About Lyrics and Batman Theme by The Jam

When you decide to study the lyrics to Batman Theme, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1977 song by The Jam. Some of the lyrics to Batman Theme have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only The Jam and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Batman Theme if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Batman Theme" means the words set to the music of Batman Theme, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Jam. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Batman Theme and the lyrics to Batman Theme are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of The Jam who came here looking just for the lyrics to Batman Theme, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
