| Placebo – Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush cover) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Kate Bush, in her own words. Excerpt from New Music interview, November 1985. You have this so called ``running up that hill'' in which you want to make a deal with god. What exactly is the deal you want to make? "t's the two people in the song, a man and a woman, that what to make a deal with God in order to swap places with each other. That if the man could be the woman, and vice-versa, they would understand what it's like from that other person's point of view and that perhaps there'd be less problems in the relationship". (1985, Late November, The New Music) |

| Phil Collins – I Wish It Would Rain Down Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
It's only a guess, but Phil Collins is a bit of a Motown afficianado, I believe, and there is a Tempations song, "I wish it would rain", in which the lyricist wishes it would rain so nobody will see him crying, and I bet Phil Collins borrowed that part of that Lyric to express that sentiment. The songs are different in other respects, but I bet that is the meaning of the refrain, "I wish it would rain down". |
