| Malcolm Middleton – A Brighter Beat Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
amazing the strength of this song I will be singing it often now |
|
| CocoRosie – Jesus Loves Me Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| it's hard to see this as straight, acerbic, satire. I agree with the comment above. It sort of has some softer moments like "Don't fall in the wishing well/ Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell" which are good old fashioned snippets of Cocorosie wisdom, arriving in what seems to be mean old satire. Reading good in the bad & bad in the good blurs the classical "black & white" morality that commissions the satire; it's sort of a new, softer, greyer way of songwriting. | |
| Prince – Let's Pretend We're Married Lyrics | 17 years ago |

| young people are just as prone to bouts of loneliness as old, but find it easier to get laid cos they like the loud music in clubs | |
| Malcolm Middleton – We're All Going to Die Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| can't wait to hear this through, sounds heartwarming | |
| The Jesus and Mary Chain – Deep One Perfect Morning Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| obsessively retrospective about the past? this song's for you! especially as you wake up and realise the rave's over, and the drugs are about to wear off, and you're about to have to face your lovelessness in the stark morning light like an elbow to the teeth! | |
| The Jesus and Mary Chain – April Skies Lyrics | 17 years ago |

| New Order – Crystal Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
you tube - brandon flowers accompanies at T in the park festival, and throws in a little 'need a little time to wake up' (Oasis). In the vid, a young band mimes along to the track before being pulled off stage. Their drum kits reads, 'the Killers' and that's where their synthpop namesakes got their name from. No word of a lie. xx |
|
| Mazzy Star – Take Everything Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I like this one, and 'Still Cold', they are more passionate and upbeat. x | |
| Kaiser Chiefs – Caroline, Yes Lyrics | 17 years ago |

| Grizzly Bear – Knife Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| sinister, though.. convincingly, a song from a wife-beater? | |
| The Smiths – Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Mark Ronson - producer, covered 'Just' very funked up - has just covered this. It's not Morrissey, sounds much more soully, but the vocals are still plaintive & indignant. | |

| it's ok to hear 'heroin' & 'heroine' at once, kids | |
| Camera Obscura – Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken Lyrics | 17 years ago |

| Camera Obscura – Razzle Dazzle Rose Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| fortune favours the brave | |
| Arcade Fire – My Body Is a Cage Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| it's really bluesy, hymnal.. to me, that refrain is about not being satisfied with this current life.. and then the song develops for a little love of the world.. I have been hearing it all day. | |
| Joan as Police Woman – Eternal Flame Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| super soulful and excellent poetry - "lighter" yes yes | |

| We're all afraid there's nothing but this | |
| Van Morrison – I'll Be Your Lover, Too Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
hurray for Moonlight Mile. Man I love Van. He hardly has to make up a song and it's a mini masterpiece. |
|
| Amy Winehouse – You Know I'm No Good Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I'd rather have chips and pitta than chips and pitta.. although it is a bit 'Hoxton kebab'. Tanqueray's a kind of gin by the by. | |

| The Jam – Down In The Tube Station At Midnight Lyrics | 17 years ago |
