Unexplainable adored lyrics
'time is like a broken watch, they make money like fred astaire'.
Interpol, take you on a cruise. Absolutely no idea why I love it but it always makes me smile and gives me a warm feeling all over.
Am I weird or do other people experience this?
It's
"Timeless like a broken watch"
Not that that makes it any clearer.
One of my favourit rhyming couplets
'Your face is pale like dough,
You leave me in woe'
...
"Loafing oafs in all night chemists,
Loafing oafs in all night chemists.."
inexplicably, always brings me joy.
Oh crap
at mis-hearing that lyric. Repeatedly. I'm terrible with lyrics. "Love. A reaction to some soft skin".
ps
I like that Mr JD. Where's it from?
'Woe'
by the Cannanes (1988)

The co-writer of 'Woe' - no longer in the Cannanes - has a myspace too; he's the legendary David Nichols

Ok
I'll check it out. I just clicked on your profile and you appear to have an OBSCENE amount of bands listed. Is music your oxygen?
No
I'm just old so the list gets longer
And you also repeat yourself in your old age
Where?
In your list
Some appear twice. Yannis Kyriakes being, for some reason, the one I noticed.
Fixed
The entire list was there twice
right...
But why have you only rated three groups on DiS?
That's
because of "technical issues"
Ahhhh
i see. I can't for the life of me suss out how to get my picture on my profile. Where's the darned 'help' page? :(
.
"Well we're just a wet dream for the webzines,
Make us it, make us hip, make us scene."
I don't adore it, but I haven't seen much about them in many webzines...
panic!
mm.
i cant see a lyric here that doesnt make sense
you, as jdt might say, are all stupid.
If David Byrne always makes sense to you
then your intellect must abound
i cant think of any of his lyrics
that dont make sense, no.
does this mean that i !WIN! at music?
also: you didnt thank me for sending you the DiS folk show. thats pretty impolite.
even stuff on SMS!
On the subject of Interpol
I've always loved the lyrics in "Not Even Jail" despite a lack of understanding of what, if anything, they're about.
Especially "we all hold hands, can we all hold friends when we make new friends"
PS I always thought it was "Time is like a broken watch" too!
I'm always lost in thought
as I walk a block to my favourite neon sign.
Most of interpol's lyrics
don't make much sense - maybe that's why I like the so much.
I like...
"Now that everybody's here
Could we please have your attention?
There is nothing left to fear
No now that bigfoot is captured"
My favourite Interpol lyric is Roland
"My best friends a butcher he has sixteen knives,
He carries them all over the town at least he tries."
And then randomly out of nowhere...
"Look its stopped snowing."
Genius
you are a past dinner
heavy.
Let's not
turn this into an Interpol thread, although I do adore them.
Lyric/band. Let's have them.
Who's in bunker, who's in bunker?
Women and children first
Women and children first
Women and children
I'll laugh until my head comes off
I swallow till I burst
Until I burst
Until I..
Who's in bunker, who's in bunker
I've seen too much
I haven't seen enough
You haven't seen enough
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
And children..
Here I'm allowed, everything all of the time
Here I'm allowed, everything all of the time
Ice age coming, ice age coming
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both..
Ice age coming, ice age coming
Throw me in the fire
Throw me in the fire
Throw me in the..
We're not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening
We're not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening
Mobiles working
Mobiles chirping
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money..
Here I'm allowed, everything all of the time
