| Morrissey – Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
From the Moz himself: "It was written with Johnny Marr in mind and it is the only song that I have written with him in mind, post Smiths. I saw him in the music industry being used and being pushed around and being manipulated and I felt I was in a situation and I thought, 'Look at me, look at you - it's the same, it's a mess and this is as far as we will go' which wasn't quite true in the end but at that moment it felt pretty despairing for both, I felt despairing for both of us but I was wrong." - Morrissey on "Angel, Angel Down We Go Together", 1992 |

| The Clash – Fingerpoppin' Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| One of the most underrated songs on Cut the Crap - this song reminds me a bit of Overpowered By Funk, to be honest. Both great tunes. | |

Totally agree with HadjiQuest...such an important lyric totally butchered. I can't stand this band at all, and it's completely abhorrent that they ruined such a brilliant song. |

Here's my take on the lyrics: I'm walking to the something, Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, Collapse! I'm drinking too much blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah, Fall out! I'm feeling really blah blah I want to blah blah blah, Collapse! And in the end, it means I'm Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah The end! I pulled myself together, Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, Watch out! I didn't need the beating by the Blah blah blah blah blah, Collapse! Don't you get too close, or I'll Blah blah blah blah blah, Break out! Stick it up your nose, Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, The end! I didn't mean to do it, It lovely in my head I tried to be a charmer, I got a bit hopeless instead The world is very sexy, It's part of my collapse I'm walking to the something, Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I'm drinking too much blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah Fall out! I'm feeling really blah blah I want to blah blah blah, Collapse! And in the end, it means I'm Blah blah blah blah blah blah, The end! I didn't mean to do it, It lovely in my head I tried to be a charmer, I got a bit hopeless instead The world is very sexy, It's part of my collapse I'm walking to the something, Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I'm drinking too much blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah, Fall out! I'm feeling really blah blah I want to blah blah blah, Collapse! And in the end, it means I'm Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, The end! Rock it, rock it! Rock it, rock it! |

| Elvis Costello – Radio Radio Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Actually, SNL was pissed about it as well. Story is that Producer Lorne Michaels was off camera, and as soon as Elvis went into Radio Radio, Michaels was said to give Elvis an upturned middle finger for the entire duration of the performance. If you've seen the tape, you'll notice Elvis is glaring at someone off camera for the majority of the song, and at the end he bows straight in Lorne's direction smugly. Classic stuff. | |

The lyrics are wrong at top, the correct lyrics are: You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here It's far too bright for you If they attack you just lay there, Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through. And seconds they seem like a lifetime. A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true. And they'll pin it all on you after all you've been put through. "Sadie G. she's crazy, see?" That's what the white coats say. Now Ms. Susan A. is losing every opportunity to put us all away. Go run along my little nightmare. Your job is done here. You've scared them all to death. If they revive them just sit there. Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath. The sentence may seem like a lifetime, a scream, that curdling the blood they found on you. And your knives and clothing too. Charlie's broken .22 "Sadie G. she's crazy, see?" That's what the white coats say. Now Ms. Susan A. is losing every opportunity. Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way that you've bound and gaged. You've shot and stab. You tried to set them free, but they've thrown away the keys. "I think that if I found a god to me that was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him. I'd do anything for god. Even murder, if I believed it was god, how could it not be right? Because he said it was. I have no remorse for the killer inside of me, I have no guilt in me" Whoa [x4] |

| The Clash – Clampdown Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It's only common sense to LOOK AT THE RECORD to see when it was released. it doesn't require any difficult research to know that London Calling came out before the fall of the Berlin Wall. I hardly denegrated an entire generation. I am IN that "post-Clash" generation. I appreciate your argument. | |

Here is the REAL definition of this song. Those Hitler-esque statements were only metaphorical...look deeper people. "Yeah" [Joe] Strummer begins, "this song and our overall message was to wake-up, pay attention to what really is going on around you, politically, socially all of it...before you know it you have become what you despise." The song is a pointed and stark account of work in Darwinian capitalist society. At its core, the song presents the contradictions that force us to believe that if only we work hard, don't complain, and don't rock the boat, we can get ahead. Step on whomever you wish, it doesn't matter, just look our for number one. The song expressed the anxieties of working-class youth who were wanted only for menial jobs, to be part of the state's repressive apparatus, or to join racist right-wing movements. The same song also advocates an alternative, a common Strummer theme, the need for working-class rebellion. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1132/is_2_55/ai_103383507/pg_2 Go there for some insightful Clash meaning...so what if I copied pasted...it's 3 am and i'm too tired to flip thru my NME's. by the way...to the crud who wrote this; "Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall" - a reference to Berlin 1986?"...moron. London Calling was released in 1979. No wonder there are no posts for the Clash. No one knows anything about them. Sad. |
