decorations fell
a red and green wives tale
a silver line surrounds
rooftops and black clouds
they're on their way to me

well happy birthday to me
the forgotten king
and happy birthday to me
the forgotten king

open hands outstretched
to receive their prize
oh but i could give you anything
yes anything
you're everything to me

well happy birthday to me
the forgotten king
and happy birthday to me
the forgotten king

for you (I'll be forgetting me)
for you (I'll be forgetting me)
for you (I'll be forgetting me)
for you (I'll be forgetting me)

woo!

for you I'll be
forgetting me

    when it keeps saying "for you i'll be foregetting me..." it sounds like "for you i will eff anything..." i felt really bad for thinking of that but even if you watch danny's lips while he's singing it looks like it too. for real.

    crushmycalm hahahahaha... don't feel bad for thinking that at all. cause the guys themselves KNOW that their fans think that. it was a mistake that WAS NOT intentional on the album. i'm friends with all of the guys in the band and we CONSTANTLY give them crap about that song and how they should put a warning on it or something...

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
