| Babyshambles – Unbilotitled Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Probably my favourite song on this album, so melancholy but angsty at the same time, like a shrug heavy with subtext. If it helps anyone enjoy the song more for whatever reason, Wolfman is Peter Wolfe, Peter Doherty's friend and fellow heroin user. |

| The Vaccines – No Hope Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| That's exactly what it's about, it's an incredible song and the lyrics resonate with so many people, especially nowadays. | |
| The Rolling Stones – Under My Thumb Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Oh and for what it's worth, "under the thumb" is a phrase normally applied to MEN to imply that they girlfriends/wifes are preventing them from doing what they would wish to, for example: "is trev coming out tongiht for some beers?", "nah, he's under the thumb again!". So you see, this song is a play on that reversal of power. Exploring the power within a relationship is a rarely touched upon subject for songwriters and judging by the comments in here it's not surprising why. What a shame. |

| The Rolling Stones – Under My Thumb Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
So many pathetic people infecting the comments of this fantastic song. It's a song about feelings. We've all felt it, regardless of gender, get off your high horses for long enough to realise that it's a fucking song and a fantastic one at that. Do you think you'll get laid if you go around condemning this song as misogynistic? |

| Cat Stevens – Hard Headed Woman Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I was actually referring to one incident specifically, that of the salman rushdie's death threats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPimaisocv4 I imagine you've seen it before but tell me that that isn't vile hatred. no matter what he said subsequently to that, for me, that is unforgivable. |
|
| Cat Stevens – Hard Headed Woman Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
truely his best song ever, in my opinion. ludicrous that a single human being can write a song like this and at the same time produce such vile hatred as this man has. it's beyond me. beautiful music and lyrics, makes me weep. |
|
| The White Stripes – Fell In Love With A Girl Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
does a song need to be more than that to be a great song? I think sometimes the simple songs are just as good as the deeply profound ones. this song just injects you with energy and spirit, it's fantastic, and it makes you feel fantastic! |

Best stereophonics song ever. Worst transcription ever! separate the lines man :). So fantastic. |

| Oasis – Morning Glory Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Totally agree with scar_eire here! This is the way I've always interpreted as I've been listening to it from a very young age. Now when I'm at the mirror shaving this song alllwayssss comes in to my head and I just have to go and stick it on, what a track! |

| The National – England Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
cool to see all this discussion about which are the correct lyrics. but this is Song Meanings, really, and I haven't seen anyone really express what these lyrics mean to them, or what they think the lyrics mean to the artist. |

Gunna comment on my own transcription. I bloody love this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dhR15ixIXg |

| Pavement – Range Life Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| You're a legend for discovering this. I've been wondering for ages what range life was all about. It totally fits in with the rest of the chorus, settling down, and all that. Genius. | |
| Morrissey – Suedehead Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song changed my life. | |
| Artic Monkeys – D is for Dangerous Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
He knew what he wanted to say But he didn't know how to word it The dirty little Herbert Was thinking an escape route The place was well guarded The guiltiness that started Soon as the other part had stopped D is for Delightful And try and keep your trousers on I think you should know you're his favourite worst nightmare D is for... Desperately trying to simulate what it was that was alright Three quarters of an hour ago That had led him to be in a position And every ? mission And every ? episode He's nearing the brink but he thinks first The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene He's nearing the brink but he thinks first The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene He's nearing the brink but he thinks first The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene He's nearing the brink but he thinks first The parallel I think you should know you're his favourite worst nightmare D is for delightful And try and keep your trousers on You should know you're his favourite worst nightmare |

| The Rolling Stones – Under My Thumb Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Truest comment ever. Me and my mate often talk about what it is to be 'bad ass', but this song just defines bad ass in every single way. Mick is probably the coolest cat to have ever lived. | |
| The Cribs – We Share the Same Skies Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| this song is absolutely amazing, i can't stop listening to it! best off new album (from first few listens, at least) | |
| The Cribs – Mirror Kissers Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| they're one of the only genuine indie acts out there. | |
| The Streets – Could Well Be In Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| lovelovelove this song. like most people commented, i love the detail he goes in to, really conjures up similar scenarios we might have been in ourselves, while listening to the song. | |
| Oasis – Strange Thing Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| this song is amazing, and it feels kind of sad listening to this song, which was recorded in what ... 1993? and now they've split up, all but a few hours ago. | |
| Graham Coxon – You & I Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| such a brilliant song, the guitar, the drums, everything is so punky and kick ass! makes me want to dance so bad. | |
| The Cribs – You Were Always The One Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| such an amazing song, the best song to go crazy dancing to, in the world, ever. | |
| Oasis – Live Forever Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I disagree, original album version with liam on vocals far outclasses noel's acoustic. The drums on the original are just so powerful. | |
| Graham Coxon – A Day Is Far Too Long Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| adore this song. | |
| Oasis – Stand By Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| sounds pretty far-fetched to me, but however you see it is up to you :). | |
| Peter Doherty – Last of the English Roses Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Amazing song, lyrics are pretty obvious, a schoolboy crush. In an interview on "The Late Late Show" Peter says it's about a girl he fancied at school called Aisleyne Hitchcock if I heard correctly.. | |
| The Cribs – Another Number. Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| fantastic interpretation. | |
| The Cribs – You Were Always The One Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| this song feels so damn relevant to me haha. absolutely bloody great song! | |
| The Maccabees – Lego Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think it's simply about growing up. The first two verses seem like memories of childhood. The chorus seems to me to be a metaphor for growing up and how that in childhood they have that hand to hold and the advice of looking left and right and someone to keep them save, but once they've crossed the road, they don't want to let go into adulthood, so they "hold on" (to childhood). "only one where once stood four and closest to the kitchen floor family favourite" I love this verse, it's fantastic. Basically I read it as there used to be 4 children in the family, but three have grown up and moved out, and just the one is left, the one who's "closest to the kitchen floor", i.e., the smallest and youngest one (stereotypically the youngest is always the "family favourite"). I think not only is it about growing up but maybe specifically about moving out, "there wasn't a dry eye" makes me think they're describing specific occasion where there were tears, as opposed to the vagueness of growing up. « Just a thought :) |

| Bloc Party – On Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Lyrics so blatantly about drugs are really cliché in my opinion. Despite liking the song the lyrics kinda ruin it for me. *shrug* | |
| The Kinks – Stop Your Sobbing Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I adore this song. Such a great song to sing along to. Meaning is pretty conspicuous. |
|
| Herman's Hermits – I'm Into Something Good Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
an absolutely amazing song, just lifts me up every time i hear it. the meaning is pretty implicit .. it is written anecdotally after-all. |
|
| The Maccabees – Precious Time Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| pure love | |
| The Maccabees – X-Ray Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| "She's got x-ray vision" I think it should be "a magic intuition" OR "romantic intuition" can't quite decipher which, but I think the latter. | |
| The Maccabees – Good Old Bill Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Absolutely excellent interpretation jonwood1, I doubt anyone will top that. It fits so nicely. I'd never heard of the Havilland Hornet and that unusual use of "crumpet"! Thanks. |
|
| The Maccabees – Toothpaste Kisses Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
these lyrics are really wrong. half of it's wrong and half of it's not there. The suggestions above are all right. Plus you need the third verse which starts: Stay with me, Stay with you |
