We were drunk and carsick when we rolled into town
Pulling up to the drive-in there was no one around
When the lights unfolded from the sky we were the only ones to be found
They were soaring through the sky
We were left on the ground

Sitting in the living room the dog is catching caramel corn
I never wanted a change
Brushing teeth and combing hair, I guess they do this everywhere
I think it's time for a change, I never wanted a change
I guess it's time for a change

    When i saw them in Chicago at the Metro, before they played this song he said "Here's a song about being abducted by Aliens". That may not be verbatim. Anyway, it makes sense. I just wonder what the change part is about? Almost seems like an alien getting acclimated to normal human life.

    Probably my favorite MBD song. You have not lived until you've seen it live, which is rare. They played this for the first time in three years at the Braid show in Detroit, and I believe also at the Chicago show the night before. Quite an experience.

    So chill. Reminds me of my girlfriend. Which is bad I guess, if you look at the lyrics.

    I saw them a few months ago. Murder by Death is fucking amazing live. If you ever get the chance, even if you have to sell family members or body parts, by all means. do it!

    Wierd, they were Little Joe Gould forever and no one cared, I was lucky enough to be at the 2nd Story show when they announced their name change, or so I was told, don\'t remember. Good stuff though and yeah this song is awsome.

    I kind of wish they would have kept the name Little Joe Gould. It's wonderful. If I'm not mistaken, it comes from a poem by e.e. Cummings. Great poem, too. All well, Murder by Death is good as well.

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
