    Absolutely, but this isn't one of those cases.

      Adele's Chasing Pavements has always irked me. Shouldn't it be chasing rainbows?

        Chasing Pavements always sounded like a polite way of saying that she was falling over while pissed. Like, "I see old Adele's fallen over on the way home from the pub - always chasing the pavement, that girl".

          I can't listen to Let Forever Be by The Chemical Brothers.

          How does it feel like?

          No. How does it feel? Or, what does it feel like?

            I have never knowingly heard the song and always assumed that was the idea.

              I read the lyrics though and the theme appears to be whether or not she should tell her beau that she loves him. Either that or it's about unrequited love.

              I can't find a drinking theme in there.

                I'm guessing that that was what pebble thought it 'sounded like', rather than suggesting that that's what it was actually about.

                I'm guessing that, because I thought similarly.

                  Aren't all Adele songs about that?

                    I always assumed chasing pavements just meant walking around aimlessly without the love she craves.

                      With any luck, she’ll have found something else to write about by the time she releases 43.

                        No matter where I roam
                        I will return to my English rose
                        For no bonds can ever tempt me from she

                        What was he thinking? So many similar alternatives, why come up with such ungrammatical bollocks? 'Keep her from me', perhaps?
