For the life of me, I never understood the lyrics to Broken Arrow. I know it's a love song, but beyond that, I'm lost.

Does anyone have a song where the lyrics confuse them? I was thinking that maybe we could solve song lyrics for each other.

Broken Arrow
Rod Stewart

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around

Do you feel what I feel
Can we make it so that’s part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
"lay your heart on the line this time

I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Didn’t you show me a sign this time

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around’ around

Do you feel what I feel
Do you feel what I feel
Ah can you see what I see
Can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree
"leave the whole world behind

I want to come when you call
I’ll get to you if I have to crawl
They can’t hold me with these iron walls
We got mountains to climb’ to climb

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around

Then, there's that 'Someone left the cake out in the rain' brain teaser. :confused:

Jumping Jack Flash by The Rolling Stones. I listened to it like 5 times and couldn't get the lyrics until I read them.

There's also Louie Louie by the Kingsmen.

I'm not sure what that song means either! All I do know that it is supposed to be about the environment. This song came out in the Summer of 1968 right after I graduated from high school and it reminds me of the days that my husband and I were dating. So I like it! Brings back such good memories! :D

I know! It's "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris. I know another confusing lyric. It was "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5.

"Rio" is supposed to be a love letter to the US.

By the way, who was the woman in the "Hungry Like The Wolf" video? Just curious. :D

Another confusing song lyric - "Lady Grinning Soul's cool canasta" from David Bowie's "Lady Grinning Soul."
