| Scott Walker – Windows of the World Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
|
Boy ponders sadness of the world as if stuck indoors on a rainy day, yearning for the shitness to lift, for the sun to return and shine through the windows once more so that kids can play in the sun - not be called up to fight for their country. Cracking little low-key song. |

|
|
Boy recalls with bitterness waiting in line to lose his virginity in an army truck/ mobile whorehouse, the unpleasant experience and everything surrounding it shaping his later bleak worldview. |

| Scott Walker – Jackie Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
|
Boy speculates about a drunken, debauched, sleazy or dead future for himself where he will recall the present, his glory days, the time they called him Jacky, and will yearn then for what he presently finds shallow. Like someone else said, a brilliant reflection on the fleeting nature of fame. |

Boy meets family after time apart, wants less questions about his (to him) pretty good life, and more time to just rest up before moving on again. |

| Scott Walker – The Amorous Humphrey Plugg Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
|
Boy meets big shot old friend (or possibly imagines an alternate version of himself who took a different path), shares his own tired life woes, and dreams at night he has the life of significance, romance and magic that he yearns for. Great song. |

Boy meets girl. Girl meets new boy. Original boy throws a strop and tells her she can't have the best of both worlds. Then begs her to chose him, not new guy. |

| The Walker Brothers – I Wanna Know Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
|
Boy meets girl, wants to know if he should stay with her because he's made up his mind she's the one for him. Boy's starting position and subsequent line of questioning appear inconsistent and unclear. Girl could do better. |

| The Walker Brothers – Orpheus Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
|
Boy meets married girls and harpoons them with his bent and rusty nail to make them feel better in their loveless lives. He shouldn't do it, but it's okay 'cause boy is a divine creative genius. Like Orpheus. |

| The Walker Brothers – Experience Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
|
Boy toasts memories of a life passed too quickly. As well as every 'memory' and 'every' sounding confusingly like Emily. At any rate, a toast to experience and a life lived. Emily or otherwise. |

|
|
Boy meets girl, girl isn't exactly the same as him, boy loses interest. A heartwarming tale of narcissism. |
