary are we The three for poetry I got a humdinger coming hook, line and sinker The Timbo hoofs with the prints on the ground Timbos on the toes, I like the way it's going down Down like a lady of the evening When it goes in, toots, just believe it's in Cause Queens is the county, Jamaica is the place Take off your cleats 'cause you can't run the race Oh my God, yes!

Sounds like a soldier in love. I love a lot of lines from here because they're so simple but true, no grasping for poetry. One of my favorites, in the context of my interpretation, is "TV's dead but there ain't no war in my head" ... when he is on rest, there is no trauma of the war to weigh down on his psyche (I'm thinking Apocalypse Now, when Martin says "when I'm in Saigon I want to go home, when I'm at home I wish I was in Saigon") because he's thinking about his love. Other favorite line, in general: "Picture in my pocket...looks like you." |

| The Cramps – Goo Goo Muck Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
Wow, this song actually has a lot of maturity and insight. I'm not joking. Not intentionally in the song itself, but in the maturity of the Cramps which makes them capable of writing something like this. Like, I think the Cramps and anyone who listens to them can share the feeling of feeling outcasted for reasons not entirely explicable. It feels like very, very often, people (in society and in your life) close their eyes, throw their index finger on a part of you at random, and then decide to ostracize you for whatever their finger landed on. The way you dress, walk, talk, eat, suck, kiss, spit, ... And that's where the Cramps come in and say, "Yeah, that's me, a mutant, you guessed it" and just kick around in the ridiculousness of that. Hence the animal sounds and ownership of being just an utter Goo Goo Muck. |

Oh man, I guess it's about walking around a drugstore, but... This song has the most beautiful words about being a kid on the inside.

| Bright Eyes – At the Bottom of Everything Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
Name of the song is most likely taken from the famous book "Fear and Trembling" by Soren Kierkegaard. The passage: If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair? |
|
| The Velvet Underground – Ocean Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
"insects are evil thoughts" .... this line always stood out to me because it seemed pretty silly, and then I read somewhere just by chance, that Lou Reed was a big fan of Alice Bailey's "A Treatise on White Magic," which is a very spiritual book that had a strong effect on Lou and some of his friends that he introduced it to (one of them, I think it might have been Bill Name, locked himself in a room for 5 months because of this book). Anyway, the idea that insects are physical manifestations of evil thoughts is actually directly from the religion of the book. |

|
I love when you start off not knowing any lines from a song, then you one day have one pop out at you, and you pass it around your head, And then just as you're letting it get familiar, another line does the same. My favorite one so far: "I see the morning round your face...Everyone says it's another phase" I love that so much. Somebody you're getting to know, or maybe getting to love, shows up one day with a subtle change, bright as morning, but no one else is paying it any attention or takes it seriously, but it's beautiful to you. |

@[Dinky:16525] I think the thing about Sundays is that they have such a deep well of awfulness hidden under them, the start of the week to come, the end of the week just passed. Sundays are almost always grey in my head?? But you can still craft a Sunday into anything you like "never too late - still i don't know what to do today" ;-) Anyway, you're not right about your theory on Sunday-songs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf6Xwb03jTE Every Day is Like Sunday - Morrissey |

|
Was just coming here to talk about the line "It breaks my heart to say that when I was in pain... I wanted you to feel the same" and how it's my favorite. At its worst but also very often, love is so self-centered. It feels very bad to be self-centered like that, wanting something for the person you love that they don't themselves want. Do I have a person like this in my life right now? Yes... People who tell you they want to be there for you when you're lonely, that they want to hold you... And when you ask for it, they're busy. |
