| PJ Harvey – Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
The CD provides the lyrics. It is Daniel, a boy, and he and his sister Erika are playing hide and seek in a wild tree-filled garden. Something terrible happens. The game ends.
He doesn't seem like the same Daniel who appears two songs later in the chair. He drowns in the sea.
I have read reviews that seem sure its about two girls (???) and that one of them is murdered. But there's no reason to assume anything like that. Erika could just be upset that she can't find Daniel. When your a kid little things like games can take on huge significance.

This song is a little off. It appears to be a profession of unconditional love and desire to grow old with her lover, but in reality its passive aggressive and mean. If you buy someone Rogaine your not accepting them as they are. Your trying to cover them up. The equivilent line from a man would be "I'll sign you up for Jenny Craig, when you get fat". It would be insulting.
And giving him her sweater? No she won't. He'll give her his sweater, because his is bigger and she can wrap herself up in it like a blanket. Her sweater on the other hand will too small to keep him warm or comfortable,he'll look ridiculous and feel humiliated and sulk plus he'll stretch it out of shape, which will make her mad and they won't have sex for 2 weeks. |

Its about unrequited love--In her tortured passion the girl is going to masturbate persistently and uncontrollably while thinking about a guy whos not interested in her. |

All those intepretations may be true as far as the inspiration for the song goes,but its also a defiant rocker about a predatory casanova type. |

Of course you can be a pimp and a prostitute too. In fact, most prostitutes are pimped out by other, senior, prostitutes--lookat Ashley Dupre. |

| Sex Pistols – Bodies Lyrics

The point their making is Abortion is MESSY. Because WE are messy, human messy bodies. don't matter f your pro or anti,the reality is theres a bloody pulpy disgusting discharge involved. The Pistlos were holding a mirror with uncomfortable reality to both conservatives and smug complacent liberals. You can says "Its a women's right" all you want--but just know what it is that is their right, don't pretend its something nice and clean. |

| PJ Harvey – Man-Size Lyrics

|
|
She's said this song writen from the point of view of a male character--so, again the transformation,anorexia, wishing-to-be-a-man-to-be-heard etc etc interpretations are off the mark. Not a typical man,but the point of view of a psycho killer. et girl out of my head--he's haunted by images of his victims. |

| PJ Harvey – Down By The Water Lyrics

|
I think this about a girl who is wither under a bridge wherein she gets pregnant and finds herself alone. She late drowns the baby girl,and then is haunted by the guilt.
It fairly simple,and the people who see sexual abuse references (other than abadonment) are barking up the wrong tree,IMO. |

| Joanna Newsom – The Book of Right-On Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
Its about acceptence in the group. Shes inviting ler lover in to her social set--"do want to run with my pack?" with plenty of bravado--"killed my dinner with karate"
The Book of Right-On is not the bible,but the collective criteria of what her group judge worthy,or "Right-on" correct, hip. Are cool enough to hang with us?
Shes saying even though you and I might be lovers, you don't get an automatic in to my group. It about the trepidation of introducing a new lover/boy/girl friend to your friends, or of being so introduced. |

| PJ Harvey – Yuri-G Lyrics

|
the yuri-lesbian thing is really a huge stretch and probably wishful thinking. Polly isn't Japanese or a Manga fan-I'm sure. I guess most words mean many things in other languages. In every interview, PJ stresses that her songs are not autobiographical--and they involve shifts in perspective,gender etc.
I think she's writing as a male-which often does-this time a crazed person-madness or love. |

About an insecure girl who resents her boyfriend's hobby.
"Think what you live" is wrong. I think its "think what you like", meaning the girl knows shes being unreasonable, but doesn't care. |

Teclo (José María Teclo Morelos y Pavón) was the name of a Mexican revolutionary bandit of the late 18th century . No connection to the song I know of, other the the exoticness of the name & maybe his quasi-mystical status. |
