Lloyd Cole (b. 31st January 1961) is an English rock/pop singer and songwriter, though he formed his first band in Scotland and is currently based in the USA. He first emerged as the lead singer of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, who formed in Glasgow in 1982 and had four top twenty albums in the UK between 1984 and 1989. The other members were Blair Cowan (keyboards), Lawrence Donegan (bass), Neil Clark (guitar), and Stephen Irvine (drums).Cole then went solo, and has recorded a dozen albums as of 2023. The Commotions briefly reformed in 2004 to mark the 20th anniversary of their first album, Rattlesnakes, but this was never intended to be permanent. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Lloyd Cole (Music) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: "Forest Fire" concludes that its own title "is just a simple metaphor for a burning love." | |

Ode to Intoxication | |
| Lloyd Cole (Music) / int_2f551929 | comment |
Ode to Intoxication: "My Bag" appeared to be such to a cocaine high, though Lawrence Donegan maintained that the guy in the song is an idiot when interviewed in 1987. | |

Liar's Paradox | |
| Lloyd Cole (Music) / int_38eb584d | comment |
Liar's Paradox: "Opposites Day" has the two-sentence variant ("The next line is the truth| The last line was a lie" and later "The next line is a lie|This one is the truth"), both being equivalent to the standard paradox. | |

Wide-Eyed Idealist | |
| Lloyd Cole (Music) / int_3ed17fe0 | comment |
Wide-Eyed Idealist: The singer of "Are You Ready to be Heartbroken?" clearly thinks that the person being addressed is dangerously naive — hence the title question. | |

The Casanova | |
| Lloyd Cole (Music) / int_5e2e55e4 | comment |
The Casanova: The target/subject of "Down On Mission Street" is a cold-hearted seducer who has just hurt his latest girl — though apparently, she initially picked him up. | |

| Lloyd Cole (Music) / int_872b9e12 | comment |
Chained to a Railway: In "Brand New Friend", the dysfunctional pair "swore and lied that we'd tie ourself to the railway line", but they were all mouth. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Lloyd Cole (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Cole is very prone to shout-outs and specific cultural references. For example: "Rattlesnakes" uses a little name-dropping to establish something about the woman it describes: "Perfect Skin" uses references both descriptively and to establish character: "Andy's Babies" is about the Velvet Underground. "The Idiot" is clearly about David Bowie and Iggy Pop and their Berlin period. | |

Happily Failed Suicide | |
| Lloyd Cole (Music) / int_d9587b39 | comment |
Happily Failed Suicide: "Minor Character" depicts a very undecided girl — she threatens to throw herself from a bridge, but is laughed out of it. Cutting her wrists is also just an announcement. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Lloyd Cole (Music) / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: Possibly the point of "I Hate To See You Doing That Stuff", though what "That Stuff" might be remains unstated. "The Idiot" depicts the time spent by David Bowie and Iggy Pop in Berlin as an attempt to "Stop being drug addicts", and asks (from their point of view) "How are we still alive?" | |
