Edenwendy edenwendy: Battles reveal 'Atlas' lyrics

*raises hand*

Mental ace monster of a tune regardless.

you fucking suck.

I did think it was 'sing this hook'.

'sing this chord'...

'PHINEAS FOGG, OH-WEE-OH'. hah.

And if they can't do it why the fuck don't they get someone from outside the band who can write lyrics to do it for 'em?

I get them confused with someone else and forget which one I've listened to.

Not sure what that has to do with my point that the above lyrics are shite though.

But they could at least make an effort. Or have refused all requests to ever release the lyrics ever.

Whether or not lyrics are essential to Battles, this is an article on Battles lyrics. And, as is the custom on DiS, one with rooom for me to comment at the bottom. The only comment I have to offer is my general frustation at how awful the majority of bands' lyrics seem to be and, as that comment has relevance to the above article, I think it entirely reasonable that I wrote it.

But given it's an article about Battles' lyrics you don't. Basically.

I was hoping against hope it was people will be people when they hear this sandwich. Time to change my profile.

If so you'll note it is about the lyrics. So I'm right and you're wrong.

And yes, I am right on this entirely subjective matter. You accidentally put a question mark at the end of that sentence, by the way.

He was asked what they were.

As you say, the lyrics probaby weren't meant to be heard or paid any particular attention.

So why the fuck is this a news story?

That question mark was utterly correct.

The question mark wich was wrong was the one you put at the end of"You're right about the entirely subjective matter of the quality of the lyrics". That needed a full stop, not a queston mark.

you 100% solid gold fact can NOT judge the quality of lyrics from seeing them written down.
they are NOT poetry. they are sounds, and its fucking bullshit to look at them as text on a screen and say that they're crap.

I used to think it had something to do with sandwiches. Also used to think it was 'sister on the poppers' rather than 'scissors are the barbers'.

It's a question. It's OBVIOUSLY a question.

;)

Are amazing. Lyrics are completly unimportant with them. Youre a bellend.

as such at DiS.

We just relay things we think people will find interesting and can imagine talking about down the pub or whatever.

Clearly, this is one such 'thing'.

but all you're saying is true

i think paul is having a silly day

SILLY PAUL

I've been making crap up for months.

There's lots of bellends on the internets.

'evil in the, evil in the evening standard' to me. <3

i listened to the song, while reading the lyrics.

it's ruined for me now. i can never enjoy it again.

bollocks bollocks BOLLOCKS. i hate you all.

She could be directed to 'Windy Miller' by the splendid Dawn of the Replicants which does indeed include said Windy Miller in the lyrics?

Single rays of cook

is how erudite all internet-based discussions should be.
