Most likely inspired by singer Biff Byfords father who worked in the mines. This song is not only an ode to better times, and a reflection of past glory, but also a poem of the sands of time and mortality. It talks about mortality, growing old, past glory and despair, and of Britain’s mining and industrial past. The lyrics vividly depict the transition of a father from a coal miner to a twisted and weakened man, paralleling his decline with the aging and deterioration of coal-fueled iron wheels that carried him down into the mines. All of which serves to emphasize the passage of time and the decay of once-thriving industries. In general, it reflects the transient nature of life and work, illustrating how time and changing circumstances can erode even the most robust of individuals and industries. |

This track is inspired by the 1943 film For Whom the Bell Tolls, based on the 1940 Ernest Hemingway novel. The song itself is about the Berlin Wall, which divided a city and a nation; A guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East Berlin and the German Democratic Republic. This song is a call for the dismantling of the Wall and the reunification of Germany. It was finally brought down by the German public in 1989 after a series of revolutions in nearby Eastern Bloc countries Poland and Hungary, causing a chain reaction in East Germany. Primarily however, the Pan-European Picnic in August 1989 set in motion a peaceful development during which the Iron Curtain largely broke, the rulers in the East came under pressure to cease their repressive policies, and the Berlin Wall fell. |

| Saxon – Northern Lady Lyrics
| 23 days ago
|
|
Now while this is a general, standard love song about the girl a guy loves, I found something that might give some deeper meaning. Since Saxon are British, a bit of public perception is that northern girls generally seem to act a bit more like average guys, in terms of being more carefree than their southern counterparts. There are exceptions, but most northern girls tend to be more forthcoming with banter, are harder drinkers, and maintain more relaxed attitudes to casual sex. Some stating that northern women are more calm, and bitchy in the "Ice Queen" way. So that's what I believe the Northern Lady the character is in love with is; I may be wrong but it's just an interpretation. |

| Saxon – Battle Cry Lyrics
| 24 days ago
|
While no meaning has been stated, based on the lyrics it's clear it's about the Jacobite rising of 1745 and the Battle of Culloden. To put a long story as short as possible, the Jacobite rising was a succession in the line through which Jacobites believed that the crowns of England, Scotland, and Ireland should have descended. The Jacobite rising of 1745 was an attempt by Charles Edward Stuart to regain the British throne for his father, James Francis Edward Stuart. The Battle of Culloden was the final confrontation of the Jacobite rising as on April 16, 1746, the Jacobite army of Charles Edward Stuart was decisively defeated by a British government force under Prince William Augustus.
In a bit more detail:
The name Jacobitism was a political movement that supported the restoration of the senior line of the House of Stuart to the British throne and the name derives from the first name of James II of England. When James went into exile after the November 1688 Glorious Revolution, the Parliament of England decided that he had abandoned the English throne, and was declared he had "forfeited" the throne by the Scottish Convention. Jacobites argued that monarchs were appointed by God and could not be removed. While this was the most consistent point of contention, Jacobitism was a complex mix of ideas, many opposed by the Stuarts themselves. In Ireland, James supported tolerance for Catholicism but opposed other demands such as Irish autonomy and reversing the 17th-century land settlements. In 1745, clashes between Prince Charles and Scottish Jacobites over the 1707 Union and divine right were central to the internal conflicts that ended Jacobitism as a viable movement. |

The song is pretty simple in the title, it being about a wild and excessive party where everyone is getting drunk and having a great time without any care for consequences. It's a chaotic and out-of-control gathering where everyone's indulging in extreme behaviors and excesses, such as drinking gasoline, with the overall meaning about how one has to live in the moment and have a good time, regardless of how crazy things may get.
In an interview with Biff Byford, he stated how they got to work with Elton John on this track. Stating: "We were in the studio at the same time and our producer knew him. We thought it would be cool if he would play on “Party ‘Til You Puke.,” ‘cause that’s not really his style of music (laughs). We thought it would be cool if he would play on something that wasn’t naturally his type of style. He was cool, actually. He came and played, and we were hanging out with his band, really. I think he was helicoptering in and out of the studio every couple of days on his way to royal weddings or whatever. We got to know the band more than him, really, but he was a nice enough guy, ya know?" |
