Favorite Songs: 134-130

134. "Suedehead" by Morrissey (Viva Hate)The lyrics to this song are pretty evil, when you really think about it. Basically it's about an ex lover feeling jilted and still hanging around. The "I'm so sorry" apology is supposed to be sarcastic, I think. Especially when you look at the last, oh, third of the song or so, just saying "it was a good lay" over and over. I dunno. Could be wrong.
Line: "You had to sneak into my room just to read my diary. It was just to see just to see all the things you knew I'd written about you."




133. "I'm Burning" by Jesus Jones (Doubt)
Sandwiched on Jesus Jones' most popular album, between their two most popular songs ("International Bright Young Thing" and "Right Here, Right Now") is one of their best songs. Another jilted lover song, to an extent, but not anywhere near as bitter and sarcastic as "Suedehead." Just a really pretty song.
Line: "So when I cried, where were you? You knw I cried. I saw you."



132. "Numb" by U2 (Zooropa)
Zooropa is probably one of the 2 most underrated U2 albums ever, along with Pop. God forbid a band tries to change its sound and do something different! Coming off the heels of Achtung Baby, well, they really only had 2 choices. Make the same album again, or go down a completely different path. I'm glad they chose the latter. This is one of the few songs in general, and the only single that I can think of, that The Edge sings instead of Bono. Good beat, and the monotone delivery of the lyrics is very fitting to the theme of being numb to everything around.
Line: "Don't move don't talk out of time don't think don't worry everything's just fine. Just fine."



131. "Stigmata" by Ministry (The Land Of Rape and Honey)
When I was talking about Front 242 having the second most aggressive song on this list, this is the song I was referring to as being the most aggressive. From the openeing (synthesized) cymbal beats to the closing grating guitars, it's just a song about pure hate. Love it when I'm in a bad mood.
Line: "Cutting my face, and walking on splinters. I lost my soul to the look in your eyes."



130. "Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles (Revolver)
And we'll go to the opposite end of the spectrum now. Obviously there had to be a couple Beatles songs on here. (Actually I think there may only be 1 more. Not sure.) Another quick song clocking in right around 2 minutes, this is by far one of my top 3 Beatles songs. Probably always will be. The video I chose to use for this is someone's claymation art. Doesn't go with the song at all, I just thought it was really cool.
Line: "All the lonely people. Where do they all come from?"
