I saw one of the writers on TV explaing the idea behind the song - that playing music live is their life. So does every word make complete sense now?

Nicko Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 On the subject of Chris Rea, in Driving Home for Christmas he makes reference to the freeway, but as far as I know he's never lived in the US so he should have used the motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoulderpet Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Ok, well heres a few , starting with one that is both factually incorrect and a display of monumental lack of self awareness Jennifer Lopez - Jenny from the block I stayed grounded as the amounts roll in - Hmm yes because nothing says grounded like boasting about your wealth Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got , I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block - Of course because everyone from "the block" has personal assistants, and this would be the same person from "the block" whose staff are not allowed to make eye contact with her Puff Daddy feat. Mase - ‘Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down “Young, black and famous – with money hanging out the anus.”) Hmm why would you put your money in your anus? Taio Cruz ft. Pitbull - There She Goes There she goes looking like a star, With her body shaped like a rock guitar Err, her body is shaped like a guitar? I kind of doubt that Radiohead - Street Spirit (fade out) Cracked eggs, dead birds, Scream as they fight for life - Erm, if they are dead then how can they scream and fight for life?

TrevorR Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Given the inexorable rise of globalism and the movement of heavy industry to territories with lower wage costs it is looking unlikely that Nigel has much of a future in British Steel. And Stevie, your assertion in the early 80s that “peace has come to Zimbabwe” may have been a touch premature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
