You know, I'm actually listening to this album as I type this, so I can't hate the song THAT bad, but this song (called "Home) was a low-point in Roger Waters' otherwise thought-provoking songwriting career. I've put the most questionable parts in bold:quote:Could be Jerusalem, or it could be Cairo

The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become Best line for two reasons: 1) Simile where they compare a mountain to a different loving mountain 2) Has like twice as many syllables as every other line so they have to sing it super fast making how lovely it is even more obvious

have you ever read any classical greek literature translated into english? apparently the greeks were huge on rhyming couplets, so the literary gymnastics the translators have to do to preserve rhyme and meter is an unenjoyable shitshow

It was a rainy night when he came into sight Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night All I want to do is make love to you Say you will you want me too All I want to do is make love to you I've got lovin' arms to hold on to So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well We made magic that night. Oh, he did everything right He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note I told him I am the flower you are the seed We walked in the garden we planted a tree Don't try to find me, please don't you dare Just live in my memory, you'll always be there All I want to do is make love to you One night of love was all we knew All want to do is make love to you I've got lovin' arms to hold on to Oh, oooh, we made love Love like strangers All night long We made love Then it happened one day, we came round the same way You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes I said please, please understand I'm in love with another man And what he couldn't give me was the one little thing that you can All I want to do is make love to you One night of love was all we knew All I want to do is make love to you Come on, say you will, you want me too All I want to do is make love to you One night of love was all we knew All I want to do is make love to you Say you will, you want me too All night long...

It feels like shooting fish in a barrel picking on Bjork, but Hyperballad. We live on a mountain, right at the top There's a beautiful view from the top of the mountain Every morning I walk towards the edge and throw little things off Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery or whatever I find lying around It's become a habit a way to start the day I go through all this before you wake up So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you It's real early morning, no-one is awake I'm back at my cliff still throwing things off I listen to the sounds they make on their way down I follow with my eyes 'til they crash Imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks And when it lands will my eyes be closed or open? Also, I love the song and all but I Am, I Said has some pretty embarrassing lyrics. Did you ever read about the frog who dreamed of being a king? And then became one? Well except for the name and a few other changes The story's the same one cmndstab fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Sep 29, 2016 |

I've always thought "All You Need Is Love" is possibly the dumbest load of horse poo poo ever, but the song is catchy, I guess. I just imagine going into a cancer ward and blasting that song full volume as the cells metastasize and the organs fail and suddenly the blood-stained vomit on the lips of bald children clinging to their lives of needles and tubes turns to rainbows and we all hold hands and everything is all right.

Donovan, the man who brought you awesome 60's psychedelia such as "Mellow Yellow", "Hurdy Gurdy Man", and "Season of the Witch", checks in with this blinding masterpiece for the ages. There Is A Mountain The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is. The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. The caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within. Caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain. Oh Juanita, oh Juanita, oh Juanita, I call your name. Oh, the snow will be a blinding sight to see as it lies on yonder hillside. The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is. The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is. Caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within. Caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within. Ah, my-my. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. First there is a mountain(end)

America by Robyn Hitchcock. I gave America my blood and she drank it gratefully I told America her weight and she said you'd wait for me All of me Someone like you impresses my head Maybe it's true I'm not totally dead This is goodbye, yeah, I've said it before This time you're not gonna see me no more, well I gave America her head and she fired it at me I gave America her mouth and she turned it on to me I gave America her heart and it's beating over me I gave America her gold and she melted over me Unretrofied by Dillenger Escape Plan. Is the can half diseased or is the disease half canned And is the man half machine or is the machine half man I'm unretrofied for you so come on so come on I'll just fake it in the end Just save it for a new song and leave dead in the end Time is wasted in the end Wood paneled wagon carpool dragons killing me again, we're all dead Jesus can't play the music 'cause he's nailed to the cross! cmndstab fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Sep 29, 2016 |
