It's a cold, grey and quite miserable afternoon in North Chelsea when I sit down at the wrought-iron table outside the Edgar Allen Poe House de Caf und Brot. The waiter brings me cold Turkish coffee in a half-skull. A long black limousine ponderously settles in across the way, and an Asian chauffeur of indeterminate age and gender hops out, swinging wide the back door, from which he emerges. Late, by half an hour, of course. It's been said of Peter Murphy many things, but subtle can't be counted among them. He drapes not one, but two black coats across the back of his chair before settling his enormous girth into view. Taking a clove cigarette from an embossed obsidian case, he begins to speak in lush, wine-flavored tones. "I's about puttin it in 'er bum, innit" he intones gracefully. "If you'd grew up running wif the Chelsea Street Goth Boys, you'd know the sayin'. She's up-arsey, we'd say. Meanin' she favors it up the register, you understand. That's why I sing, "It's in the can". Changed the name, but. Didn't want to be too cheeky, if you get my biscuit."

I’ve always really like the song “ A Day in the Life” by the Beatles and learning that it’s subject matter basically pulled together from random news articles, while thematic, was disappointing

""Breakfast can wait" is about that basketball game I had with Charlie Murphy and how we prioritized over pancakes even though his chump rear end can't ball. *laughs* Love you Charlie!"

I'm not reading all that op. Does it explain what, in the song 'Backstreet's Back', the Backstreet Boys were back FROM? Had they gone missing? Were they on an adventure to fight crime? Where were the Backstreet Boys, that they had to announce coming back?

It was after a gig in Boston in, I think, '91 or '92. I was walking around backstage barefoot, because I'd be on my feet all day, and some careless person had a left a plug out sitting in the middle of the floor. Well of course I trod right on it and then I said to Chris (who was sitting there laughing his rear end off) "Ow that hurt!" Well, sometimes that's all it takes. I wrote the song that night.

Jane can't stop misbehaving, which, presumably, is what her addiction is

We were over at Dave's place one night and he'd just gotten this new strobe light. Well we plugged it and turned it on then 30 seconds later Krist is sprawled out on the floor having some kind of seizure. I was sitting right next to it so I switch the thing off and immediately Krist comes out of it. The first thing out of his mouth is "Wow that light is really dangerous." Sometimes that's all it takes. I wrote the song that night.

Well you see George came in and he had this terrible breath, I was telling him 'get back, get back' and John comes over and strums that old A chord and there we were back on top of the charts.

I was hangin' out with Dave and a few friends back in '91 and we were playing the first Sonic game, it'd just come out (that's how I remember what year it was, I base all my time now on that poo poo it seems like). Anyway, the phone starts ringing and Dave's house had a phone in the basement and I'm sittin' next to it so I grab it and say "Hello?" And I'm pretty ripped, ok? So I'm sorta half talking into the phone and sprawled on the chair mumblin and laughin. And the guy says 'Yo what up', and I said 'We're playin Sonic at Dave's house you wanna come by bro?" And he says "I dunno man I just got done at work and I'm lovely and Dave's mom get's mad what's he say?" So I shout over to him to ask him, and then pick the phone back up and say "Yo, Kurt. Dave says, 'Never Mind. Come as you are.'" And so he did, and I guess that was that, you know?

I don't know if we're supposed to post true ones but Tutti Fruity by Little Richard was about originally buttfucking. Obviously you couldn't make a song about hot man-on-man action in the 50s. Especially if you were a black guy, so they changed some of the lyrics when it was recorded. This is what he sang when he was performing it in clubs and such:quote:Tutti Frutti, good booty Also the word "goddamn" was in there somewhere.
