    a few lyrics explanations

    stella is a beer ?

    roger moore is a magazine editor that write bad *** about her?

    chipps & pitta , is that like a bag of chips and pita bread?

    Mr. Hathaway refering to donnie hathaway?

    obviously in "back to black"  and also in "rehab" she refers to being black, does that just mean that shes in a bad place at the time or a sad time or something?

     

    Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard....what does she mean by heard?   does she mean theres a bunch of people at the bar? like a herd?

     

     thanks

    Re: a few lyrics explanations

    Great idea for a Forum - good job! As a USA man, I don't know what some of her lyrics mean. It's good that American English isn't used - we're not the center of the Universe. In "Valerie" does she sing? ---> "Hope you didn't catch a ten; Hope you found the right man; Who'll fix it for you." > What's a ten? Why does it need to be fixed? ;-)

    Re: a few lyrics explanations

    well if what I heard about 'Valerie' being a friend of the lead singer's who was caught drunk driving maybe the 'hope you didnt catch a ten. Hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you' means he hopes she didn't catch a ten year sentence in prison and if so, hopefully there'll be someone who can fix it.

     Course this is all purely speculation lol!

    Yours makes the most sense of anything written so far. Someone actually wrote to explain to me what a (beach) TAN is. Duh. Thx 4 your post - I'm satisfied w/ that.

    Roger Moore played in  the Bond movies. So basically he's a tough guy. Mr. Hathway...yes, I think she means Donnie Hathaway too =]

    Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt....because his sleeves are rolled up of his skull T-Shirt. He has to hunt her down cause she's with other men.

    amy love:

    what does she mean in the song rehab: yes i've been black but when a'll come back ...

    I'm guessing, but think it can mean 2 things: > She's been "black" meaning down-in-the-dumps, depressed. > Or, she was in a BLACK -OUT. I was an alcoholic and many times I was fully functioning = talking, dancing.... but I was in a black-out. I didn't remember one thing I said or did during the black-out. The worst part is after a party, when OTHER people tell you what a jerk you were, while you were blacked-out. She may be saying, "Yes, I've blacked out, but when I come back.....so what?" > Blacking-out doesn't always mean that you pass out, unconscious. That's why it's so dangerous to drive during a black-out.

    Re: a few lyrics explanations

    She means that she is in a bad place being black and actually going to a rehab means something bad aka black But she hopes to recover and that is when she comes back :) BTW Does anybody know what she means in You Know I'm No Good when she says, "hand me your stella and fly"??? Fly????????????? Does she mean a blowjob??

    Roger Moore refers to the actor who played james bond once

    Yes she asks him to give her chips and pitta which is a pitta bread filled with chips as in potatoe chips... the cooked ones

    Being black refers to the depression she felt wen blake was gone...

    Mr.Hathaway is indeed the Donny Hathaway

    And it's meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt as in she is hurt by the way she is decieving him
