Quality stuff, loved Wheels' Time in a bottle shout amongst others, lovely tune...posted it meself back in the thread.
Too comfy though.
"Cold Turkey", sweat pissin oot of every #%&*$# pore, seeing things in delirium that are not there, writhing in so much f*cking torment wishing you were f*cking dead, that kind of thing. Just say no, kids!
This is proper music though. It is real. Thought the Velvets did the "sound" and chaos of the delirium better, but it might hurt yer lugs. Scratchy.
No seriously, heed the wise Words of Mr Mayfield. The funk is strong, in this one. He speaks the truth. Choose life. Life is good.
Bit Stevie, and his Wonderous ways.
What? Its CHRISTMAS MAN. Peace on Earth, and ting. Innit?
Stream of Consciousness, 'Joycean' Dubliners vibe in fact (a literary reference if ye endured it) Life makes little sense at the best of times. Why should the lyrics. Don't think so much. Just feel it.
Beautiful song, beautiful message.
You I thought I knew you, You I cannot Judge You I thought you knew me This one laughing quietly Underneath my breath Nightswimming Deserves a quiet night.....
Covers are always interesting, its yer own take and "He did great Good"
Mountains O' Things
The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for someone else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a life of ease And mountains Oh mountains o' things
To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground And have a maid that I can tell To bring my anything Everyone will look at my with envy and greed I'll revel in their attention And mountains Oh mountains o' things
Sweet lazy life Champagne and caviar I hope you'll come and find me Cause you know who we are Those who deserve the best in life And know what money's worth And those whose sole misfortune Was having mountains o' nothings at birth
Oh they tell me There's still time to save my soul They tell me Renounce all Renounce all those material things you gained by Exploiting other human beings
Consume more than you need This is the dream Make you pauper Or make you queen I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged A grave that's deep and wide enough For me and all my mountains o' things
Oh they tell me There's still time to save my soul they tell me renounce all renounce all those material things you gained by exploiting other human beings
Mostly I feel lonely Good good people are good people are only My stepping stones It's gonna take all my mountains o' things To surround me Keep all my enemies away Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a life at ease and mountains oh mountains o' things
I'll be dreaming dreaming dreaming.....
PE: Prophets of Rage.
