Songs that you (yes, you) should definitely get

Was sorting out my songs today and I decided to make a list of songs that I like the meanings of. So here it is:

Damien Rice - Volcano
"You give me miles and miles of mountains and I ask for the sea"
About someone who loves you, but you don't love them back.

Damien Rice - Cheers Darlin'
"Here's to you and your lover boy" "I should have kissed you when we were alone"
Meeting your ex and her new guy, but you still have feelings for her.

Franz Ferdinand - The Dark of the Matinee
"Take your white finger, slide a nail under, the top and bottom buttons off, my blazer"
"Time every journey, to bump into you, accidentally I, charm you and tell you"
"Not to look at you in the shoes, but the eyes"
Reminds me of high school and girls.

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
"And if you leave here you leave me broken shatterd I lie"
Classic. If you ever wondered what it was about, it's a song about the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (sejarah textbook anyone?), they shot his wife first. The whole song is in the voice of Mr. Ferdinand speaking to the assasin and asking the assasin to kill him because without his wife there is no reason to live.

Franz Ferdinand - Auf Achse (it means "on axel")
This song, to me refers to human nature and the death of Jesus Christ. The beginning part of the song has lots of lines like "you see her, you can't touch her", "you want her, you can't have her" "she's not so special, so look what you've done boy". Then afterwards they change tempo and have a few lines that starts with "Now i'm here nailed above you, blood gushing from my side, with your sins you have killed me, thinking of your sins i die...". Then the song switches back to the original tempo and it goes back to the lines "you see her" but there is no "you can't touch her" line. Make your own conclusion to what that means. I'm an agnostic theist.

Franz Ferdinand - Darts of Pleasure
"You can feel my lips undress your eyes" "Words are poison darts of pleasure, die, so you die"
"Ich heiße Superphantastisch! Ich trinke Schampus mit Lachsfisch!"
To me its about talking someone into falling for you, not by looks.

Stars - Your Ex-lover is Dead
"When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire"
"And all of the time you thought i was sad, i was trying to remember your name"
"Live through this and you won't look back"
Doesn't everyone know this song? A Stars song is always well written.
"I'm not sorry i met you, i'm not sorry it's over, i'm not sorry there's nothing to say"

Stars - One More Night
"Dark little heaven on top of the stairs"
"I'll kill who you hate, take off that dress you won't freeze"
"Look him straight in the eye, and tell him right now that you wish he would die"
"Bleeding him empty just because he's a man"

Stars - The Big Fight
She: "It's death for the living"
He: "Yes I am a ghost"
The name means what it is.
"He doesn't want her but he just won't let her go"

Death Cab For Cutie - Tiny Vessels
"Yea she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me."

Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticsm
"I need you so much closer"


And as you can see, i'm getting lazier and lazier in explaining the songs.

Random lines i like (and they're all pretty good songs too):

Art Brut - Emily Kane
" I don't even know where she lives
I've not seen her in 10 years...
9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes, 5 seconds"

Weezer - El Scorcho
The song's first line:
"GODDAMN you half-japanese girls!"

Weezer- Falling For You
"'cos i'm a burning candle and your a gentle moth teaching me to lick a little bit kinder"

Franz Ferdinand - Cheating On You
"Goodbye girlie 'cos it's only love"
"Goodbye girlie, yes i'm a loser"

Franz Ferdinand - Jacqueline
"Sometime these eyes
Forget the face they're peering from
When the face they peer upon
Well you know that face as I do
And how in the return of the gaze
She can return you the face that you are staring from"

Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away
"Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs, Churchill claps Mao Zedong on the back."

Arctic Monkeys - Riot Van
"Got a chase last night from men in truncheons dressed in hats"

Stars - He Lied About Death
"Keep watching the skies, 'cos you might get lucky again"
George Bush hate song.

EXCEPT FOR YOU"
