When you come across the sea Me like a beacon, guiding you to safety The sooner the better now And when you come The hills will breathe like a baby Pulled up, heaving from the bottom of the ocean The sooner the better now And when you come to cover me Fresh with your kisses Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions And that is why I stumble to my knees And why, underneath the Heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know why I could never let you down When you come When you come like an iceberg float in darkness Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea I should know you better now And when you come, your majesty to entrap me Prince of light receding The sooner the better now And when you come to cover me With your kisses hard like armour The sooner the better now I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions, hey And that is why I stumble to my knees And why underneath the Heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know why I could never let you down She came out of the water Into my horizon Like a cumulo nimbus Coming in from the distance Burning and exploding Burning and exploding Like a slow volcano When you come Cover the ground with ashes, with ashes Baby, when you come Nothing changes, now When you come Burning and exploding When you come When you come	zyzILCQvVeUFIINi	67096	Loose Tongue, how would you explain the "She" mentioned in the latest verse? I mean, Jesus is not female, unless Neil knows something we don't. And you're not agnostic, you're just shifting spiritual stances, the light of our Lord the savior is burning within you, sir!
And you take me over over again And you take me over over again Wonder how can i go on and on when you want to bury my passion you are the shell around and i cannot escape and i swallow my pride Entwined together now it's time to pass it over (and you take me over, over again) entwined together now (and you take me over, over again) entwined forever Wonder how can i live on and on when you want to live in a hurry you are the wall that i, that i have to remove and i swallow i swallow my pride Entwined together now it's time to pass it over entwined together now entwined forever And you take me over over again and you take me over over again and you take me over over again and you take me over over again Entwined together now it's time to pass it over (and you take me over, over again) entwined together now (and you take me over, over again) entwined forever	zz5FyNYxXZ3ZTflI	3530822107858484197	I feel this song is about wanting to get rid of your significant lover, but you've been with them for so long, and you're so used to them being around, that you're scared to make the split so you just stay with them. charismafairchildon April 14, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

It's also about the way you sort of merge into one person with the person you love, how you feel that they're part of your body and soul.

The "real" you tries to break free from this paralyzing shell surrounding the truth. The person inside is inhibited because of this powerful outer personality. But at the same time these persons are entwined together, forming one person, in deep secret anxiety. _Shai_on June 19, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

One wants to try to make things better but the other isn't doing much to help. He/She wants to leave but they can't seem to bring them self to do so.

It could also be related to someone who is too held down and lacking in motivation or confidence to make their own path, free from someone else.

They want to be able to have the freedom to do what they want, whether it's go out or whatever. groupingon July 02, 2002 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

"we're not the fortunate ones" could refer to them not being able to choose everything about their lives, like in the old days. they have to take into account the fact that girls DO wanna have fun, not just be housewifes. in the next verse when the phone rings in the middle of the night and her dad gets mad and she says "daddy dear your still number one" she probably means "you're still the main man in my life" (in a nice way) because he was always thyere for her, but he has to accept that girls just wanna have fun and party and live there own lives. the "some bys take a beautiful girl" verse is my favourite part of the song. she wants to be the one to kick start the modern idea of living your own life and just having fun! rathr than sticking to the old-fashioned way of being a good little housewife all the time. nemelcyon July 16, 2007 Link1 Reply Log in to replyThere was an error. @nemelcyI agree with this interpretation of the song!

The music is full of life. Cyndi's vocal is so piercingly high and bright. The way she sings is so free and effortless, assertive but not aggressive. Even the title that uses the casual "wanna" instead of the formal form "want to", suggesting the sense of a small rebellion. I particularly love that even though it is a cheerful pop song, it has a touch of reality, talking about jobs, adult responsibility and social expectations. It's an anthem of modern women, who are seeking happiness for themselves in the world full of seriousness and restrictions. lazyheadon June 18, 2013 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Our upstairs apartment used to blast Lauper. It was the early 80's and music was just FUN. He always said he was "one of the girls" and he really could cook; bake; and clean better than I! Lauper's wonderful....way ahead of her time, at least back then. SweetCheeks2on February 26, 2012I wish today's kids would have more knowledge of Lauper and just how cutting edge she was (lyrically) back in the 80's. This song is perfect for those of us who are single...it's about hanging out with friends and having fun w/o worry. Just LUV Lauper!

And I've always adored Lauper, especially for how she helped mold music in the early 80's. She was a role model for change (needed change). For me, this song is not about getting laid or drinking to get drunk. It's about letting lose emotionally and feeling free. I am so excited to be starting a new job soon; making money; meeting new people; and finally getting on with my life. I hope that I meet someone relatively handsome; extremely bright; blue collar; and who loves to dance and attend music concerts. If he likes to read poetry, I'll be in Heaven. I want to have FUN...try new foods; dance at new places; take trips out of town; cook for people; walk in the rain (NO, dance in the rain!) and laugh my arse off. I've spent too much time inside and too much time frowning the last few years. It's time to live again! And Lauper's music is always inspiring, much like P!nk's messages in her music.

It was men and the girls. It implied woman were not equals and not as serious. I think this song was a way for woman to retake ownership of the word. We are not the fortunate ones. I take this to mean "we weren't born men". Then with strength it mocks the term by claiming innocence while asserting independence and freedom to do as we please. It was a non confrontational, playful way to announce defiance of men's traditional assumption of superiority to woman. aslexon January 02, 2014 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Don't think it's what you're afraid of come in you know what's been made up Hold you tight, words have a new sound reading the signs that just seep out You've got to leave it "Don't you go evade me now Come see what you've done" Each of your reasons has broken call it off once you have spoken Filled to the top then split open repeating over and over Now you have to leave it "Don't you go evade me now Come see what you've done I've been thinking lately how all these feelings won"	zzT504Z94j1IAuc3	3530822107858880352	I see this song is about two people who are just so hopelessly meant to be together, but one is afraid of it and running away, "leave it" meaning don't make this harder than it has to be (because she's trying to get away). And the speaker (hold you tight, words have a new sound) knows what they have is special and is holding on to her tightly (emotionally). Because the subject is afraid of the relationship, she is making excusing to why it cannot work - all of which have been disproven in practice (each of your reasons has broken). The speaker is upset because he sees how meant to be the two are together, despite the subject's disagreement (Don't you go evade me now/Come see what you've done) and the speaker wants the subject to see the damage she has done to him. He's been thinking lately of the inevitability of their being together (I've been thinking lately how/all these feelings won"). Get over it woman. Let what must be be!

So my interpretation of it is WILLING yourself to distance everything. To tell yourself again for reassurance and make yourself stronger by not letting them do it any more despite the feelings:"Once you leave never come back X2"and"I've been thinking lately how these feelings won?" It's a self-heal and 'moving on' song that really helps in my opinion.

I think it describes how joining the military is made to look so heroic and respectful to your country, but once you're out on the battlefield, nothing matters but yourself. The government doesn't care if you live or die, they just want you to do their bidding at your expense. Of course, this doesn't mean that you are ignorant for joining the armed forces, I still think it is very respectable, and I'm not taling about the U.S. government in particular.

We all need to escape the governments mind control over us and think for ourselves. Just ask yourself what you're fighting for? Is it worth your life to maintain safety and prosperity for the rich and greedy? For the ones that make you 50 hours a week, holding a shitty wage over your head, and controlling your life with a dollar bill. The fact that they attempt to screw you in every situation possible? America brainwashes us to think we're fighting to maintain the great American way of life, but the "great American life" is a life of slavery.

It's fast, heavy and has deep meaning. I think this song talks about war and soldiers. This song is graphically stating images that a soldier sees in war and how it changes him along the way. Also, it shows the effects of drafting someone into the services and making them "bred to kill, not to care. Just do as we(government) say" Great song.

I will just post that. The song Disposable Heroes is a vivid description of the facade of glory created by the military for it’s young soldiers. It opens eyes to the true ways of war, and denial of a future for said adolescents. The sole purpose of these atrocities is for the government to sustain authoritative status while the pawns are quickly devoured and forgotten. The functions carried out by these figures all work to operate a well-oiled machine. Auguste Comte would analyze the structure set by Disposable Heroes in classic functionalist fashion. The song could be applied directly to society as a whole. Those with power take its citizens’ children and send them off to war in order to uphold their own position. When presented with a folded American flag, their parents will be told their loved ones died in a selfless act of patriotism and that their deeds will never be forgotten. Such an act will lead parents to believe their children died for a just cause, and not over petty politics. In the song, it would appear that the soldiers are led into the battlefield with a John Wayne attitude. They believe that they can bypass the guts and feast upon the glory. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Only when met with the cruel reality of what war is can a trained killer once again recognize a fragile human’s reflection in the mirror, and feel an emotion such as fear. At this point, it is too late for any comfort, as they are met in fierce combat where it is kill or be killed. As the song approaches it’s ending, the soldier on the frontline questions his very existence. He has failed to grasp the reason he has been condemned to such a fate. Reminiscing what he was trained to do, he realizes his promise of glory was nothing more then a pipe dream. He finally reaches his only reality: “Hell is here.” Here, the lyrics take on a new form when the authority governing over these disposable heroes speaks. Relinquishing the soldier’s emotion, he is ordered “back to the front” to fulfill

This was one of the last songs that got written before Metallica was neutered. Think about it. When these bands got started, they were all pretty young. I mean, Death Angel had like 12-year old members. Many of them lacked technical skill but they made up for it in emotion. For a while in the 80's, the thrash scene was glorified, but once the trend ended, many either disbanded or sold out. In the middle of the 90's, what did thrash metal have to show for all its hard work the decade before? Overkill, and... yeah, just Overkill. If you look at early Metallica lyrics, they were pretty gung-ho about just being metal and rocking out. Of course, Dave Mustaine may have had a lot to do with that, and since he didn't follow orders, they kicked him out (of course the most obvious rebuttal to this point is the Risk album, but anyway...). This song prophecized what was to come for the band. The next Metallica was ...And Justice For All, which had the technical skill that I mentioned had previously been lacking in thrash in general, but compared to Ride The Lightning, it was damn boring. By the time the Black Album came out, they were no longer a thrash metal band. Now, I personally think it was a fine album, but you can't argue that Metallica still felt the glory of the old days. I suppose there's a ray of hope in the dismal lyrics of this song contained within the metaphor I applied to it in that a bunch of bands are reuniting and releasing new albums. But then again the only ones able to do it as well as they used to are Maiden and Motorhead (and I haven't heard the new Priest). Looking forward to the new Dark Angel and Sadus though. emmerderon May 29, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

There is no excuse for any war and there have never been any good or "holy" wars. (with the possible exceptions of wwII -liberating the Jews- and the star wars trilogies --both of them)Lyrics like "soldiar boy, made pf clay now an empty shell. 21 only son but he served us well" speak of the callousness of army officials and commanders- in- chief whose only motivation are greed and power. Metallica has always been a band of substance and this song is just one example. No one should hide under patriotism as an excuse to take away human life. Patriotism breeds nationalism which is a fancy word for racism. This song cuts through the treacle and shows just what it is really like out there on the battle field.

It's about governments using them to start wars for their own benefit (like stealing resources) and how the soldiers are forced to blindly follow without questioning whether or not what they are doing is right. This relates to the major theme of the album "Master of Puppets" - people being controlled by someone for that person's benefit without realising it (puppets). This theme is also communicated in other songs of the album such as master of puppets, sanitarium and leper messiah.

I think that the wars we've had after WWII and specially the war going on right now are completely pointless. I beleive if you are going to send a country to war you better have a damn good reason for it. BAHAHAHA....weapons of mass destruction.....what joke. Although i can't say I'm entirely against war cause i'm not some kind of hippy. For example in WWII when the Germans were taking over, if no one went to war we'd look like idiots. War is appropriate at certain times and I beleive all the soldiers that fought and died should not have a bunch of people saying "No soldier is a hero, they're all disposable"......I say this to you...you go up to any veteran that fought for your country in WWII and say that to his face....Nameless123on January 11, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Vietnam is not a very strong outpost for any military base and thus it's insignificant for America to defend it. When China was being ruled over my communist that would have been better to defend since China is huge and has a massive population. Look at China now, if there was ever a WWIII it'd be with China and America due to the fact that both of them are considered Superpowers. It'd be Democracy vs Communism again.

It is simply men killing men, everything is expendable and everyone is seen as a hero when all they are is a blob of fighting flesh. Well, that is what I get from it and I'm satisfied with that primeval way of thinking..Coyotemanon June 21, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

THen again I find the imagery in this song asociated with the First World War so that might be why. In WWI there was a mulitude of cases where men were ordered "back to the front" despite quite clearly demonstrating massive psychological trauma. It always struck me that the programming alluded to in this song was that in time of war you signed up and fought, not break down half way. Basically until you're dead or a gibbering wreck like many men were reduced to. Delicious Soyon November 08, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I agree with them. It sounds like the song writter might have lost a close friend or family member because or war. I also agree with what there saying about how the military doesnt care about letting young inocent boys die they just care about getting more stripes on their jacket or metals on their uniform. If I was going to write the song I would have mentioned how with the draft the govenmet is just getting as many kids they can giving them guns ordering them to kill dropping them off in combat and expecting them to know what to do. lcchson September 10, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

If you look at the cover of the album, it looks like it is directly connected to this song. This song is the story of a young soldier who has been sent to war against his will, born to join the army with no say in what he would like to do with his life. The first verse is what he initially sees as he enters the battle. The part after that is his general speaking to his parents, in what I guess to be the soldier's imagination. He's dreaming about getting out of that hellish war. The general's BACK TO THE FRONT brings him back to his grim reality. In the second verse, the young soldier is a little more used to his surroundings as he fights. The war is violent and very long. The third verse, to me at least, is extremely moving. By the time the third verse comes along, it seems as if the soldier has been shot badly or hurt some other way, or is at least lost in the battle. Indeed, the words in the third verse sound like those of a man whose life is flashing before his eyes. Very moving song indeed, my absolute favorite Metallica song and vote for their best and most moving war song. -Mtude3mtude3on June 15, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Then, one solider has been killing, and now he can do it without a thought, without a soul. And he is trained to do it. And how you 'serve your country' when you really make the kill big, and the war more. It's like how the president deems the killers heroes, and the ones who don't kill, the ones with souls scum. And then a ruthless general literally commands them to death. And then the other solider doesn't seem to be seeing what the generals see and what he thinks is right.

They dont think you're a hero, they just need you so they can use you, like your some worthless piece of ****. And another meaning I have thought about is maybe a little bit inaccurate, but i dont know. Just read it lol. This song could be about someone who thinks they're just worthless, and should die. They think they have no purpose for being here, on earth. So they think they're just "born for dying." I know most will disagree with that last comment/interpretation, but thats just one guess at a secondary meaning.

This song is one of the best examples of an anti-war song, and not just by Metallica or in metal, but in music in general. And it is also my favorite song by Metallica. It's not about "using your fucking brain". Just read the lyrics: "Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say": The whole way you've been raised by the system has deprived you of your will and made you a killer, not a free-thinker. You can't use your fucking brain. You are too frail to make your stand and object: "Soldier boy, made of clay" - Clay is a material that is very easy to manipulate and give any shape you want, but once baked, it becomes very brittle and easily breakable. Still, as dehumanizing as all that goes on in war is, the hero in the song has retained a bit of his conscience and is able to see through all the madness. That's why in the mid-section of the song he asks himself "Why am I dying?" and towards the end, he reaches the realization: "I was born for dying" However, it is much too late now, and he realizes his helplessness to change his fate, so he just accepts it (final verse)In war, you are just a mindless puppet, and it's the people above, the ones you don't see, that pull your strings. They are in charge of your thoughts, of your actions, of your life and death. Look at the album cover: You see a huge, huge graveyard, going as far as the eye can see, and to each gravestone is attached a string, and all strings are held by the puppet master, faceless, represented only by a pair of hands. That's what being a soldier is really about. LaughingSkullon August 11, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

In AJFA especially, Metallica had their finger on the true pulse of how the world is run, and I'm glad too that they and I are on the same page on those matters. Unfortunately, the way their views progressed over the years is truly shocking to me as a fan. James Hetfield has stated on multiple occasions that he supports the current wars in the Middle East??? They even accepted an invitation to play on the opening party for Modern Warfare, a game which is pure pro-war, pro-US-imperialism propaganda. sucks...LaughingSkullon October 30, 2011 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes endNo one to play soldier now, no one to pretendNo more children's dreams of being a soldier and a hero when you're older, this shit's for real and you're quick to realise. Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them allVictim of what said should be, a servant 'til I fallBasically what you go through during a battle, 'running blind through killing fields', 'bred to kill them all' refering to how you're trained to fire a weapon, but born to kill others. Soldier boy, made of clayNow an empty shellTwenty one, only sonBut he served us wellBred to kill, not to careJust do as we sayFinished here, greeting DeathHe's yours to take awayEvery soldier is an individual, the government acts as if it's a huge loss to lose one soldier to the relatives, but for those he fought for he was nothing but a pawn. Back to the frontYou will do, what I say, when I sayBack to the frontyou will die, when I say, you must dieBack to the frontIf you're called in for duty, you MUST go. Soldiers of the Red Army (The USSR's Army) always had to keep moving forward to the German lines, with or without a weapon, which were scarce anyhow, seeing as 25 million Red Army soldiers have died during WW2. Just cannon fodder. And if the soldiers ran back to their 'comrades', they would get shot by them. You cowardYou servantYou blind manYou're signing up to be used as a pawn, you're a servant and a blind man. Barking of machine gun fire, does nothing to me nowSounding of the clock that ticks, got used to it somehowLiving in war the entire time somehow gets people used to it, no longer questioning whatever orders they get and blindly running into machine gun fire. Kinda tying in with the whole 'Master of Puppets' idea. More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker

This is one of them. Could the whole "war" be a metaphor? I'm thinking STD's. Especially the last line of the 3rd verse: Alone I clench my gun... :PAnother song that could be interpreted this way is No Remorse.

Hungry Heroes end; both the Germans and French had trouble getting food to both their troops and their population. Back to the Front; The troops that survived the constant combat along the Western Front were constantly rotated from the Front and back. You will die when I say; The officers of the day used whistles in the 1914-1915 to call the assault, and that meant go or be killed. Deserters and Dereliction of duty was punishable by death on site. Hell, Hell Is Here; the battles for the Marne, Verdun, Flanders, etc, were barren battlefields spotted with hundreds of thousands of craters from artillery. Bodies lay on the field, in the trenches, and in the craters. Most of the time the bodies were thrown into the craters from the trenches if it was possible, but quite often they were buried inside the trenches as best as possible. This is why they still find remains in these places to this day. Barking of Machine gun fire; machine gun fire was a knat by comparison to the constant drum of artillery fire. many men were so worn down by artillery fire that the rain and cold was worse than the thought of hearing the gunfire or hearing their fellow soldiers dying. But this is also considering that "One" was also about WW1 as well. john101533on June 26, 2015 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I appreciate Metallica for writing a song that allows me to live vicariously through a soldier that has gone to war and seen shit that I've never seen in my life. I'm sure there are plenty of veterans that listen to this song that probably feel that Metallica got it right too. Disposable Heroes is a great title too simply because being a Hero is something every human at some point has looked up to or inspired to be, but when it comes to war, at the end of the day I think many people would trade it away if it meant just living a normal life. The truth is, if you're a soldier, you are disposable simply because you're conditionally trained to commit and execute without any concern for what happens after. This song portrays the reality of life for many soldiers, but I can't help but love it because there's no band better than portraying this message than Metallica.

As an Army infantryman, I can tell you that anyone with an IQ over 60 and a decent set of morals who goes Infantry knows he's just a tool in the end. Yes, the Army lies and manipulates their soldiers, but fact of the matter is, there's no consolation prizes in war. Infantrymen allow themselves to be fed propaganda and bullshit machismo because planned ignorance is the only way to build soldiers who can win. The truth about war would destroy most men's motivation before they even reached the battlefield. Those of us who are smart enough know this before we sign up, and we accept it as best we can. That's our unique burden to bear. And boy, does it suck. We get the shittiest, nastiest, most dangerous and undesirable job in the Army, and our one benefit is to be able to say: "I did it because it needed to be done, and I was the only one who would do it."

They run off to troubled area of the world and fight, believing that they're being heoric and doing the right thing when in reality they've only been fucked over by idiot like Bush who are doing this kinda shit right now. Anti-Flag have a good song about this kinda stuff called ANATOMY OF YOUR ENEMYAnatomy of Your Enemy by ANti-Flag10 easy steps to create an enemy and start a war: Listen closely because we will all see this weapon used in our lives. It can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most highly educated. We need to see their tactics as a weapon against humanity and not as truth. First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will be done for you. Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you. Find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habits fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job, they are heatless murderers who enjoy killing! Third Step: Once these differences are established continue to reinforce them with all disseminated information. Fourth Step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information. This can be done through state run media. This can also be achieved through the use of flags. Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information. Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run. Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant, or different. Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine. Chorus:THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR. THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. Sixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party. Create an "Us versus Them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions in between. One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be considered a traitor. Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and rhetoric to define all actions. This can be achieved by

This song isnt "anti-war" or "anti-patriot" Its about using your fucking brain, knowing when you're being used, and standing up against it, nothing wrong with defending oneself, it makes me wonder, if people like most of you ran America, Britain, etc, who would have stood up to the Nazi's? No one...you're like Chamberlain..if it wasn't for a real man like Churchill, who didn't take shit from the SS...we'd be speaking German right now, and tipping our hats to the Fuhrer...ignorant trash is what most of you are, you can't comprehend that sometimes, you have to do what it takes...its truly sad..im not "pro-War" but i'm not against using it when diplomacy is fucked right in the ass.

I feel like this is a certain commentary on the simplistic hippie movement while also being part of it. I have to agree that Forever Changes is one of the best albums of the 20th century and yet one of the least known. It sounds like it came right out of the 60s, yet it's full of complexity that you don't get from many of the psychedelic bands of the time. Plus the chord changes and modulations in most of their songs are something that hardly anyone else ever does. Amazing stuff.

Below is my interpretation of it. "Innocence, it don't come easy, in a sense it never will. Accidents means no ones guilty, ignorance means someone's killed"This represents the Bush administration's refusal to take blame for entering into a war we shouldn't have begun in the first place. This lays the premise for the rest of the verse. "So I asked our Mr. Mellor how one gets to where one's goingAnd he points to his survival, and he points me down the road"This is, in fact, a reference to Joe Strummer. Ted Leo identifies with Joe Strummer as both a musician and activist. Ted, finding it difficult to rise above his feelings of despair resulting from the war, finds inspiration in Joe Strummer overcoming the same personal obstacles. "On a dark wet night in April, on a street in Jersey whereI went looking for some writing that I knew would not be there"April 2003 saw the climax of the War in Iraq with the fall of Baghdad and Saddam's regime. I believe the writing that Ted is talking about is a report on finding Weapons of Mass Destruction, which many people didn't believe existed, however if they did they were expected to be found around this time. This also gives relevance to the next lines..."And a punter from the Pelhams and the police, in the rain,Were concerned more with a car than with the fact the light had"The car represents the war in Iraq and the light represents the reasons for going to war. With the lack of Weapons of Mass Destruction, the light had changed from green to red. A punter is a gambler who bets against the house(used metaphorically in this sense to represent his opposition to who he's arguing) and the police is also metaphorical, representing an individual or organization that supports the government. The Pelhams is a middle class suburban area just outside of New York City. Both are arguing about the war but neglecting the fact that the very reasons used to go to war are now invalid. "But after listening all morning, as I drove down 9

"So I asked our Mr. Mellor how one gets to where one's goingAnd he points to his survival, and he points me down the road"This refers to how most people want someone to guide them through their lives but that there is no proven way to get through the maze of life. Instead they must go about obtaining an answer on their own. "Were concerned more with a car than with the fact the light had changed"This reveals that society spends so much time labeling a person that it doesn't take into account the fact that all of the circumstances surrounding that person have changed.

'Cause I go on and on to lead a light low Wondering if I've got a soul and counting down the hours 'til it goes On and on to lead a light low Wondering if I've got a soul and counting down the hours 'til it goes	zzx8CWdM7qkxKQpC	3530822107858518857	"But after listening all morning, as I drove down 95To a story of detainees who were barely kept alive"This is about the prisoners at Abu Graib who were tortured. "I could deal with trying to process pigeons acting like they're dovesBut not with interference from the power lines above "This means that pigeons on the powerlines were messing up the signal, so the driver couldn't listen to the report of Abu Graib. "And if I told you I felt ageless, would you tell me I'm not old? " Telling someone that they aren't old when they say they feel ageless is a sure-fire sign that you haven't been listening to what they said. This means that the person feels misunderstood.

Also, by interference from power lines above, I think he means that no one really takes information into consideration and forms their own opinion, they are simply taking a stance based on pop culture and are perpetuating their existence as pigeons. If you listen to the whole album, it deals a lot with activism and doing something about how you feel. The song "Shake the Streets" displays this. This however is the song that turned me on to Ted Leo and it is still one of my favorites. uideltbushon March 22, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Theres some heavy rock, some acid rock in there, some reggae at the end. it blows my mind how easy they make it seem. allofmylove68on January 09, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.
