@[myhero78:35293] "I think there's a darker, more depressed meaning"
Yeah, nothing as simplistic as believing in fairies, it's about his (Bono's) mother's funeral. |

| China Crisis – Christian Lyrics

Well, it's nothing to do with God, for one. The "Christian" in the song was just someone's name, inserted to fill a gap (source: the band). |

@[robertbruce:30864] Praise the Lord! It's about his almighty lurrrrvvvveeee!!!
JA was a mahossive lesbian icon back in the day, this is a song about convincing a woman to bail on her fella and come over to the other side. |

| Salt-N-Pepa – Push It Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
It's about the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ pushing the word of God to the four corners of the earth.
And not at all about sex. |

@[freddy1825:30860] That's complete cobblers, frankly. Why are so many loons on here obsessed with religious mumbo-jumbo? |

| Therapy? – Gone Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
It seems to me it's about a vulnerable woman/girl, possibly being preyed upon. Stalking? "I know about..."
Or it could be about someone who wants, achingly, so much to care for someone, who simply isn't interested, but is still hell-bent on self-destruction.
Great song |

@[aammyydd1978:9069] Utter, utter garbage. She wrote it aged 13 about an older man with whom she was in love. Why do you dreamers have to make everything about the mythical man in the sky? |

| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – (Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For? Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
@_Aww sugar: really - Jesus?!?!?!??!!?? I think that's almost totally improbable. What is it with people on here assuming every song is about Jesus/God? Cave is a super-hyper-Atheist.
This is a pained love song, simple as. There is a reference to Jesus - "There's a man who spoke wonders, though I've never met him", which I think makes it clear... |

| The Streets – Geezers Need Excitement Lyrics

"Just to recap for those in the back this is everyday tit for tat
You O you D your own car pay back fee suddenly he's the buddy"
Should read
"Just to recap for those in the back this is everyday tit for tat
You owe your dealer, can't pay back fee, suddenly he's the baddy" |

| Arab Strap – Here We Go Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
Great song, but not one for dark moments
It's about a failing relationship, jealousy and trying to hold something together that's really not going to make it
Been there, know the pain
Such a gorgeously simple song about such a common agony |

| Idaho – God's Green Earth Lyrics

Think it should be "rake the aisle clean", as in a church
Great song, wonderfully melancholic
Meaning? No idea! |

| Throwing Muses – Crabtown Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
coo, number 1
This is just the loveliest song, sounds like a couple at the seaside having a fling - lost my head/lost my heart - and trying to keep that momentum.
The wonderful phrase "Oh, we can't hardly stand..." is full of longing and wanting.
Just gorgeous. |

LLUWD2005 - I think you read more than was there, the whole album's dead sexy and Morphine were not that sort of band - it's about getting down to it, IYKWIM
As for the blue toes, nail varnish anyone?
Great song |

I adore Souvlaki, their second album. Having heard this for the first time today - a mere 20 eyars after its release - I must buy a copy of Pygmalion, the album that this came from.
And Rachel Goswell was a total, total fox, mmmmmmmm |

| Pale Saints – Sight Of You Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
This is such a great song, from a great album
It's - to my mind - clearly about a guy whose girl has left him but is still around, with another guy. The pain's all too evident and raw, because he still has feelings for her, and this manifests as anger towards her new man. |

| Lamb – Zero Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
It's about miscarriage. She'd just lost a baby and wrote this; achingly sad song.
And it should be "may an angel smile upon me and give you life to give you life"
And the last lines are "I'd give everything, to give you life..." |
