Okay, I'm not going to argue as I don't know them personally and what I have picked up is second hand gossip.
But i believe it anyway! :-)0 -
Born In The USA. It's not a celebration0

I've heard that too (on here a bit earlier for starters) and I believe it, but it's hard to shake when the guy keeps yelling 'BORN IN THE USA' over and over again.5_12_2004at1752 said:Born In The USA. It's not a celebration
Bloody boring song too! Like fingernails dragging up and down a blackboard.

It is according to this. Although, I have to say I can't fathom it.Henry Irving said:

Its going to happen - happen - till your change your mind
Its going to happen - happen - happens all the time
Its going to happen - happen - till your change your mind
Best story I ever heard
The truth about fat Mr X and the young girl
See how far he'll let you go
Before he persuades you when you're walking home
Happens all the time ...
Watching your friends passing by
Going to sleep without blinking a blue eye
Too slow to notice what's wrong
Two faced to you when you're taking them on
Happens all the time ...
Everything goes when you're dead
Everything empties from what was in your head
No point in waiting today
Stupid revenge is what's making you stay
Its going to happen - happen - till your change your mind
Nothing about the IRA

I remember Feargal Sharkey saying teenage kicks wasn't about fulfilling lustful desires with a girl but relieving youthful frustration by other means. Originally the lyrics went "I wanna hold IT, wanna hold IT tight, get teenage kicks right through the night". So, yet another song about Jodrell Bank0

XTC's Pink Thing is deliberately ambiguous, as it could be Andy Partridge talking about his baby son, or well you can probably guess.
Anytime you rise, I'm here,
And I'm crazy for you pink thing.
You make me want to laugh,
You make me want to cry,
When I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high,
Pink thing.
I want to take you out and show you round the world,
Pink thing it'll be OK.
If I could only wake you from your slumber curled,
Pink thing what would straight folks say?
That man isn't fit to enter heaven.
That man is a sinner,
Ever burning in disgrace.
Pink thing, spit in my face,
I'd love you for it.
Anytime you call, I'll fall,
Into madness for you pink thing.
You make me want to live.
You make me want to die.
And when I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high,
Pink thing.
I want to take you out and show you to the girls,
Pink thing they're a whole new tribe.
If you could only see the way the way the gingham swirls,
Pink thing it's a whole new vibe.
That man isn't fit to be a father.
That man is a sinner,
'Fore they cast me down to die,
Pink thing, spit in my eye,
I'd love you for it.
Yes, I'd love you for it.
Anytime you rise, I'm here,
And I'm crazy for you pink thing.
You make me want to laugh,
You make me want to cry,
When I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high,
Pink thing.
Hundred heartbeats high,
Pink thing.
Hundred heartbeats high.
I want to introduce you,
Take you to the brink thing.
I want to introduce you,
Tell me what you think thing. I want to introduce you,
Make that missing link thing.
Don't you think it's time you met some female pink thing?
You make me want to laugh,
You make me want to cry,
So why is it I'm happy when there's tears down in your eye?

There seem to be a lot of songs about heroin!
So on that basis;
Cocaine by Eric Clapton - it's really about heroin4 -

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through' my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through' my vein
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No-one else could heal my pain
But I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains0 -

I saw them at Finsbury a few years ago and there were still lots of dodgy geezers, selling pills and legal highs.
