| Steely Dan – Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me) Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
|
For all Don and Walt's double speak about the song being about a neighbour,it is obvious to me that it it really about a sleazy buinessman's 'date' with a prostitute.The first LP is lyrically quite influenced by Zappa,and his lyrics of double standards and the seedy sexual underbelly of American straight society. |

| Steely Dan – Dr Wu Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
|
I find this song extremely moving.My meaning is that the song is about having someone in your life that will never let you down and will always be there for you..the romance between two junkies,both at the bottom but who still look out for each other and still keep the essence of being human. |

| Prefab Sprout – Bonny Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
|
Paddy's vocals on this are stunning,full of guilt and hurt.But the song is more sophisticated than a simple lost love song of 'baby come back, I screwed up' There is so much delibarate ambiguity in the lyrics. Bonny could be a noun or a verb in the context of the song. |

This song makes me cry.It drags up any old buried feelings I have for lost forever lovers.A perfect pop song,and great guitar riff! |

| The Sundays – Through The Dark Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
|
Reading the lyrics I get the images of getting lost in movies,particularly the old ones shown on afternoon TV.Hoverer when I am listening to the song I get the image of a romantic relationship that is just forming,but already is on some shaky ground. |
