| Big Brother & The Holding Company – Summertime Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Sorry, Age old moods, but you're wrong. Artie Shaw would have been 8 years old in 1918. He didn't learn to play music till he was 15. Billie Holliday would have been 9 years old in 1924. She didn't start singing till the early 1930's. Regardless, the song is an original composition by Gershwin, who wrote it in the mid 1930's. |

| The Jesus and Mary Chain – Some Candy Talking Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
From the Wikipedia: In a 2005 interview with Jim Reid featured in Filter Magazine, Reid noted that "'Some Candy Talking' had nothing to do with drugs, actually. It was just something a radio DJ picked up on, and it was banned in all the major radio stations in the UK." |

| Converge – Phoenix in Flames Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song is about Jane Doe moving on, completely transfering her love to someone else. | |
| Converge – Phoenix in Flight Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Jane Doe still loves him, in some way or another. The Phoenix represents this love. He is asking her to move on, to let her love burn out completely. Then it will be reborn, she'll love someone else as she loved him. And in the end all he wants is for her to remember him, and what they had. | |

http://www.robotix.org/sounds/index_2.html check out the picture of the the second 7-inch. the title of the song (orchard) is on the bottom. and regardless, the band would have to give songs titles, otherwise how would they be able to talk to eachother about them? what would they write down on their setlists? |

| The Blood Brothers – Love Rhymes with Hideous Car Wreck Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| decodethemoans, i don't think he means a garbage collector literally. he throwing the girl away, like she's garbage. so anyone who picks her up is a garbage collector. | |
| Big Brother & The Holding Company – Summertime Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
It's from the opera "Porgy and Bess" (1934), composed by George Gerswhin with the lyrics for "Summertime" written by DuBose Heyward. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong used to sing it as a duet, but I don't know if it was one in the opera. As for for the earliest recording, I have no clue. It could easily be Billie Holiday, but I've heard a version by Bessie Smith that might predate it. As for this version, no it's not Hendrix but Sam Andrew and James Gurley on guitar. |

| AFI – Who Knew? Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| this should have been included on black sails in the sunset. i think it's one of their strongest songs from that recording session. | |
| Good Clean Fun – Victory Records Sucks Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"50 cent shows, no cars we walked Both ways through the snow (up hill)" i think this song is fairly tongue in cheek. it's supporting the underground, but it's also making fun of people who scream "sellout" at bands trying to support themselves. "If you want to be punk, if you want to be cool Don't forget the golden rule Stay underground, you must stay poor Don't grow up and don't ask for more" how can you listen to that verse and think he's being totally serious? |

| American Nightmare – There's A Black Hole In The Shadow Of The Pru Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
this was the first american nightmare song i really got into, and fuck it is amazing. i'm thinking that maybe the person he loved died before he had a chance to them how he felt ->"i could have died with you". and now he's thinking about suicide "with love and a gun to my head" and "these days aren't gonna last too long" i think these are wes' best lyrics |

| Transplants – Tall Cans In The Air Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
umm... guaranteed if tim from rancid and travis from blink 182 WEREN'T in this band no one would give a shit. true punks (if there was such a thing) would hate this shit for what it is, this is punk nu-metal |

| Nada Surf – Popular Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
i find it disheartening that so many people have made comments dissing the "so called 'popular' people" at their school. if they are truely bad people than does making fun of them or hating them make you any better than they are. they are people too, and they have their own problems. i'd like to think that the song isn't about popular people in specific more like how society just arbitrarily picks popular people. anyway... so the one-month steady plan, was the singer serious or was it just more satire about popularity? intially i was leaning towards serious, but then he gets kinda sarcastic with the whole "you're so novel" bit. what do you think? |

| Tiger Army – Twenty Flight Rock Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
yeah it is a cover, it's originally by Eddie Cochran. i think Tiger Army's version is better, but i'm biased. Paul McCartney played this song to impress John Lennon when they first met in 1957. |
