| Harry Nilsson – Gotta Get Up Lyrics | 1 month ago |
|
No comments? Shame! Such a great song about that delicate balance in life. "We used to carry on and drink and do the rock and roll We never thought we'd get older We never thought it'd grow cold, but now . . ." |

| The Beatles – Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Lyrics | 2 months ago |
|
I see a lot of people commenting on this song have a drug problem. LITSWD could be about LSD, and it could be a song about a drawing of a little girl in the sky with diamonds. The "interpretations" here say more about the commenter(s) than the song. |

| King Crimson – 21st Century Schizoid Man Lyrics | 5 months ago |
|
An indictment of consumerism and jingoistic calls for war to get more of "nothing he really needs". The 21st Century Schizoid Man is us. |
|
| Talking Heads – Love for Sale Lyrics | 6 months ago |
|
Such a great tune. Consumerism (sex sells!) raised to the level of a religion. |

| Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Still...You Turn Me On Lyrics | 7 months ago |
|
This song is beautiful. It is about being a "rock star" and about life in general, for a "rock star." It can also be interpreted as a song of mourning, if you just look at the surface. |

| David Bowie – Fashion Lyrics | 11 months ago |

It's a political as well as a song about fashion trends. Think fashion as fascist, and things take a little different direction. |

"She's so funky, yeah!" is what I heard the first time I heard the line "Jeux sans frontiers" as sung by Ms. Bush. Although, thank to all you here, I can now hear "She's so popular!" as well. Thanks. :-) |

| The Doors – L.A. Woman Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| To me it's simply a love song to the dream that was L.A.(Venice, Hollywood & the Strip especially) in the late sixties. Lyrics evoke some great imagery--and great memories since I was a young poser living in eastern L.A. County at that time. | |
| Talking Heads – Sax & Violins Lyrics | 1 year ago |

"Mom and pop will fuck you up!" Sums it up for me. |

|
Beautiful arrangement. Sounds so much like some renaissance music I have heard. And, yeah, they liked sex back then, too! |
|
| Jefferson Airplane – Eat Starch Mom Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
Love the feel of this tune. It's like Grace is fed up, and it's taking her in a counter- counterculture direction. - Or - It's about a car and the American boy who owns it, and she knows how to win that smooth moving steel, vegetable lover. |
