You're way on top now
Since you left me You're always laughin' Way down at me But watch out now I'm gonna get there We'll be together For just a little while And then I'm gonna put you Way down here And you'll start cryin' Ninety-six tears Cry Cry I had a friend who was absolutely convinced that the implication in this song was that he was going to rape her for breaking up with him. |
This is a little tangent here, but how about that commercial for that Lincoln using Space Oddity (Major Tom) as the music? I like this commercial, mainly because of the music. It must be targeted at people like me, if I like it. But did it occur to any of the geniuses who put the commercial together that the song goes on to talk about how Major Tom dies is his rocket?
Ground control to major tom Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong Can you hear me, Major Tom? Do they really want me to have that association in my mind when the commercial is ending? Lincoln, will leave you stranded in isolation to die a slow lonely death. |

Oh I always thought it was grim. Which is why I like it, like most of the "The Stone Roses" stuff. Sounds sweet right? Well. No. It's really not. I love tons of music that sounds sweet but is actually quite nasty if you listen to it. I mean, how dirty is My Bloody Valentine in all their songs? It sounds like a bunch guitars and a sweet girl or guy making a noise. Those guys are dirrrty birds. Dirty!! Some people would never know what they were trying to hum. |

In the spirit of the holidays:
Now this song sounds really nice and sensitive. But the main chorus line, "I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can" bothers me. First of all, you don't care about my method of transport and all the surrounding circumstances, but then you say, just get here (sounds resolved and good right?), and then qualify it with something flippant like: if you can... The song sounds dramatic and full of longing. But I can't handle the apparent lack of care, and then the disclaimer after such a demand. If you took the lyrics out of the dramatic appeal of the song, wouldn't that sound like someone who really doesn't give a flying flip if you are there or not? I don't care how you get here, just do it if you can, mmm'kay? |
I like Brenda Russell singing that song better. She wrote it. I just never cared for Oleta singing it...but maybe because I heard it first on a Brenda Russell album.
Don't know if there's a good youtubey version as I don't have sound. :) |

And I don't know if I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again" - it's only a cake mate. |
Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer
Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm drivin' by your house Though I know you're not at home But I can see you - Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream? Now I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of I can see you - Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac A little voice inside my head said, "don't look back. you can never look back." I thought I knew what love was What did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but - I can see you - Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I can see you - Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone -------------- Yup, he's a stalker. |
... But now you make me feel so ashamed because I've only got two hands...

Delia's Gone by Johnny Cash Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life If I hadn't a-shot poor Delia I'd have had her for my wife Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone I went up to Memphis And I met Delia there I found her in her parlor And I tied her to her chair Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone She was low down and trifling And she was cold and mean Kind of evil make me want To grab my sub machine Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone First time I shot her I shot her in the side Hard to watch her suffer But with the second shot she died Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone But jailer, oh, jailer Jailer I can't sleep 'Cause all around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia's feet Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone So if you woman's devilish You can let her run Or you can bring her down and do her like Delia got done Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone Cash had some dark stuff... |
