The Jesus and Mary Chain – Just Like Honey Lyrics 3 years ago
The songwriter did a bit of self-censoring. The scum? No, his cum. The girl cheats on him, but he still wants her and will even eat her out after the other guy has his way with her.

Lush – Last Night Lyrics 7 years ago
In earlier interviews, Emma and Miki sounded rather apologetic about not being able to play instruments, and about using effects to drown out their voices. There was really no need to be so humble. Even their first songs were quite brilliant.

With the song Last Night, Emma finally stands up for herself. With the recipes that she's been cooking for us, she rightfully claims her place among rock's greatest composers and guitarists. The art is not in making the guitar scream, but in making our bodies feel brand new. Emma does that better than most.

Lush – Nothing Natural Lyrics 8 years ago
I suppose it's possible that this song has something to do with the book of the same name, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this song is about Los Angeles.

Coldplay – Viva la Vida Lyrics 8 years ago
No one figured it out yet? It's usually best not to look too far.

Chris Martin is singing about himself. He used to rule the world as a rock star. Then he got Gwyneth Paltrow pregnant and had to stay home to change poopie diapers. The experience must have bruised his rock star ego. (I'm not suggesting he wasn't happy being a dad.) Eventually he worked his way through it, and understood that this is not the end.

Lush – Sweetness And Light Lyrics 8 years ago
Most Lush songs have autobiographical elements. This one is no different.

Mike and Emma were "misfits in an environment of privilege" (according to The Guardian) until they met when they were 14. Or in their own words, from a few years before they formed Lush: "Each were isolated in their own septic tank until that glorious day when their paths crossed and they realised that their destinies were to go hand-in-hand."

This is what Emma writes about in Sweetness And Light. Miki is the apple in disguise; the weird girl with the spiky red hair who turned out to be a good friend.
