Song meanings

[dangermows]

This one's been mentioned before. But. Got talking to someone in a pub earlier who'd never heard the song. Having listened they are convinced it's about a woman. I'm still in the gang that thinks it's about whisky.

Any other tremendously moving choons where the meaning is up for grabs/debate?

 

[Harry Gates]

Nothing Compares 2U is about stopping smoking

Waterloo Sunset.
Was it about Terry and Julie finding love or were they tripping on mandax.

 

[Guinness Guzzler]

Seem to remember there was some debate about that Uncle Kracker song Follow Me. Lots said it was about a lad being the best boyfriend for a lass but others said it was about heroin

How's that work?

Well, it seems to be about a lost love then later on the reference to the Ginger Lady which is probably whisky.
Could be wrong though.

First glance, you'd think it's about a pub kicking out.

Look deeper. It's about childbirth, or at least some of it is
