Joni Mitchell - Black Crow

There’s a crow flying
Black and ragged
Tree to tree
He’s black as the highway that’s leading me
Now he’s diving down
To pick up on something shiny
I feel like that black crow
Flying
In a blue sky
I took a ferry to the highway
Then I drove to a pontoon plane
I took a plane to a taxi
And a taxi to a train
I’ve been traveling so long
How’m I ever going to know my home
When I see it again
I’m like a black crow flying
In a blue, blue sky
In search of love and music
My whole life has been
Illumination
Corruption
And diving, diving, diving, diving.
Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing
Just like that black crow flying
In a blue sky
I looked at the morning
After being up all night
I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light
I looked out the window
And I saw that ragged soul take flight
I saw a back crow flying
In a blue sky
Oh I’m like a black crow flying
In a blue sky

ummmmmmm....
I was just wondering....
do you like me?

Use just once and destroy
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Starve without your skeleton key

I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'ed with ciggarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns

What is what i need
What is wrong with me
What is what i need

i'm gonna do with what you think
If you ever think at all
Bi-polar opposites attract
All of a sudden my water broke

I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'ed with ciggarette burns
Second-rate third degree burns

what is what i need
What is wrong with me
What do I think I think

hate your enemies
Save, save your friends
Find, find your place
Speak, speak the truth

what is what i need
What is wrong with me
what is what i need
What do I think I think

Use just once and destroy
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Starve without your skeleton key


What is wrong with me
what is what i need (x2)
What do I think i think

What is wrong with me
what is what i need (x2)
What do I think i think

Throbbing Gristle - Discipline says it all for me. As does Come with me by Special D.

"WE WANT. DISCIPLINE..."

"The Moon" by the Microphones

"and you held my hand
you almost got to start feeling me
I finally felt like I was breathing free"

"I went back to feel alone there
I went back there by myself
I gave up on everything that we had felt"

"there is nothing left except certain death
and that was comforting under the moon"

"I went out last night to forget that
I went out and stared it down
but the moon just stared back at me
and in its light I saw my two feet on the ground"

It's quite an emotional song.
I just posted a couple of the lyrics, but the whole song blows my mind.

well, let;s just say they can both be tied to the same girl, pretty much. One for being in love, and two for leaving and coming back and feeling like an asshole, although my intent was/is alright... I just feel like i'm doing more damage than good right (and I can't find an easy way to solve it yet).
Also the first three lines in total peace ( All I need is one true friend/I want total peace of mind/To leave the hurting world behind) is part of my worldview, or at least my love view.

The intro lines to Beck's "Atmospheric Conditions" are always great to sing along to, especially with Calvin Johnson's deep voice. Unity in hopelessness:

"There's nobody
There's no mountain
There's no tunnel
You can't get from there to here
You can't get from here to there..."

Another Beck track, "Ramshackle", the closer to Odelay, I really get into. He's like a friend in the room on this song, especially in these lines:

"Your train's in the sand
Ramshackle land
Let the rats watch the races
We will go
Nowhere we know
'Til we find our one and all"

I love Beck's lyrics, really. I feel bad for saying this on SY's corporate site, but yeah. "Drink mah coffee with a hubcap... yeah".

Im a pretty cold person, and never really connect with anything. I think its stupid to have meaningful lyrics in a song, its more interesting to express no emotion at all. I wish I was a robot so I wouldnt have to think about this.

"Let the eagle soar,
Like she’s never soared before.
From rocky coast to golden shore,
Let the mighty eagle soar.
Soar with healing in her wings,
As the land beneath her sings:
'Only god, no other kings.'
This country’s far too young to die.
We’ve still got a lot of climbing to do,
And we can make it if we try.
Built by toils and struggles
God has led us through."

My Cat says eeeee-ack
Hit the North
95% of [hayseeds or corn-pone], guaranteed
Computers infest the hotels
Cops can't catch criminals
But what the heck, they're not too bad, they talk to God

Religioussssss
Hit the North
Manacled to the city, manacled to the city
All estate agents alive yell down nights in hysterical breath
Those Northern lights... so pretty
Those big big big wide streets
Those useless MPs
Savages...
Hit the North (Manacled to the system)

From the back third eye psyche, the reflected mirror of delirium,
Eastender and Victoria's lager, the induced call, mysterious,
comes
forth - Hit the North
(Savages)
Hit the North

Glice 04.18.2006 05:37 AM

You forgot the synth part... pretty quintessential to the song if you ask me - Dunk dunk dunk dunkDUNK. (doo)

This is the Fall song that most frequently passes my brain:

tight faded male arse
Decadence and Anarchy
He said, he smiled
Something to dance to
A certain style
SMILE
SMILE
SMILE
SMILE
Meat Animals
SMILED
SMILED
Patchwork jacket from the top of his ears
Shaved
Relation with fellow age group, and opposite birds
SMILES
Wants anarchy
SMILED
The club nerve and poses
Physical awareness
Smiles
Take the chicken run, take the chicken run
To the toilet
In the above, designed from above club
Makes ginger
"Go on, you can do it!"
SMILE
SMILES
Wants anarchy
SMILED
Is the fungus damp in the cellar?
Positive G.B.H.
SMILES
With his friends, ask for cigarettes
SMILES
Sparks off
Repeal gun laws in my brain
Sparks off
Give us a gun if I got one
DAMN!
Grin
Damn
Grin
UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP
SMILE!
SMILED!

I the live version of 'Glam Racket' on the 'Oxymoron' compilation LP, Brix Smith sings of certain famous celebrity types (and Suede in particular): they say you are a star, but I don't give a fuck, I watch your head expanding as you're running out of luck. I can relate to thosre sentiments - I thought of using it as my signiature.

trance feeeedback 04.18.2006 03:24 PM
