| Jesus Jones – Right Here, Right Now Lyrics | 4 months ago |
|
This appears to be about the Fall of the Berlin Wall representing the final WWII Victory in Europe with the subsequent freeing of the Captive Nations and dissolution of the Soviet empire. Unfortunately, the West has squandered the victory over the past few decades and we now suddenly find ourselves transported back to the Cold War era with Ukraine War, threats by China and North Korea in the far east, and the recent outbreak of war in the middle east. |

|
| Talking Heads – Life During Wartime Lyrics | 8 months ago |
| It sounds a lot like a musical version of Walker Percy's 1971 novel Live in the Ruins which somewhat anticipated the downward spiral of the USA and the world halfway through the Carter administration. | |
| Muddy Waters – Crosseyed Cat Lyrics | 9 months ago |
| There's gotta be a sex metaphor in there but a pretty odd one ... | |
| The Police – Wrapped Around Your Finger Lyrics | 10 months ago |

| Jeff Beck – Going Down Lyrics | 1 year ago |

| 10cc – I'm Not In Love Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
I can see it perfectly, at least from personal experience: when as a guy, you tell a girl "I love you," you're all in, body and soul, and there's no turning back and that's all you will be thinking about as the rest of life goes by in kind of a blur. For women, it appears to be bit different: when a girl says "I love you," it means that you now have won a place in her heart, probably somewhere between her grandfather and her favorite pet. Women are very good at compartmentalization which allows for their great multitasking capabilities. |

| The Call – The Walls Came Down Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| @[ctmiller312:41816] \r\nYeah - Ike anticipated the events of the 21st century nicely ...\r\n"The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.\r\nYet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.\r\nIt is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society." | |
