labellementeuseAND I feel like doing that favourite lyrics meme again. I don't know why.
1. "Free to run around all day..." "Well that's definitely out of the question!"
2. "I hear your key/turning in the door/I won't be hearing/that sound anymore/and you and your sin/can leave the way you just came in..."
3. "And there's no question why/you're driving to kill some time/racing the powerlines/back into town..."
4. "Recommended at the price/Insatiable an appetite/wanna try?/To avoid complications/She never kept the same address/In conversation/ she spoke just like a baroness..."
5. "When you're lost in the places you don't care to stay/a blinding romance to blow you away..."
6. "And the people bowed and prayed/to the neon God they made/and the sand flashed out its warning/ in the words that it was forming/ and the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls!"
7. "All the times that I've tried, keeping all the things I knew inside (stay, stay, stay) / It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it ( why must you go and)/ if they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me (make this decision alone)/ Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away..."
8. "I'm only asking because I wanna know/how you wanna feel."
9. "The word is churlish!"
10. "Imagine being a Kennedy/fool without a remedy/to watch your family die/world loves the sacrifice"
11. "Well Momma look down and spit on the ground/every time my name gets mentioned/Pappa said oi, if I get that boy I'm going to stick him in the house of detention!"
12. "Always thought that I would love to live by the sea/to travel he world alone, and live more simply/I have no idea what's happened to that dream/'cause there's really nothing left here to stop me."
13. "She left all her things, well, her books and her letters from him/But as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him."
14. "A pocketful of mumbles such are promises/all lies and jest!"
15. "Well it's alright, it's alright/you can be forever blessed/Still, tomorrow's going to be a working day/I'm trying to get some rest." (really, I love every word in the song. Just FYI.)
16. "Flogging the rockinghorse/getting nowehre/we are a pair to behold/you like a funeral, me like a fair/and nobody cares for the show."
17. "chan chan!" (this one's impossible, I should just tell you it, but I will give you the hint that the whole song is in SPANISH, or something, and so I don't understand ANY of it. This is the only lyric I know.
18. "Remember my dear this time last year/The sunsets were late and the days were long/And the nights were filled with song..."
19. "It's late at night, I;m feeling down/There are couples standing on the street sharing summer kisses and silly sounds..."
20. "A band of angels coming after me.."
Whoo. :p

I had the most hilarious argument with my sister last night over Brooke Fraser's "What To Do With Daylight". Ellie insisted the lyrics didn't mean anything. I insisted they did, insomuch as any pop love song's lyrics mean something. I should have reminded her about American Pie, or Bohemian Rhapsody. Pop lyrics do not have to make sense. Simon Morris wrote a hilarious essay on "How To Write a Hit Song", and he emphasised this quite strongly. (Film reviewer guy off National Radio. Very good at it, too.)

Date: 2004-10-01 04:49 am (UTC)OMG WHY IS NO-ONE GETTING 20? DO I NEED TO QUITE THE NEXT LINE? IT IS SO SO SO SO OBVIOUS! *falls over laughing* You are all going to DIE when I tell you.
The song title is actally "Arithmetic," but hey. And the words so do mean something! I mean, there are SO many more nonsensical songs... look at At the Zoo, or practically anything by Bob Dylan.
Speaking of "Arithmetic", does this verse not totally remind you of Dairine?
"I've been counting up all my wrongs
one sorry for each star,
see I'd apologise my way to you
if the heavens stretched that far..."
But I still agree with you, pop songs don't have to make sense. Of course it's nice if they do- but I'd take Bohemian Rhapsody over a crap song-story about boy meets girl blah blah ANY day.

Date: 2004-10-01 10:00 pm (UTC)Interestingly enough, that is the verse my sister quoted at me to prove the song had no meaning. I argued that it did, because...hell, I don't need to explain it to you. Meh. I love Ellie, but understand her? Never.
