@[NDKoba:55217] You're right on the money. It was exactly my first thought when I heard it, too. Artist's can't help but add biography to their lyrics. |

This is a nice tune that's blended with lyrics regarding Kim's antipathy towards her former bandmate Black Francis (Charles Thompson). |

@[vladi99:55214] Of course you have to mention the bass playing. Women need any compliment they can get in order to get by in this 'patriarchal system'. |

@[foreverdrone:55184] Extremely professional type review of another ambiguous Stipe lyric. Congratulations. The use of cinematic editing techniques is both wonderful and appropriate. I'm amazed you didn't mention Stipe's well known condition of synaesthesia in relation to his 'telling' in an unconventional narrative. You almost make Stipe into a Lynchian lyricist. |

@[notashtonishing:55177] What an interesting angle you've taken regarding Bob's 'fear of technology', considering that he used it being in a band and travelling to their performances. Very interesting, indeed. |

@[mrbun2729:55176] Yes, Geldof spoke on its release as not glamourising the event, but commenting on the absurd cruelty of it. He certainly didn't want to make the shooter (in)famous. He thought it was (obviously) abhorrent. |

@[CVReynolds:55122] He said this long after writing it and was just being a fence-sitter. He loves hearing his own voice and being a free thinker, too. I'd take his words with a grain of salt. |

@[RainbowRazor:55121] I like the Pistols and Sid could play, regardless of the trendy put-downs. Yes, Nancy was a bad influence, but they were a couple and we didn't know either of them, so name calling is really pointless. They broke up because John was fed up with the circus they'd become, not because of Sid, and Malcolm tried keeping it going (which never lasted). I've been a fan for decades and have researched them extensively, so I'm not just talking nonsense. |

@[Killedmybaby:55117] It's not about John or Malcolm, he's talking about selfish people in general. He's also being ironic, so don't try to decipher too much about it. |

@[ohwhocares:55108] How much your comment is littered with a modern vocabulary that DIDN'T exist in 1983. The Crying Game was a cover version for the film, it's from the 1960s and has nothing to do with sexuality. Learn something about history before commenting. Live well. |

My favourite show used to be GET SMART. That show had the opposing Chaos and Control as the two powers. This song seems to be a mix of that series and LSD. It's not about any specific thing that has, or could happen, at all. |

| The Beatles – You Never Give Me Your Money Lyrics

This song is a snippet within The Beatles medley of the record's side 2. I know that it's regarded as a slight at Allen Klein, and it may have hints of that in it, but it's also a pretty subtle dismissal of Yoko Ono and how she'd constantly be at the studio while they were creating the album. It's no revelation to say that McCartney thought very little of her presence in the studio AND in John's life. Maybe he was just being faithful to his friend Cynthia, but I can't say for certain, and that's really their own personal affair and has nothing to do with my comment. However, his misgivings of her seem to have bled out in the lyrics of this song ... however oblique. There are lines and images that suggest he's being positive towards her, but all the band had cruelly sarcastic senses of humour, and I take that 'positivity' in the song to him simply being facetious towards her. Though, for a McCartney song, it's not that bad at all, even if it is a 'finger pointing' one. |
