| Lou Reed – Street Hassle Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i cant believe there heasnt been more comments. this song is amazing. its so dark and sad, but not until you really listen to it. for somereason i think its about a kind of "pimp" guy, who brings round some ladies and some skunk and they get a party going, fuck and whatever, then coming down realise one of the hookers has od'd and they're telling him to get her body out of there and be more careful with the drugs he gives them. |

|

|
| The Cure – Boys Don't Cry Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
im a girl and the thought of boys crying makes me sad, but at the same time happy, because everytime some cunt dumps me, cheats on me or lies to me its just like "you know, he doesnt even care, if i died he wouldn't even cry" but this song shows that there are a few guys who do care. hope i've found one. |

| Dramarama – Anything, Anything Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
ITS NOT JUST GIRLS. guys do the same thing! anyone who likes this muzak/era should deffinately make an effort to the a docco called 'Mayor Of The Sunset Strip.' its about the KROQ dj rodney bingenheimer and how he supported lots of music like this in the 70's/80's. |

| The Church – Almost With You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Does it always feel this chill near the end I never dreamed we'd meet here once more This life reserved for a friend the last lines always do me in. The Church are amazing, none of my friends see anything in them, i couldn't live without this music. |

| The Church – When You Were Mine Lyrics | 16 years ago |

| Arcade Fire – No Cars Go Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
cars=sleep? "between the click of the light and the start of the dream." being an insomniac, or just sleep deprived is like being alone, everyone else is alseep, its like being on a highway where no cars go? |

| Paul Kelly – To Her Door Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i love whne paul does live versions and changes the words around. sometimes he says. "She went to her brother's, got a little bar work He went to the North Coast, stayed about a year..." i think it still implies that he went away to get himself fixed up before trying to return to his wife though.. |

| The Decemberists – Summersong Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i think its about a guy (the narrator) whose girl died, every summer her memory returns, maybe be saw her drowning, or he imagines how it was ("My girl, linen and curls, Lips parting like a flag all unfurled") he imagines her down there with all the sailors and sand and his mind lingers on it for ages, and with his mourning the summer always seems to dissapear again ("it gets swallowed by a wave") ...? |

| Bruce Springsteen – I'm on Fire Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| this song could rip a person apart from the inside out. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Dancing In The Dark Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i relate yto this song so much at the moment. its just wanting to get out there, shake everyone off, actually do something, change your hair, get new clothes and make something of yourself. make people see you again for who you are, EVEN if you're just "dancing in the dark." |

wheres the rest? 'but could it, give me love, give me little love, give me little love from gods heart? give me love give me little love from god's heart? and then we... walked. walking down by the west wind, met a boy he was my friend, i said boy, we could sing you too, and we do. give us love, give us little love from your hearts. give us love, give us little love from your hearts. give us love, give us little love from your hearts. give us love, give us little love from your hearts. and then we.. went. ..might not be all right. |
|
| T. Rex – Get It On (Bang A Gong) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
yeh, he references cars alot, in this song, then theres the songs jeepster and cadillac, then in 'children of the revolution' there's the line "i drive a rolls royce-cause its good for my voice" which he did drive. kinda wierd but i guess most artists have a certain thing they always relate to. |
|

| Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
she had the money(or so she told everyone) she had the social life. the fame. the drugs. everyone wanted her or wanted to be her. until she fell from the limelight. and wasnt the flavour of the week anymore. of the model of the year. or andy warhol's "Edie Superstar" anymore. and the whole time, she hadn't been taken by dylan's advances, or had tried not to be, which lost her the affections of andy. and those of dylan. she was on her own. a complete unknown. like a rolling stone.. and dylan had to rub it in. good song. (and if it is about edie) very sad story. |
|
| Bob Dylan – Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
whatadrag, he isnt a cold hearted bastard, just with the whole edie thing, he must've been pretty pissed off, and in ' like a rolling stone, i could definately see where he was coming from if that was about edie. the song portrays a fair bit of jealousy i guess, and after she [edie] went back into hospital and warhol forgot about her, she would probly have felt pretty shit that dylan wasnt on her side either anymore. |
|
| Bob Dylan – I Want You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
all wrong. it's about edie sedgwick (he also wrote leopard-skin pill-box hat and like a rolling stone about her(?) which is kinda debated) and (supposedly) her involvement with warhol and his "scene" "now your dancing child with his Chinese suit He spoke to me, I took his flute No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I? But I did it, though, because he lied Because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side And because I Want you" ^ is meant to be about him meeting andy. edie wanted him to, but he was hesitant because he knew he wouldn't be liked by andy and edies other friends, but he went anyway although he didnt feign being someone he wasnt to win them over .. "no, i wasn't very cute to him, was i?" absolutely gorgeous song=] |
|
| The Velvet Underground – The Gift Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
yer it was origionally a jam that the band named "booker t" after some guy in a band back then it was just their gig thing, when they decided to make it a song. and apparently cale wrote the story as some sort of short piece... its totallyfrikkingawesome stuff |
|
| The Velvet Underground – Oh! Sweet Nuthin Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
PeeWee. sorry but get real. not EVERY velvets/lou reed/david bowie/SIXTIES SONG is about heroin. they probly just used the name brown cos its a commong name. if anything its about people on the streets. and electrik i agree with you. but thats just what i think of lou reed in general:) i know people wrote ALOT and i mean liek a shitload of music about drugs especially the people i just mentioned but i mean come one just cos the people in it have the surname brown? the songs they DID write about drugs were a tad WAY MORE FUCKING obvious than that... |
|
| The Velvet Underground – Sister Ray Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
cecils got his new piece.. he cocks and shoots it bang between three and four. he aims it at the sailor..shoots him down dead on the floor.. oh you know you shouldn't do that..dont you know you'll stain the carpet? ..and by the way i got a dollar.. LOVE that part of the song. and people i think most versions are different. like any other artist lou pronounced stuff differently in different versions. sometimes added a few words here and there. paul kelly does it ALOT too. |
|
| Joy Division – Love Will Tear Us Apart Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
this song. is like NO other. his voice, the way it progresses, makes it the most amazing song ever, and yet its still sooooo fucking sad. especially when you think he died like..a month later. r.i.p ian. |
|
| Dire Straits – Sultans Of Swing Lyrics | 17 years ago |

| The Velvet Underground – After Hours Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"Dark cloudy bars Shiny Cadillac cars and the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain As they stand disarrayed And if you close the door, the night could last forever. Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never.." GAH! its MEANT to be "dark PARTY bars" and.."Looking gray in the rain, As they stand disarrayed, oh but people look well in the dark..." [CHORUS] pishhh! most beautiful song though...i love moes voice! |

| Lou Reed – Perfect Day Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i dont know what its about most people assume heroin after they've seen "Trainspotting" but idno i like to think it is a bit of a just.."be whatever and wherever, it doesn't matter, it's who you're with that counts" kind of song... | |
| Lou Reed – I Can't Stand It Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| no idea, what its about, just overall exasperation i guess, but its a fantastic song, i fucking love it. | |
| David Bowie – Rock 'n' Roll Suicide Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i think this song is far more biographical than most people would've thought, i certainly didnt think so for a long while, and...i can't quite remember what year it was written but the last little verse makes me think of bowies first partner?.. too early though i might think. "gimme your hands, cos you're wonderful" it seems very loving to me. |
|
| David Bowie – Time Will Crawl Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| in my opinion, the absolute best bowie song there is... | |
| David Bowie – Life on Mars? Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i think im wrong but, does it seem to anyone else like the first verse is about like..a prenant teen? " It's a god-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling "No!" And her daddy has told her to go" her mums saying no, her fathers saying get out you slapper? and "But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream" the fathers nicked off and now shes wandering around town with no one and no home? then.. for some reason or another goes off to a show to forget whats troubling her?..maybe? lol kind of far fetched? |
