Just trying to calm his girlfriend down amid some quarrels and admit that she has a lot of grounds and he has indeed been not really up to the standards. But in the end he still hopes that she'd come back looking for him when things get better and she decides to do so. |

| The Rolling Stones – You Can't Always Get What You Want Lyrics

@[Abeer:2852] Why would anybody be "anxious and nervous" to meet somebody else??? That's ridiculously immature just as if you're some kindergarten kid. Come on, we're all adults. If you can't even have this very basic level of composure and psychoness you just plainly suck.
Though the rest pretty much makes sense, indeed. |

When I first heard this song I also thought it was like an oration for evilness inside this protagonist. However I don't really think he is a "pedophile", which might be a little bit far-fetched. I'd rather believe he is generally evil on a lot of things, take those protagonists in Grand Theft Auto as examples and you'll understand what I mean.While there have been claims that Jagger said this song is about "a funeral", I think it might just be some kind of cover ups which spare them of excessive moral attacks. However I don't really believe in this claim, as lines as ""I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes. I have to turn my head until my darkness goes" are far too obvious and revealing. Actually, what's so bad about unleashing our inner evilness? It is just a normal part of human nature and appropriate unleashing can contribute to our wholesomeness. No need to treat it as something of "moral wretchedness" etc., which I think it's simply unnecessary. |

I really dislike the lyrics. Being sung by Beatles doesn't mean a song would be naturally granted every right. The sheer disrespect and lack of very basic empathy for others is really disgusting, to be frank. |

| The Clash – Death or Glory Lyrics

I think the whole song is mainly a satire on the fake rock n' roll scene where many people claim to be rebellious but in the end just become a part of commercial agenda and earn a lot of money. Thus why "he who fucks the nun will later join the church." "Death or glory just becomes another story" means that those people are claiming to do things about "death or glory" which seem to be really grandeur but in essence just another mundane, secular commercial agenda thus "just another story"
In detail, the first paragraph is about somebody who claims to know some "love and peace" stuff but actually is having none of it in his head. He just has such words on because he thinks it's cool while doing *exactly the opposite* of what the words are supposed to bring. A good example would be Mecca World Peace(Ron Artest).
The second paragraph as mentioned above is about the hypocrisy of rock n' roll. Exactly *those "morally impeccable" priests* are the people who have sexual scandals all year round(haven't we seen enough of it?). Thus the level of "hypocrisy" is even higher.
The third paragraph is about those who think they've been trying really hard to become rock stars etc but just keep being unheard. The lyrics are basically saying that if they are really doing hard and have talents they must long've been heard already. So after all it's still their fault and they cannot blame the world for being not famous/successful. |

I agree with you on the "hypocrisy" part, but differ on some points also. I think the whole song is mainly a satire on the fake rock n' roll scene where many people claim to be rebellious but in the end just become a part of commercial agenda and earn a lot of money. Thus why "he who fucks the nun will later join the church." "Death or glory just becomes another story" means that those people are claiming to do things about "death or glory" which seem to be really grandeur but in essence just another mundane, secular commercial agenda thus "just another story"

The second paragraph as mentioned is about the hypocrisy of rock n' roll. But where I don't agree with you is that it's not that they initially "breached code of conduct of the church", but on the contrary, exactly *those "morally impeccable" priests* are the people who have sexual scandals all year round(haven't we seen enough of it?). Thus the level of "hypocrisy" is even higher.
The third paragraph is about those who think they've been trying really hard to become rock stars etc but just keep being unheard.
