Song lyrics you never understood.

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do

- Pulp

'tis beyond my ken.

Brilliant tune and lyrics about an overseas posh / rich girl coming to London and wants to play at being poor with the skint students and ends with the lines

'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Fuck off you heretic, that’s an absolute classic, who cares what it’s about or what the words mean ...

I care.... durge of a tune - too long, too overblown and too over rated....

 

[Blue Til Death]

I care.... durge of a tune - too long, too overblown and too over rated....

I care too, horses for courses, one mans meat is another mans poison and all that shite.... I could tell you why it’s so long but as you are now dead to me, I won’t bother ....

The Killers - Human

"Are we human or are we dancer?"


The fuck are you on about man!

Fun fact
To keep with the writers close affection for British culture the original line was going to be "Are we Human or are we Scousers?" Naturally the city got wind of it so he changed it to prevent another victim ceremony*

*Not really

 

[Barcon]

Macc Lads. Sweaty Betty
Well she wore big knickers and she worked on t'sewage farm
I got my hand down her jeans and I nearly lost half me arm.

It is my understanding that they are implying the aforementioned, "Betty" has a massive clopper.

Snow - Informer.
'a licky bum bum down'.

Actually, other than him saying the word 'Informer', i didn't understand much of the other lyrics either.

 

[Henkeman]

2 Unlimited:

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there's no limits"

I'm assuming this is scorching political comment on the dichotomy of the human condition vis a vis social mobility, the aspirational approach to life and the ability of the proletariat to transition between classes.

 

[Indaparkside]

I’ve been to paradise never been to me. Don’t know who sings it but it’s shit anyway

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Bob Seger’s “Against the Wind” is a great song but the line...

'Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then'

Eh?

Come again Bob.

Sounds like he's learned that ignorance is bliss.
