| Siouxsie and the Banshees – Hong Kong Garden Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
brilliant song it probably is about a restaurant, but more about the people and culture of the restaurant than just the actual restaurant and its food or other mundane things. |
|
| Siouxsie and the Banshees – Face To Face Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| of course it was written about batman and catwoman and the warped romance they have as their "alter egos", because Danny Elfman is credited as helping write the song. obviously it was written for the film | |
| Robots in Disguise – Transformer Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
yeh, this is the song they took their name from, they said so in an interveiw also sue joked that they were only going to play this song for 30 minutes at their next gig |

| Robots in Disguise – Bed Scenes Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
you'll break free-eating whipped cream yeah i can see how that'd confuse people |
|
| Robots in Disguise – Girl Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
YESSSSSS just ordered Get Rid in from JB HI FI todayyyy...after like months of looking all through the shop and deciding they didn't have it...awesome awesome awesome haven't been this excited about a band 4 a while!!! i've heard la nuit djs got a gun boys turn it up bed scenes and arguments.... this song sounds good like the lyrics |
|
| The Cure – To Wish Impossible Things Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i reckon its just about those flights of fancy (mwaha) that people get when they feel very relaxed with the world and not so concerned with "reality"...then later on they realise they were just getting carried away, but they still wish it all was true | |
| The Cure – Wendy Time Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| if its about siouxsie, wouldn't it appear a bit earlier on? like just after he supposedly 'ditched' the banshees two weeks before an extensive tour? siouxsie still seems angry at him, i read this interview with her... | |
| The Cure – Doing the Unstuck Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"this song is about hopelessness"??? NO!!!!! ITS NOT!!!! its about making changes tearing down the life you've been living and GETTING HAPPY metaphors like "burn down the house" just mean a CHANGE for fucks sake why are people so determined to find melancholy and listless meanings in ALL cure songs, even robert said he likes making pop songs some of the time! |
|
| The Distillers – Hall Of Mirrors Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| the distillers are one of the best punk bands of the last ten years, definately. i am generally disparaging of most recent punk bands but brody's lyrics are just so much better than most of the watered down punk by numbers songs about drugs, "rebelling" and more drugs. | |
| The Distillers – The Young Crazed Peeling Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
jeez, why does every discussion about any band who makes a point of making "alternative" music and living differently turn into one about selling out? WHAT MAKES THE "ALTERNATIVE" PEOPLE SO ELITE THAT THEY THINK THEY SHOULD BE THE ONLY ONES HEARING THESE BANDS MUSIC, AS THEY ARE CLEARLY THE ONLY ONES WORTHY ENOUGH? this is why i fucking hate the modern punk scene, because they all act so fucking superior and look down on others. not cool. not punk. |
|
| The Cure – Truth, Goodness and Beauty Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| patronising | |
| The Cure – Us or Them Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
it's a political song, although the lyrics are very similar to those of The Kiss off KMKMKM "get your fucking voice out of my head i never wanted this i never wanted any of this i wish you were dead" -The Kiss |
|
| The Cure – A Strange Day Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
the blind man... anyone else notice the themes running through pornography, particularly of hands and mouths connected...mouths are of course an obsession of robert smith's but particularly on this album "A hand in my mouth"-Pornography "the blind man kissing my hands"-a strange day "gives my hands the shape of angels"-hanging garden "touch her eyes pressed my stained face"-the figurehead |
|
| The Cure – A Short Term Effect Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
its fairly easy to pass off a lot of his lyrics as about hallucinations, as they seem to be beautiful and strange but have little continuity with the rest of the song, but i think it's a case of him just fitting words around the song as he often claims to do... i think he said in the liner notes of the deluxe edition (or in the book i read on him, either) - "with pornography we had the music then i just added words that seemed to fit or i thought described the music" or something of that effect. then again, he could be lying! |
|
| The Cure – All Cats Are Grey Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i agree it being about an atheist's viewpoint of the afterlife, or in this case, no afterlife, just an everlasting nothingness..."i never thought that i would find myself, in bed amongst the stones"-lying in a grave "no shapes sail on the dark deep lakes and no flags wave me home"-no heaven or hell waiting. during the faith album he was completely reevaluating his faith in (i think it was) christianity. (possibly one of the branches of christianity, cathlocism i'm sorry i don't know much about church, it angers me so i try to ignore it) he said " i was looking deep within myself to see what faith i had if any " and the whole album is based on religion, particularly songs like the holy hour just him observing the church and thinking. |
|
| The Cure – Let's Go to Bed Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| yes i think it is just about a couple pretending, sitting around talking and laughing when they just want to have sex with each other, worried that the other won't want to...acting nonchalant and like they don't really care what the answer is.. | |
| The Cure – Lullaby Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
in an article from 1989, tim pope (the bands longtime video director, and a friend of the band) says that there are "many allegorys in the song to smiffy's druggy past" yes he calls robert smith smiffy. |
|
| The Cure – Meathook Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| why does the line i lost my heart to a meathook have to mean they fell in love with someone, the slaughterhouse art line makes me think its something more gruesome in a jokey way, a texas chainsaw massacre parody | |
| The Cure – Fire in Cairo Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Robert actually said "this song is about the shallowness of pop music" ???? ....how | |
| The Cure – Shake Dog Shake Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| can someone tell me, the top, the sounds on it...are they all similiar to The Caterpillar, that being the only song i've heard from the particular album...i keep saving up money for The Top and spending it on other cure albums at the last minute for some reason...next time | |
| The Cure – If Only Tonight We Could Sleep Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| placebo remind me of a whingy, self absorbed asshole i once knew, mostly because their singer is whingy and self absorbed. their lyrics are generic and just bad. | |
| The Cure – Pictures of You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
shake it like a polaroid picture of you disturbing |
|
| The Cure – Pictures of You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Ok, in robert smiths words, "this song is about destroying a large portion of home videos and pictures" now why he would do that i don't know, not wanting to be linked to memories, good or bad? maybe the past just felt dragging, even the beautiful things too many times revisited. needing to let go of an obsession. AND this song was just playing on fuckin backyard blitz, showing two girls on holiday, then hey ya by outkast came on...bleurgh |
|
| The Cure – 10:15 Saturday Night Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| they never sounded as good again? picky... | |
| The Cure – A Night Like This Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| "witchhunt" is correct, "your trust" is wrong | |
| The Cure – The Blood Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
robert has said that this song definately is about some exotic drink he tried, as heavy as absinthe, which had a picture of christ bleeding on the bottle... sometimes i think theres no need to ever listen to any other band but the cure, they encompass every emotion and need i ever feel |
|
| The Grates – Lies Are Much More Fun Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i just like the part 'no i can't, no i won't'. they're a fun band |
|
| Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Pin Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
how can you say the song doesn't have sexual connotations, after lines like 'i like to sleep with them' ??? her voice is brilliant on this song, and the intro is so...when that second guitar (i think, i'm not good technically) comes in, its just fucking awesome. |
