| M.I.A. – Mango Pickle Down River Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is so god awful horrible that I could care less what it means and I don't care if it's about poverty or whatever, it just sucks. | |
| New Order – Waiting for the Sirens' Call Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
this song is partially a passage from the book, The Odyssey. It's more ambiguous then it leads on to be and I don't suppose most people would catch it. In the mean time our good ship, with that perfect wind to drive her, fast approached the Sirens' Isle. But now the breeze dropped, some power lulled the waves, and a breathless calm set in. Rising from their seats my men drew in the sail and threw it into the hold, then sat down at the oars, and churned the water white with blades of polished pine. Meanwhile I took a large round of wax, cut it up small with my sword, and kneaded the pieces with all the strength of my fingers. The wax soon yielded to my vigorous treatment and grew warm, for I had the rays of my Lord the Sun to help me. I took each of my men in turn and plugged their ears with it. They then made me a prisoner on my ship by binding me hand and foot, standing me up by the step of the mast and tying the rope's ends to the mast itself. This done, they sat down once more and struck the grey water with their oars. -We made good progress and had just come within call of the shore when the Sirens became aware that a ship was swiftly bearing down upon them, and broke into their liquid song. -"Draw near," they sang, "illustrious Odysseus, flower of the Achaean chivalry, and bring your ship to rest so that you may hear our voices. No seaoman ever sailed his black ship past this spot without listening to the sweet tonest that flow from our lips . . . ." -The lovely voices came to me across the water, and my heart was filled with such a longing to listen that with nod and frown I signed to my men to set me free. |

| The Killers – Believe Me Natalie Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
what futurfaildnovlist wrote about the song is truly beautiful especially: "Natalie could be a middle aged man stuck in a dead-end job as he watches the essence of his life slip through the hand he once thought held a tight grip on his dreams" |

| New Order – 5 8 6 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
great song I'd say it's one of those highly underrated songs from new order |
|
| The Killers – Read My Mind Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| the fact that most critics slammed this song yet it somehow ended up on top 20 lists is a testament on how critics are quick to dispel anything popular without giving it it's true merit. This song deserves the attention it garnered and Sam's Town is a great album that shouldn't be missed. | |
| Bob Seger – Turn The Page Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| wow, this got totally ruined by a bunch of Metallica kiddies. This is one of those songs that should NEVER have been remade. Nothing, you hear me blink 182, emo queers, NOTHING will compare to Bob Seger's original heart felt version. Their his words and his emotions. | |
| Joy Division – Ceremony Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think was mainly an ode to his wife. It's his good-bye song. More than likely the lyrics "watching forver" are aimed at a person's dealing with a loss, in this case, the loss of Ian's life to be a burden for his bandmates, wife, and mistress. | |
| Sarah McLachlan – Witness Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think about someone who is passionate about their lover and they stuggle with life everyday, so she wonders if it'll always be like this or will there be a time of solace when they die. | |
| Joy Division – Glass Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song is about trying to have sex after you've busted a nut. | |
| The Beatles – Hey Jude Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
by far the best Beatles song I think after listening to all their albums and going through all their songs, this one seems to have the most longevity just my $.02 |
|
| Fall Out Boy – Dance, Dance Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I heard the lead singer is upset with this song so he's planning to fornicate with another man to alienate his fans any truth to this rumor? |
|
| Interpol – Slow Hands Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm with bamagero It's one of the few Interpol songs I can't listen to And I like nearly all their songs |
|
| Interpol – Not Even Jail Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I agree, underrated and underappreciated. I think it's the best song on Antics. |
|
| Kent – Unprofessional Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
probably one of my favorite songs also one of the best unknown bands (at least as far as the US is concerned) |
|
| Interpol – Specialist Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| what album is this song from? | |
| Interpol – Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think this is the song that "defines" the band and it seems like "take you on a cruise" borrows too much from the formula that made this song so good |
