Whats it all about ?

[gilf]

An earlier question reminded me of a question I was going to ask. Most of the time the meanings of songs are lost on me, for example the Madness song house of fun is all about buying condoms. Does anybody else know any other songs famous with deeper meanings.

Golden Brown (Stranglers) all about Heroin!

[Nelli]

And that Ian Drury one "Hit me with your rythm stick" all about injecting drugs!

[Nelli]

...do you see a pattern forming here

[sft42]

Violent Femmes - Blisters in the Sun (masterbation)....and nearly any Lou Reed song will be about drugs somewhere!

[treaclefight]

mr tambourine man, bob dylan, drugs. trying to think of something that isnt drugs related....

[gilf]

Knew about Golden Brown but did know about hit me with rythum stick.

[Numbers]

Turning Japanese - The Vapors. Masturbation again I'm afraid.

[Lennon]

Non drug related - Paul Simon 'Call me Al' was apparently when Paul was in a restaurant and some bloke kept calling him Al all night by mistake - I think the bloke was a bit worse for wear.

[katiesara]

another drugs one - "there she goes" by the la's, is about heroin, and once you know it, it seems so obvious!

[gilf]

Yeah that seems to be the way, once you know what its about its really really obvious, like There She Goes, I never really thought about the line racing through my vains but now it all makes sense.
