| Elbow – Lippy Kids Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
The correct lyrics are in the album booklet btw.
This song is my favourite from Build a Rocket boys. The song is somewhat similar to the song 'Switching off' from Cast of thousands in the fact that it seems to be from a similar childhood memory of Guys. That song had lyrics such as 'Early evening June' and' Loves First blush' and was about when you die remembering the best moment/time of your life you ever had...this one it seems being with a girl and having a specific memory in June.
Lippy kids is about the same memory and this time reflecting how modern day kids dont realise that those days are the best of your life and 'golden' as he reflects that 'One long June' he had with a certain girl.
Thats my interpritation anyways |

My fav song from Blue lights on the Runway. I think I read in an interview that Paul Noonan saif this song was for his mammy lol. Its definately about looking back and remembering his childhood with his mam and how hes possibly lost touch with who he was back then and the relationship he used to have...thats being in a band for you lol

This song reminds me of a particular feeling you get in a place or a time of year. I relate quite a bit to this because every autumn time you get colder nights, and a place can bring feelings of someone rushing back...and yet they can be gone..but the memorys never fade |

guy said in an interview that its based on the theory that when you die you can see your whole life flash before your eyes, this song takes it one step further in the fact that if you have a really good memory of something then you can choose that as the last thing you see before you die...your final scene |

my girlfriend was my life and she just dumped me out fo the blue...and i kept thinking what did i do wrong

| Bell X1 – Eve, The Apple of my Eye Lyrics

my favourite song of all time
this is about a couple who dont really want to admit they are breaking up. they both keep wanting to give it one more try. if one leaves the other is gutted and vice versa.
the biblic references are great too...eve says lets give it a try....ie its wrong but the temptation is there to say what the hell and give it another go...but really they share nothing and are probably wong for eachother |

i think this song is about reaching for your own goals but keep thinking you will never get it and everything is going wrong for you...but when you think about it you make your own luck and if you try hard enough you get what you want |
