| Dire Straits – Money For Nothing Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Dire straits is a phrase people say when they are in financial trouble, "you're in dire straits." The name was suggested to Mark Knopfler because of the bands finacial situation. The song is about rising up out of the rat race and becoming a rock star, knopfler overhead workmen doing renovations on his house and this is where some of the lyrics come from. |

| Beastie Boys – Shadrach Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Badfish64, i think the main part of the whole Shadrach Mesach and Abednago story is that they were pulled out of the fire by angels and proceeded to dance above it. | |

| At the Drive-In – Napoleon Solo Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
"lets_start_over", the reference to texas is to do with the death of 2 girls that cedric used to be in a band with and the whole band was friends with, they died in car crash on there way back to elpaso from austin. (austins yellow brick road= freeway/turnpike) march 23rd is the day the car crash was on. "the music died" and "paved a wave of distance" is because during the earlier years of the members of atdi's career there was only a small handful of bands in the el-paso area and none of the members where girls, these 2 girls cedric were in a band with was basically the first elpaso band with girls in it, so they "paved" the way for other girls. |

| At the Drive-In – Blue Tag Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| this is a long shot, but "burning on the borders like we said we would", like quarreling middle easten countrys?, iraq-iran conflict or something to that effect, and "with 12 hard years of currency, we trade it all for the current scene", the government ignoring the peoples needs and spending all tax money on armed forces. | |

alpha5099, im probably mistaken but i think "kinko's" is a fast food chain in america sorta like mcdonalds, "when i told her that i used to fry", i think is a reference to working the fryer (to cook french fries) at "kinko's", which is regarded as a really bad job and you get minimum wage. |
