| Death in June – The Bunker Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
Here are the lyrics to this song: I'm alone You're alone The weary moon From the night before Sinks into the pit Of dawn's gold door The weary moon It falls from view The devil and I Will follow you He's alone She's alone And, whilst you think you've known me For a very, very long time You never hate You never will Be close to me Or, mine You're alone We're alone They're alone They are all alone We're all alone So alone Stone upon stone |

| The Birthday Party – Happy Birthday Lyrics | 2 years ago |

@[G:48332], F#, E Interested in the part about "dog chair". I thought it meant that the subject, and/or one of the other kids, had retained the toddler-ish habit of straddling the family dog like a horse - until on his eleventh birthday the dog finally lost patience and attacked/bit the sitter(s), and then went on a vandalism spree "rampaging" "round and round the house". Whether G, F, E's sex-based theory holds up depends on whether you hear "fufu" or "frou-frou" - listening again I hear the latter. |

| @[Boss:48049] Man The title might be totally random - it comes from a weak joke in an Alan Bennett play: "I was distantly related to the Woolf family, through my Alsatian cousin" | |

| The Jam – Don't Tell Them You're Sane Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
This is the second of the two songs on the album inspired by One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. (Where its prequel The Combine ended abruptly, here the lyrics run out, and then there is an unusual guitar-noise coda. Which suggests that this was possibly meant to be the middle section of a suite - co-written by Weller and Foxton. Certainly the concept could have been developed further than two songs). |

| The Jam – The Combine Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
This is the first of two consecutive songs on the Modern World album inspired by the novel/film One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. The combine (as in combine harvester) is a metaphor for the oppressive, identity-crushing power of the conformist conservative majority of the population. The final lines clearly locate the narrative, not in the middle America of Ken Kesey's hospital-based story, but in 1970s Britain. The abrupt end indicates that this song was definitely conceived as part of a suite. |

| National Youth Jazz Orchestra (UK) – But Me No Buts Lyrics | 2 years ago |

Corrections to this lyric: The missing lyrics are: Verse 1 - We've gotta keep moving, get out of our ruts Bridge 1 - You say you like to take things slowly Bridge 2 - The truth to you is nothing holy Last line of Bridge 2 - I'd never complain when I'm left in the rain... Mistakes Bridge 1, last lines - If I left you alone you'd never be late Verse 4 - "think about", not "focus on" Also, there's a misprint - "pear"="pearl" And in verse 2 I hear "wisdom" (not "reasons") |

| Frank Zappa – Shove It Right In Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| BTW: "She finishes her call" is a quaint old euphemism for bodily functions. If she'd been finishing a "long call" she would have been shitting instead of pissing! | |

This is the third part of the suite beginning with She Painted Up Her Face and continuing with Half A Dozen Provocative Squats. (The orchestral interludes on the 200 Motels album are not integral). Frank described it as an important piece of work lyrically speaking, because (in the second section) it took a moment to speculate on what might be motivating a groupie who - as the Shove It section establishes - is going to participate in an orgy. |

@[kexpseattle:45470] This subject came up re another song, and we were assured that neither "I was" nor "I were" can be definitively shown to be incorrect as a subjunctive. "I was" seems to be the formation associated with "working class" speech, though. While we're splitting hairs about the song's second-bridge, I think it may be punctuated incorrectly: "a comma too frequent". Because it's not stuttering - rather it's saying "...I wouldn't treat myself the way you treat yourself". Probably! |

Heard this recently for the first time in ages, and, well, a reminder that watered-down pop-rap matches the worst of the real stuff when it comes to the silly-strut, boasting about nothing much, as here. Also, in my day "doing the do" meant shitting, taking a dump. |

| The Jackson 5 – The Love You Save Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| In the R&B tradition of "answer songs", the title/hook of this are borrowed from an earlier Joe Tex song - refer to https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858725184/ | |
| Tyson James – 2 Genders Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
The best thing you can say about this is that it at least uses the word "gender" correctly. "Gender" means the biological condition of being male or female - it does NOT mean a conception of how males or female should behave - something which exists only in a person's head, which is to say, doesn't "exist" at all. That is the reason we imported the word Gender into the English language - in order that we might have a word for the biological condition of being male or female. The word "sex" cannot, practically speaking, be used in such a concept - because "sex" (along with its even more pretentious counterpart, "sexual intercourse") is also used, in the language of pretentious mental-inadequates, as a substitute for the word "fu..ck:in.g". Beyond that, the lyric is worthless. A person harbouring those delusions which are commonly referred to as "religious" or "spiritual" beliefs clearly does not have the basic perceptual abilities to form a valid opinion on anything. And it is absurd for such a person to claim support for "the science" - when their whole perception of life, from moment to moment, is governed by a profoundly anti-"science"/anti-reality set of beliefs. |
