some corrections

arse = *ass
trousers = *pants

I have an add-on to edit out americanisms, useful sometimes but not for copy/pasting!

Braids – Lemonade Lyrics 12 years ago
LEMONADE

I don’t want to go back there

I don’t want to know what you’re wearing

There are black diamonds in your eyes

And just so you know

Your skin is scaling

Have you fucked

All those Dragons yet

They’re there sleeping in my backyard

They’re just looking out for no one

Except their smoking pissing good fun

With their dogs and wives and new sons

And the mother never will hug

Cause she’s never really felt love

Just a woman who will always lug

Just some honey with a nice shove

And what I found was that we were all just sleeping around

This girl that use to come here

With her daughter and her husband

Now no one sees her husband

Cause her arse has caught the harvest

And her trousers have got a fill

I noticed underneath the window sill

While I was jerking with my lemonade

I told them to fucked and then get laid

Now what do you say to man whose got no taste

Whose really got no potential

Except to procreate for the human essential

And what I found was that we were all just sleeping around

All we really want to do is love

Chew Lips – Eight Lyrics 14 years ago
It should be:

A high-speed chase on your wedding day.
Give and take are all the same.
Cannons shoot on grassy moor.

Where you been, I wouldn't go.

Its a high speed chase on your wedding day.
Give and take are all the same.
Cannons shoot on grassy moor.
A battlefield of love and war.

Few corrections from the album booklet:

And we read it but we didn't sign
Cos you know it when it isn't
Right better look behind both eyes
Or we're never getting out alive

Don't you know don't you know we're trying
Don't you know we can't be here for long

Stornoway – Here Comes the Blackout...! Lyrics 14 years ago
I think that this song is about terrorism and stornoway are urging the listener not to give in to fear and become suspicious about everybody.

"You're standing on the only chair
And you're singing to the screens and the moving stairs
All on your own in the arrivals"
I think that this verse is about a terrorist attack on an airport, he (the singer) is talking to the terrorist and sort of narrating the events as they unfold. For example the lines about standing on a chair and singing could be a metaphor for a terrorist shouting about his intent, the 'chair' is the means by which he's making himself heard in this case the 'chair' might be an explosive of some sort.

"You heard it in the watchman's cry
And you saw it in the bleeding evening sky
You got a Swiss army in your pocket
Cause here comes the blackout"
I think in this verse the singer is talking to another terrorist e.g. "heard it in the watchmans cry" means that the terrorist gets the signal to act after a security guard shouts. "here comes the blackout" might refer to the death of the terrorist during the attack.

"Now the hooded snake controls your mind
It stole your eye on the 7th of July
We've got to learn to love our neighbour
Before our neighbour starts scaring the love out of us"
Here I think that "hooded snake" is a metaphor for the fear people are feeling in the wake of terrorism. The "hooded snake" stole people's eyes (hope, trust etc) on the 7th of July (2005), the day of the London bombings. In the last lines the singer is urging people not to let fear take over and to trust people before the fear takes over.

"In the story of the matchstick girl
She was freezing on the streets of Peter's (bird?)
She lit a match and found a warmer world
But here comes the blackout"
I don't really understand the first two lines of this verse but the last two are quite self-explanatory, a girl lights a match and kills herself.

"A man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the the autumn moon is bright"

Florence + the Machine – Howl Lyrics 15 years ago
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them into hunters

then i think its:

"a man whose pure and full and says his prayers by night
next he'll become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright"

im not sure whether its man or maid but i went for man as im fairly sure that its "his prayer"
also not sure about "autumn moon" but autumn seems to fit?
