| Kate Bush – The Sensual World Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
Like everyone has said, the song is based on Molly's monologue.
Kate wanted to make the lyrics the monologue but they wouldn't release the rights, so she wrote this song, trying to encapture the monologue's meaning |

| Sarah McLachlan – Fear Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I didn't like this song the first time I heard it, probably because her voice is so unique in it. I listened to the lyrics, though, and thought they were bloody fantastic. Then the music grew on me and now I think it's definitely one of Sarah's greatest songs.
One of my favourite line's of all time is 'tangled up in our embrace'...fantastic. |

i agree with ya enero. No need to argue is definitely one of the best albums I've ever heard. In fact...if it weren't for McLachlan's fumbling towards ecstacy, this one could be No 1. This song in particular is so beautiful. |

can't believe no ones commented on the music. Isn't that some of the most beautiful music you've ever heard? Never mind the lyrics, its those violins that make me cry every time. |

This song is just fantastic live. Most ppl who've bought the 'no need to argue' album would've got the free cd with a couple of their live songs, and this was on it. Absolutely wonderful. |

isn't the last line 'pray a little longer, laugh a little more" not "pray a little longer OR laugh a little more?" It makes more sense without the or. Either way, its a great song. good live, too. |

| K's Choice – Another Year Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I think this song is about someone who has gotten into a rut and is just moving along in life, not caring at all.
It's a great driving song. If anyone else has to drive a long way to work, I recommend cranking this baby in the car. |

| Little Birdy – Relapse Lyrics

I love this song so much. It was the first Little Birdy I heard. I ran out and bought Big Big Love striaght away.
Crank this song in your car and sing along...though I think only Perth people appreciate that when you're at the lights...everyone else just seems to give me wierd looks. |

I agree with atthedrive-in. Little Birdy reminds me of K's Choice in that I can't BELIEVE they aren't more popular and widely known than they are. (did that make sense?)
Anyway, I love this song. Every time I hear that intro I get goosebumps... |

I agree with everyone else (except for the homosexual thing. lol, ive tried, but i just can't see it). This song is so damn good, and it goes beyond lyrics too. Just sit back and listen to it without thinking about it. Trust me, it'll give u goosebumps. |

| K's Choice – Everything For Free Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I agree with just about everyone else. I think this is a sane person who is in a mental institution and wants to stay there because they don't have to deal with everyday life and the crap that comes with it.
I didn't realise how good this song is until it i listened to it full volume on my i-pod ( I strongly recommend doing that) |

| Garbage – The World Is Not Enough Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I thought it was 'no one ever died from wanting too much' which, i think makes the most sense. It's about a woman who wants everything, and believes that a certain man can help her. Definitely the best of all the 007 songs, and the first song that made me realise just how good her voice is.
I think the line 'the world is not enough, but it is such a perfect place to start' is particularly funny. Can't you just imagine a psychotic woman who wants everything saying that? |

| Joe Jackson – It's Different For Girls Lyrics

It's definitely the girl saying to the guy 'its different for girls'. I think its about a girl who just wants sex, and a guy who wants more. lol. talk about role reversal. You;ve gotta love Joe, though |

| K's Choice – Winners Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I've always kinda had the opinion that this was written about Sarah's first lesbian love, or at least some kind of socially taboo romance.
I think the line 'try the black one, white is nice, if you want blue you'll pay the price' is saying that you have to do what's expected by society and considered safe and normal: picking a colour instead of just black or white has the price of being shunned and misunderstood.
Plus the line '...where we kissed. where you changed me, estranged me' sorta feels like this person, by kissing her, opened up this whole new world that she hadn't even considered before.
No idea if its even remotely on track, but its such a damn good song, who cares what it means? |

I've never really thought much about this song, but one thing I can say for it is that the line 'I blame you for the moonlit sky' is just damn beautiful. |

| Kate Bush – The Infant Kiss Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
Its interesting for an incest song to be woman-boy, rather than man-girl.
Like you said, starpatroller, it's typical Kate to sing something like this.
I love the vocals in it though, she's the queen of using back-ups in all the right spots, no matter what song. |

| Marc Cohn – Ghost Train Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
Great song. I think its about a baby whose lost his mother ('riding on a ghost train') and now he can't ever get her back ('she keeps on riding') Also the fact that he lost her when he was young, ('some trains they just leave too soon')
anyway, its a fantastic song. |

i totally agree with geek, lol.
Though its soooo hard to choose, this is my favourite Faith No More song. put it up as loud as your headphones can go, turn off the lights (in a non sexual way) and listen to it. awesome. I especially love the last 4 lines. goosebump worthy |

| Joan Armatrading – The Weakness In Me Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
hate to hark, but theres also a coupla lyrics wrong here.
'if you're so strong, then resolve the weakness in me' is actually, 'are you so strong, or is all the weakness in me'
and the 'and i need you baby', is actually, 'and i need you, and you' (reference to not being able to choose between the two). makes it much easier to understand, and much deeper, with the right lyrics. |

| Yoko Kanno – Inner Universe Lyrics
| 17 years ago

i think that 'mana du vortes' could actually be 'nalybuites' - russian for 'watch in awe'.
The perfect song for Stand ALone Complex though. It can sum up Motoko like nuthin else.
Also, a nod has to go to origa, who actually perform the song. That is some seriously amazing vocals. |

| Kate Bush – Breathing Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I think this song is about a baby in its mother's womb - 'outside gets inside through her skin' & 'breathing my mother in'. It paints a truly tragic picture of a baby that doesn't want to be born because of a nuclear explosion outside. Also, the 'only the fools blew it, you and me knew life itself is breathing' refers to the fact that its often children and recent mothers/pregant women who see life in its most simplest form - surviving and breathing.
Either way, its a fantastic song and one of the first of Kate's I ever heard. |

| Kate Bush – And Dream of Sheep Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I see this song as a chic being lost at sea with just a torch or something (little light shining, guiding them to me). I always thought the ending bit, rather than being a rescue, was her finally falling asleep from hypothermia, and being led deeper and deeper by 'them'.
Still, whatever you think it means, it's a great song, and despite being quite dark, it's very soothing and relaxing. |

| K's Choice – Elegia Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I can't believe no one's commented on this song. My take on it is that its from the point of view of a non-christian, whose died, and now finds herself at God's door. It made me wonder about what happens to people who aren't raised as christians if it all turns out to be true.
Anyway, great song, great piano and, as usual, great sarah |

I think its about the inability of humans to understand 'God'. He tries to explain things with parables, but in the end we'll all just interpret them as subtle jokes... I always knew the Bible was a comedy. |
