| Meat Loaf – Martha Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
this is originally by Tom Waits... Meat Loaf does a great cover of it but still... how could it beat the original? Tom Waits is one of the greatest artists the world will ever know... the lyrics are quite obvious... one of the saddest songs ever written |

| Nirvana – Pennyroyal Tea Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It is quite strange and sad that no one has mentioned Leonard Cohen besides congergation... he started out a poet (and still is)... then put out two novels (Beautiful Losers is often considered one of the greatest books from Canada) and started a music career in the late 60's until well... hes still around... hes often considered one of the greatest song writers along with Dylan... originally he did folk music and later changed quite a bit... his work is considered both extremely depressing and very romantic now go and buy everything the man has done because he is amazing I'm not exactly sure what the line in this song is supposed to mean because i don't know much about Nirvana or Kurt (i've always found the group dreadfully overrated)... but its probably not a good thing as Leonards known for being quite the depressing man |
