| David Bowie – China Girl Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Correction for "I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world", that should be "I'll give your men a voice to rule the world" | |
| Leonard Cohen – Winter Lady Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| It's about a man who's with a woman who doesn't really want him so much as need his company. He wants her because she's like his old lover. That's it, though that's plenty. | |
| Courtney Love – Samantha Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
These are the album lyrics posted. Courtney's used these much harsher alternate lyrics live: Samantha, you swore You never turned that trick before Keep waiting for a war You'll never win You'll lose again Watch her wrap her legs around this world Can't take that gutter from the girl Samantha You burned me out Samantha It's over now Samantha Your war Was a lost cause before I came Keep praying Pray for The pretty things you won't get back Watch her wrap her legs around this world Stab the gutter right out of that girl That girl Through villages of ether My crucifixion comes Will you sing my hallelujah? Will you tell me when it's done? Look in my eyes There's nothing there Goodbye I wanted you out of my whole life Goodnight And don't try to move People like you fuck people like me In order to avoid agony People like you fuck people like me In order to avoid suffering People like you fuck people like me Fuck people like you Fuck people like me Fuck people like you Fuck people like me Fuck people like you Fuck people like me (Fuck people like you) Leave your money by the bed (Fuck people like me) (Fuck people like you) In the gutter where you live (Fuck people like me) And I throw it all away And I throw it in your face And if you were on fire I would just throw kerosene Cause I love so much I hate And I hate what you have seen in me Samantha So you think that you could save him And we know that someone died Oh, an unkindness of ravens And we know that Mary lied And through villages of ether Oh, my crucifixion comes Will you sing my hallelujah? Will you tell me when it's done? People like you fuck people like me In order to avoid agony People like you fuck people like me In order to avoid suffering People like you fuck people like me Fuck people like you Fuck people like me Fuck people like you Fuck people like me Fuck people like you Fuck people like me Fuck people like you |

| That's the meaning. Just as true today, with the Af-Pak-Raq wars. The sons of bitches ain't even pretending to pay up anymore. | |
| Nirvana – Sappy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This is about being in an abusive relationship if I ever heard it. | |
| INXS – Mystify Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This is about love at first sight, maybe a rebound love. The broken hearts are the narrator and his object of desire | |
| Fleetwood Mac – Gold Dust Woman Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Absolutely about drugs - silver spoons used for coke and heroin. Also a bit of regret re Lindsay too, I think. | |
| Joe Cocker – Delta Lady Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The legend says Leon Russell wrote this song for his then-lover Rita Coolidge. "Delta" is maybe the most obvious feminine naughty bit reference I've seen in any song. The Wet and naked bit may refer to Eden, since Rita denies ever being naked in Leon's garden. |

| The Cure – Just Like Heaven Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
OK, here goes.... I was told a few things about what the song is about, so here's my take on what it is: Robert and his future wife Mary were on a date near the White Cliffs of Dover. He's showing her magic tricks ("Show me how you do that trick") and she's impressed ("I'll run away with you"). This sort of leads Robert to think of make er, naughty tricks ("I thought of the special ways I had to make her glow"). Mary takes his thoughtiness as being distant and kisses him. This makes him dizzy, hyperventilating (causing him to see "angels / Dancing on a distant ocean / Twisting in the deep / You're just like a dream") He comes to later ("Daylight whipped me into shape") though he has no idea how long he's been out, he calls to Mary (who's only gone for help) sees she's not there and thinks in horror she fell off the cliff and drowned. How's that? |
