| Dire Straits – Wild West End Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
One of my favourites by them also. Notice the little Chinese musical clip on the keyboards after the Chinatown lyrics? Nice placement. :)
Here are the correct lyrics.
Stepping out to Angellucci’s for my coffee beans
Checking out the movies and the magazines
A waitress she watches me crossing from the Barocco bar
I get a pickup for my steel guitar
I saw you walking out now Shaftesbury Avenue
Excuse me for talking I wanna marry you
This is the Seventh Heaven street
Don’t you seem so proud
You’re just another angel in the crowd
And I’m walking in the wild west end
Walking in the wild west end
Walking with your wild best friend
Now my conductress on the number nineteen
She was a honey(she was a honey)
Pink toenails and hands all dirty with money
Greasy greasy greasy hair easy smile
She made me feel ah nineteen for a while
I went down ch ch uh uh chinatown
In the backroom it’s a man’s world
All the money go down
Duck inside the doorway duck to eat
Just ain't no way--you and me--we can beat
Walking in the wild west end
Walking in the wild west end
Walking with your wild best friend
Now a a gogo dancing girl yes I saw her
The DJ he say here’s Mandy for ya
I feel alright to see her
I feel alright seein' her do that stuff
She’s dancing high an' I move on by
The close ups can get rough
When you’re walking in the wild west end |

This is one of Ween's masterpieces. Yes, it can offend many but I agree with mizchiff as to what it is about.
I try to look past the topic and enjoy the brilliance of this well constructed tune. |

One of my faves by Cale. I don't know exactly what it means but I guess Cajun Moon is a type of dope. |

No, Ace covered this song he never wrote it. Russ Ballard from Hello wrote it and was released in 1975 in London, England. Goto www.allmusic.com and search for "Hello" and go see for yourself. |

| KISS – I Was Made For Lovin' You Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
Previous posters obviously need no help with the understanding of the words.
This is KISS's response to the disco craze. Akin to "Miss You" by the Stones and "Do ya think I'm Sexy?" by Rod Stewart. |

This song should be played before ANYONE signs over their body parts to medical research and others who need heart/lung/liver transplants. :) |

My wild guess is "Sweet Songs never last too long on broken radios." meant life is shorter to those who abuse their bodies with hard dope. |

I first heard this song on TV(an interlude) but it wasn't John Prine.. It was a cover. The video was mostly senior citizens in the park looking lonely and bored. One of his best songs. |

Six Blade Knife is metaphor for the tools of manipulation a woman used on him.....I think... Dandy bass though. Pot smokin' music for sure! |

thestamp & Johnno7,
Nice interpretations. :)
I heard two versions of this but I cannot find the one with the women singing it; it was .... "stonier". I believe it was in the key of A also. |

I used to think it was about being with a young girl(he could've been a teen when he wrote this). On the other hand, Billy could be singing as the role of Francine's father. |

No it isn't. He is messin' around with a taken woman. He reveals to the other man what is goin on in the last part of the tune. The live version is wicked, but much different. |

| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Drifting Lyrics

|
Agreed. I think he doesn't have anyone to love but the drifiting is metaphor for the "in and out of love" he has experienced. Perhaps it is really is about acid. |
