    Anyone know any well known songs that made the charts with it's controversial lyrics and what there meanings were.

    One that i recently came across was from Elvis Costello for Olivers Army...

    The verse went;

    Only takes one itchy trigger, one more widow, one less white ******

    The song made in the 70's i believe was an anti war song and that verse meant, quote;

    Referring to the Irish, as they have historically been oppressed by the English, much as black people have been oppressed in many countries. Costello is himself of Irish descent.

    Another one from EC...

    Margaret was her madam
    And the future looked as bright and as clear as
    The black tarmacadam"
