(Oi)
(I wish you'd just shut up)
(I wish you'd just shut up)
Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur
Of what is known as
(Parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided
If you take a route straight through what is known as
(Parklife)
John's got brewer's droop
He gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons
They love a bit of him
(Parklife)
Who's that gut lord marching
You should cut down on your pork life mate
Get some exercise
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife
Know what I mean?
I get up when I want
Except on Wednesdays
When I get rudely awakened by the dustmen
(Parklife)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea
And I think about leaving the house
(Parklife)
I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being
(Parklife)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day
Safe in the knowledge there will always be
A bit of my heart devoted to it
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife
Parklife
(Parklife)
Parklife
(Parklife)
It's got nothing to do with Vorsprung durch Technik, you know?
(Parklife)
(Parklife) and it's not about you joggers
Who go round and round and round
(Parklife)
(Parklife)
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife
(I wish you'd just shut up)
(I wish you'd just shut up)
Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur
Of what is known as
(Parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided
If you take a route straight through what is known as
(Parklife)
John's got brewer's droop
He gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons
They love a bit of him
(Parklife)
Who's that gut lord marching
You should cut down on your pork life mate
Get some exercise
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife
Know what I mean?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I agree this song is on american culture coming into Britain, but it also refers to a lot of the way people in the UK live out their lives. "Morning soup" is refering to the polluted smog around London, and the line "John's got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the pigeons they love a bit of it" is probly about a drunk who's still drunk in the morning waking up to find pigeons pecking at him for food, sounds funny but they do love a bit of it! The song sounds to me like a piss-take reflection on how average Joe Bloggs lives out his life in central cockney London
@lukegould140 <br /> <br /> You may want to look up the definition of brewers droop lol
a Pulp-ish piss take on English suburban living.
agreed. Damon said it was about how the British are becoming too Americanised
brewers droop is when, after courting a lady in your drinking establishment, you wish to take her home. Now, when the time comes for you to introduce her to your little General it, unfortunately, does not want to stand to attention. Thus, brewers droop is your little solider remaing flaccid, rather than turgid.
geddit?
Nicely put!
yeah i advise u watch 'live forever' brilliant dvd, damion himself said it was about how american culture was comeing in to britain. Damion: "plastic mouldings and fun pubs really anoyed me, you just rip evrything out and replaced it with crap"
I always thought brewer's droop was when you have too much to drink and can't get it up.
I'm British - is that not what it means?
like the tune and the accent he uses. it sounds like porklife, not parlife.
Spot on!!! I think that is kind of deliberate. I think the song is about fat people, porky people..............Porklife!!!!
I think this song is encouraging us all to live together in harmony despite all of our differences, and the park represents the world all the people share.
No it is "morning soup". I've got the Parklife alnum and inside the leaflet the lyrics say "morning soup". However, you are right on one thing, it makes no sense. I know what this song is about, having a go at americanisation (like many of their songs), yet i have no idea what the lyrics mean. I assume "parklife" means "american life" but there arecertain lyrics which just don't seem to mean anything. e.g. "John's got brewers droop..." There are lyrics however which can totally be adapted to the "having a go at americanisation" like the "gut lord marching" line, obviously taking the piss out of obesity which seems to be popular in america. I think the second verse talks about what english people should be doing, e.g. "have a cup of tea..." (a very english thing to do) and "feed the pidgeons". But as i said before, most of this song doesn't make direct sense.
@DM2K <br /> brewers droop is the inability to hold an erection, after drinking too much
