| John Lennon – Serve Yourself Lyrics

Wow in this song Lennon really sounds like the petty, arch-liberal elitist he was. He can spout his pseudo-religious musings in his songs but as soon as someone else does it he's up in arms. |

| The Cardigans – Iron Man (Black Sabbath cover) Lyrics

^^ Agreed. A great cover version should always take a song and reinterpret it, just as the Cardigans have done here and the same with how they did Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. If you don't like it then fine, but at least they didn't just churn out some pointless sing along karaoke version like some metal twat bands would have. |

I think it's clearly anti-religious in it's overtones although it could be allegorised into something else. |

Is it just me or does "its time to meet your makers" sound like "its time to meet Jamaicans"? |

| Low – Lion/Lamb Lyrics
| 17 years ago

"Are you as guilty as I am?"
Is this about morality? Spirituality? There is the verse in the old testament about the lion laying down with the lamb, portraying the idea of peace.
Very enigmatic all in all. |

| Cat Power – Water and Air Lyrics

I'd go with the allusion to Jeff Buckley, but anyway it's clearly a song about loss (of love, a person perhaps). It's musically mesmeric. |

He is simply one of the best songwriters about! His use of language and imagery is rarely matched.
"There is no love/on the hacked away plateau
Bury me in water
And I will geyser
Bury me in fire
And I’m gonna phoenix" |

What does "du bist sehr schon" mean?
I stuck that in Babelfish and and it translated it as "You very already are" |

| Roots Manuva – Sinny Sin Sins Lyrics

Clearly it's autobiographical and speaks for itself. I've read on several occasions that Rodney Smith (aka Roots Manuva) was raised in a strict pentecostal household. |
