This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Honey, honey
My you did look dapper in your mothers
Old green scarf
With your famous Auntie Aurthur's trousers on
You were slapped by that slapper
And how we all laughed
But she laughed the loudest
Oh in ninety-three
You could charm the bees nees of the bees
Cheeky you'd say and we all fell around
Rolling 'round the playground
Saucy you'd say and we all fell about
Rolling 'round the playground
In the ninety-four
We all sang
Skipping and dancing hand in hand
Yeah with all the boys together
And all the girls together
She's the last of the English roses
She's the last of the English roses
(I wish to be so whirl awake again)
She knows her Rodney's from her Stanley's
And her Kappas from her Reeboks
And her tit from her tat
And Winston's from her Enok's
It's fine and take what I
Coming out, coming alive
Round the Snooker table
You dance the Frutti-Tutti
She almost spilled her lager
Toasting girls of great beauty
But the closing moved by
Coming of age, coming alive
All the boys together
And all the girls together
She's the last of the English roses
She's the last of the English roses
Yeah she's the last of the English roses
She's the last of, last of the English
English roses
Ah sometimes you can't change
There'll be no place
Ce soir, disons chez moi
Enfin je compte de toi
Je te drague la rose mystique
Tu l'arrose mystique?
Ha, vas-y
C'est mon monde de soleil
My you did look dapper in your mothers
Old green scarf
With your famous Auntie Aurthur's trousers on
You were slapped by that slapper
And how we all laughed
But she laughed the loudest
Oh in ninety-three
You could charm the bees nees of the bees
Cheeky you'd say and we all fell around
Rolling 'round the playground
Saucy you'd say and we all fell about
Rolling 'round the playground
In the ninety-four
We all sang
Skipping and dancing hand in hand
Yeah with all the boys together
And all the girls together
She's the last of the English roses
She's the last of the English roses
(I wish to be so whirl awake again)
She knows her Rodney's from her Stanley's
And her Kappas from her Reeboks
And her tit from her tat
And Winston's from her Enok's
It's fine and take what I
Coming out, coming alive
Round the Snooker table
You dance the Frutti-Tutti
She almost spilled her lager
Toasting girls of great beauty
But the closing moved by
Coming of age, coming alive
All the boys together
And all the girls together
She's the last of the English roses
She's the last of the English roses
Yeah she's the last of the English roses
She's the last of, last of the English
English roses
Ah sometimes you can't change
There'll be no place

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
The thing he's mumbling in French at the end is supposed to be a quote from 'Our Lady of the Flowers' by Jean Genet, which is one of Peter's favourite books. I remember him talking in an interview about the way the song seems to be written about a girl, but then in the video, it turns out that The Last of the English Roses is actually a boy. That could be inspired by the book, as it explains the story of a man who is usually referred to in the feminine and Our Lady of the Flowers is in fact a boy as well.
Amazing song, lyrics are pretty obvious, a schoolboy crush. In an interview on "The Late Late Show" Peter says it's about a girl he fancied at school called Aisleyne Hitchcock if I heard correctly..
What do those Rodneys,Stanleys,Winstons,Enochs mean? I've been searching all around the internet and can't find the answer……
I assume Rodney and Stanley refers to Rodney Marsh and Stanley Matthews both football players, and Winston and Enoch refer to Winston Churchill and Enoch Powell
Rodney Marsh and Stan Bowles were both legendary footballers that played for QPR, Who Pete supports.
Winston Churchill, Enoch Powell were liberal and conservative politicians prominent in the early-mid 20th century. Pete is lamenting the enlish shool lessons and pop culture.
Doherty talking about the meaning behind the lyric "With your famous Auntie Arthur's trousers on":
"[My uncle] had this pair of trousers that where at the bottom of my Nan’s wardrobe for ages and I, when I used to go and stay with her in summers in Liverpool, I’d root about, and I found them; and I wore them! I thought I was the bollocks in those trousers! There was a kebab shop.. ..and these trousers, I thought they'd give me magic powers, I was about 15 and I was a bit drunk and the fella said, "Sorry mate, we're closed mate", and I said; "Fuckin’ closed? Give me a fuckin' kebab!" and he chased me up the street with a skewer, but the trousers didn't give in. They were horrible!"
The lyric "she knows her Rodneys from her Stanleys" could be a reference to sit-coms 'Only Fools and Horses' and 'Porridge,' or to footballers Stanley Bowles and Rodney Marsh. "And her Winstons from her Enochs" refers to English politicians Winston Churchill and Enoch Powell, and possibly to footballers Enoch Showunmi and Gary Winston Lineker. At the end of the song, Doherty recites, in French, lines from Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet.
Apparently the song is about some girl he went to school with .... i forget her name. Look on youtube for Peter Doherty with Patrick Kenny ... though it coulda been the most recent one with Johnathan Ross, I forget because I watched two back to back. Dont expect much from the interview, typical drugs Kate Moss and his Dad.
i think it is about a boy as some of the things they are doing is quite masculine like having pints and getting slapped by slappers (girls) and it takes place in a time of adolesence, when pete might have had some confused sexaul thoughts about a friend
Bottom line is that he is praising a girl who he has a huge crush on for being in touch with everything from coolness and style to history and soccer. The last of the English rose suggests that she is a dying breed of the complete woman in England- Kind of a "they don't make em like they used to" mentality.
I must say that his references, although some juvenile, are quite deep. This only adds to the fact that she is the perfect idea of a beautiful, intelectual woman in the day and age of texting and overall dumbness of the world as it was and as it is.
Great Song Pete!
The obvious and mainstream interpretation is that it is about a female crush.
However, consider the fact that it could be about a male:
Just a thought, one of controversy, but one backed up with a valid argument.
