Yeah I heard it as "kiss me" at first, but it made no sense... then re-listened (and read the lyrics) and it makes more sense: "this me: 'yeah baby, and the rest....'"
LOL!!! Was gonna say am sure most people on the forum would know came, come (cum)... orgasm... but hell maybe that's just me!

Likkle carpet burn, urm maybe it's me again, but that made sense

Is it - "then you know this likkle carpet burn..." or is it "then you notice likkle carpet burns...." pretty much same difference really, but was wondering really... yeah it makes no real difference, you know this little carpet burn isn't from being with you, and you notice I have carpet burns (again not from you is implied....) meh

Five storey fire.... never got that... just assumed it was like their love is so great and burns so much it's up to the fifth storey already.... blah too much Absinthe too make much sense!

[wrougs]

the "five story fire as you came" line I have always interpreted as she was seeing a number of guys back when she hadn't met blake
and when blake came into her sight, she couldn't help but end all stories with other guys (fire as ended)
also "fire" means the love she had for blake,as a contrast to she only as a flame in blake's heart

as in b2b,"and I tread a troubled track" i thought she meant in two ways:1.she is walking through a troubled path and 2.that's why "back to black" is a troubled "track"

amy is extremely good with words that transcended the meaning itself
and she often plays with them ,like "Not even in the evening", "Its got me addicted ,does more than any dick did"--simply brilliant!

as for wake up alone, i am quite sure she said" If I was my heart"
i think she deliberately used a lot of terms that referred to water,as a tribute to The Beach Boys"Lonely Sea"

i love all lyrics from amy,really poetic and refined
she's sensitive,shy,bold,clever,insecure,humourous,dark,playful,subtle,a conflicted person
from that--you can just tell she could be a great novelist
if she couldn't sing, I will buy every shit she writes

The album Frank is named that for what reason, her honesty, or a guy ?

[manic_blue]

Thanks... how's you discover that? I always wondered....

In honor of Frank Sinatra

Yes, but it's about her honesty as well? I can remember she said in an interview: 'I'm just being frank and direct about stuff and not really giving a shit about what people might think'. (or something like that)

[crol]

plus i thought it was also named after her dog with her boyfriend at the time, who in turn was also named after mr sinatra

i think it perfectly summarises the record, and back to black also is perfect for that record.

any suggestions as to the next records title?!

[sarahbol]

Yes, but it's about her honesty as well? I can remember she said in an interview: 'I'm just being frank and direct about stuff and not really giving a shit about what people might think'. (or something like that)

Yes.

Actually I heard her say it was just about being frank and not really Frank Sinatra, but then in another interview she said that it was in honor or Frank Sinatra.

i thought pipe was reference to a crack pipe?

[sarahbol]

lol, no.
That's what some tabloids made of it.

[WinehouseFAN08]

I thought that the rolling meant that she (the penny) was out of control, just rolling around aimlessly?

Thats what I thought it was aswell,,!
Hmmm,, we should write to her asking what all these things mean loll,,! I bet she's be happy to explain

i was watching a concert she did recently,
i think it was oxygen or t in the park,
and she sang "and life ain't gonna be a pipe"
like she says like if isn't going to be a crack pipe anymore,
that was really good to hear.

Fingers crossed. That would be terrific if she could hang on for that difficult ride back to being clean.
