I liked "No Shelter" a lot but couldn't get motivated enough to buy the Godzilla soundtrack and I can't find the lyrics anywhere online. *sigh* You'll just have to take my word for it. But "Revolver" is really good, it's just too bad that Zack is so mad that he doesn't enunciate for shit, so the only way I can figure out what he's saying is to go to lyric sites. Still. It's good. And it makes me want to pick a fight, which is, I guess, the point. Revolver Rage Against the Machine His spit is worth more than her work Pass tha purse to the pugilists He's a prizefighter He bought rings and he owns kin And now he's swingin' And now he's the champion Hey revolver, don't mothers make Good fathers ? Revolver A spotless domain Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more Pictures of fields without fences Her body numbs as he approaches the door Hey revolver, don't mothers make Good fathers ? Revolver Now that's music that comes out of anger that I don't have to think about to get angry over. So I guess in a lot of instances it's idealism that can get to me and set me off. But here's a song I stumbled across some six years ago. I was at the Virgin Megastore on Picadilly Circus wasting time because I was going to go see Miss Saigon and didn't really have time to duck into a nearby museum. I had meant to get some singles that were only available here (the U.S. as imports) so I was scouring Tori, Bjork and PJ HArvey. I found a single on the cover of which PJ was kissing this man. Apparently the man is Nick Cave and CD had be placed under PJ Harvey rather than Nick Cave. Of course it only has three songs on it and the title track features PJ Harvey on lead vocal. It's really a neat song about "hell hath no fury...." and the rest of the Cd is neat too. For reasons I don't understand I haven't gone out to get the whole Murder Ballads album though I've been repeatedly told I'd like Nick Cave. Henry Lee Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds with PJ Harvey Get down, get down, little Henry Lee And stay all night with me You won't find a girl in this damn world That will compare with me And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee I can't get down and I won't get down And stay all night with thee For the girl I have in that merry green land I love far better than thee And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee She leaned herself against a fence Just for a kiss or two And with a little pen-knife held in her hand She plugged him through and through And the wind did roar and the wind did moan La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee Come take him by his lilly-white hands Come take him by his feet And throw him in this deep deep well Which is more than one hundred feet And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee Till the flesh drops from your bones For the girl you have in that merry green land Can wait forever for you to come home And the wind did howl and the wind did moan La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee Obvious Answers: Tori Amos: either Me and a Gun or '97 Bonnie and Clyde They Might be Giants: Kiss me Son of God Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
