"dummies" would be me. seriously. i've been listening to them for a while but i still don't understand some parts of their songs. no i'm not stupid. it's just not my mother tongue and i still can speak english better than most people i know. anyway.
i have a lot of questions, i hope someone answers. please? first question. in love me do, when he says i'll always be true. does it mean that he'll always be honest or that he'll always be there for her? [or something else, maybe?] OK, you can laugh if you find this funny but i seriously want to know. i'd appreciate any help.
This is a good question blackmath . English is a funny old language , with one word often having several meanings . I'm an English speaker and i sometimes find it difficulte , i think the use of true in this case is like true love , and not true in the sense of honest .
thank you so much dave. i know how hard it can be. i try to use dictionaries anytime i can but sometimes there are some stuff that i can't understand because i don't speak english in my daily life. [i'll be asking more questions in the future, i have a lot of them.]
I think as English speaker's we take for granted that these songs will be understood by everyone . I've never even thought that people would have to use an English dictionary to understand the lyrics , that sounds like home work . But now we have this thread you can ask and one of us should be able to help you blackmath. Were are you from ? i'm from England
home work? believe me, i use dictionary everyday to understand things all over the net. well not everyday now, but i used to do it two years ago. i'm really much better now. and i know almost all of the words they use in their songs [especially their early songs, haha] but sometimes they use phrases i've never heard before, what am i supposed to do then? another example.i have no idea what roll over beethoven means. i just imagine poor beethoven rolling on the floor. but it probably means something else. i'm half turkish and half persian.
I've always interpreted as meaning he'll always be faithful to her. He's reassuring her that she's the one. He found "someone to love." Cuz really, he's begging her to give him a chance. Just my take on it.
Love, love me do. You know I love you, I'll always be true, So please, love me do. Whoa, love me do.
I think Roll Over Beethoven means "He will be rolling in his grave " , Rock 'n' Roll would be a shock too Beethoven so he would be rolling in his grave with the wild sound It's quite a funny image , mind you so is Beethoven rolling around on the floor

I thought Chuck meant for Beethoven's record to "roll over" off the needle so that the Rock and Roll Record could be on the table.
I`ll always be true means i won`t look at any other girl and will stay faithful to you, love only you. Roll over B. means turning in his grave, being disturbed from the eternal sleep. You are right! I ve got a question: What is funny papers? And why funny papers?
