Javelin – Light Out Lyrics 10 years ago
Okay, listened to a live version of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbeOp5kVqXc) and it's def "isn't everyone just masturbating" as far as I'm concerned. Anyone else hearing something else - let me know.

I think I've got most of the lyrics down right. Not sure about the (?)-part. It sorta sounds like "isn't everyone just masturbating", but... well... yeah. Anyone with thoughts on that?

Kings of Leon – Temple Lyrics 10 years ago
Are you sure it's "IN the temple", and not "ON the temple"? Alternatively, it's "one ON MY temple", I dunno. Surely he's singing about taking a blow to the side of his head for someone?

Loved that interpretation! I also hear your story and feel for you - just got out of a 4½ year long relationship myself :) This song is incredibly human considering the fact that it's being sung by a robot.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Home Lyrics 11 years ago
To bad I didn't see this until now... either you've given up on the mix or already completed it. Finding BPM is really easy. Just use a stop-watch and count every beat during a minute. In this particular song, it doesn't matter where you start counting, since it's the same tempo throughout. I just did, and I got it to about 114BPM.

Such a fucking masterpiece.

Blur – Under the Westway Lyrics 12 years ago
There were blue skies in my city today
Everything was sinking, said snow would come on Sunday
And the old school was due and the traffic grew
Up on the Westway

Where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
Shining up above me, the jet fuel it fell
Down to earth where the money always comes first
And the sirens sing

Bring us the day they switch off the machines
'Cuz men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams
An automated song and the whole world gone
Fallen under the spell...

...of the distance between us when we communicate
Still picking up short wave, somewhere they're out in space
It depens on how you're wired when the night's on fire
Under the Westway

Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Doing one eighty, still standing at last call
When the flags coming down and the Last Post sounds
Just like a love song

For the way I feel about you
Paradise not lost, it's in you
On a permanent basis I apologise
But I am going to sing

Hallelujah
Sing it out loud and sing it to you
Am I lost out at sea, 'til a tide wash me
Up off the Westway

Woodkid – Iron Lyrics 13 years ago
CRAPZ! I didn't know there was a video for this song?! Check it out if you haven't seen it (pref in HD), probably on of the photographically best videos I've seen.

Woodkid – Iron Lyrics 13 years ago
I also know this song from the trailer to ACR. I read in the comments on YouTube someone complained that they didn't choose a more "epic" song for the trailer. Wow, what a load of BS, because this song is just timeless. Totally relates to the story in AC aswell. Anyways!

I also think this song is about soldiers during WWI or WWII, not remembering their families and what not. The lyrics are probably transposable to a lot of everyday situations aswell, but I think that Woodkid intended it to remind of the war.

Gorillaz – Sweepstakes Lyrics 13 years ago
Also:

I think it's interesting how "form a line" could also be formalin/formaline... A toxic solution of formaldehyde in water. ;> Probably has nothing to do with the song, but the duality of it is just interesting.

Gorillaz – Sweepstakes Lyrics 13 years ago
This is what I hear:

Pay day, you're a winner

Pay day, you're a winner
Keep cool, form a line
Scared money, broke money
Poor money*, more money
So sunny, cloud breaker
Sound-maker, wave-runner
Wild "motherfunky" drummer
You can get it how you want it

There's math and there's dealers and players and me
They say that they're winners
Ok well let's see
You pay here, you play
The rules of the trade
The math of the date
The times in the eight
What you want, how you like?
Aim high, man, why not?
Sun Moon Star (?)
Each and all of y'alls
Mathematics and dealers and players and me
They say that they're winners
Ok well let's see...

Sweepstakes! You're a winner

Pay day, you're a winner
Keep cool, form a line
Scared money, broke money
Poor money*, more money
So sunny, cloud-breaker
Sound-maker, wave-runner
Wild wonder, funky drummer
You can get it how you wanna
'Who's the winner?' said the dealer
Every player 'Yeah me'
So you say 'We will see'
Player play! Aye, ok
Whatcha want? How you like?
Aim high, why not?
Sun Moon and Star y'alls
Each and every, all of y'alls
Who's the winner? Yeah me
So you say 'We will see'
Cloud-breaker, danger beats!

Big feats!**

Ha! Ok, less eight!

Sweepstakes! You're a winner

A-haaa...

Pay day, you're a winner
Keep cool, form a line
Scared money, broke money
Poor money*, more money
So sunny, cloud-breaker
Sound-maker, wave-runner
Wild wonder, (?)
You can get it how you wanna

There's math and there's dealers and players and killers and me
They say that they're winners
Ok well let's see
You pay here, you play
The rules of the trade
The math of the days
The times to the eight
Whatcha want, how you like?
Aim high, man, why not?
Sun Moon and Star y'alls
Each and every all of y'all
There's math and there's dealers and players and me
They say that they're winners
Ok well let's see!

Sweepstakes! You're a winner

Pay day, you're a winner
Keep cool, form a line
Scared money, broke money
Poor money*, more money
So sunny, cloud-breaker
Sound-maker, wave-runner
Wild wonder, funky drummer
You can get it like you wanna

'Who's the winner?' said the dealer
Every player 'Yeah me'
So you say 'We will see'
Player play! Aye, ok
Whatcha want? How you like?
Aim high, why not?
Sun Moon and Star y'all
Each and every, all of y'all
Who's the winner? Yeah me
So you say 'We will see'
Cloud-breaker, danger beats!
Fresh plates!
Less eight!

Sweepstakes! You're a winner

Ha! Oh!

*might be "Pour money"

**I do believe it's "feats", like in Gorillaz feat. Mos Def... ;>

I know not every word, or even line, is correct, but I'm having a hard time kinda putting it all into context. Bet there's a lot of expressions and other stuff that I don't know about simply because I'm not english. Not sure what "the times in/to/and the eight/eights" is all about either. Snooker/pool? Counting cards? Obviously about some form of gambling, about how money is everything today, lots of casino references in there. Not sure that's the entire meaning of this song though, that "big feats"-bit got me confused... Might also have something to do with the album in itself. Awesome song anyway!

Think I've got the lyrics down quite well, shouldn't be a lot of errors there.

As far as meaning goes,I think this song is pretty obvious. Good ol' socialist music!
