girls with weave, girls without it
she like, "it's all mine" hmm, i doubt it

Burial – Etched Headplate Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
from an interview in The Wire (page 3 http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/347/?pageno=3)
"Sometimes I’d be hearing a song … I was worrying, I’d made all these dark tunes, and I played ‘em to my mum, and she didn’t like them. I was going to give up, but she was sweet, telling me, ‘just do a tune, fuck everyone off, don’t worry about it.’ My dog died, and I was totally gutted about that. She was just like, ‘make a tune, cheer up, stay up late, make a cup of tea’. And I rang her mobile twenty minutes later and I’d made that ‘Archangel’ tune, and I was like, ‘I’ve made the tune, the tune you told me to make.’ And I heard this vocal and it doesn't say it but it sounds like ‘archangel’."
i believe he's talking about Etched Headplate, and then he ended up using the title Archangel for track 2 to make the album more synonymous and themed. |

i agree that the first part could be "bride", even though it sounds like "breath". however, he's most definitely saying instinct and not instant. listen to the "inct", its there. |

The Knife – Forest Families Lyrics

no ones commented on this yet besides corrections? this song is probably my favorite from all the album..
the real meaning is probably a lot more cryptic, but having grown up in and still living in a very rural and beautiful area, to me thats what this song is about |

i called the telephone number that is repeated at the end of the song. a spanish lady picks up, i say "is this the vietnamese telephone ministry?" and she shouts "NO HABLAR ANGLAIS! NO HABLAR ANGLAIS!" and hangs up. i believe when i looked it up it was a los angeles, CA number. |

Xiu Xiu – Tonite And Today (What Chu Talkin Bout) Lyrics

i am in full agreement with horse tamer. its about nostalgia and what happened "last year". its about wishing you could have back what you had once before. there is a live version where jamie sings in replacement: "which boys/which girls/answered your ad/well mom, it was none of them". amazing. |

well youre half right, and im wrong. after some research, i found that a friend of jamie's from san francisco had a mini-band type thing going who covered this song before xiu xiu even existed. jamie sang the vocals for this particular cover. however, not xiu xiu per say because they didnt exist yet. :) |

i swear the riders on the tube tie razors to their elbows,
