Topic

You guys know how it goes:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know
My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee

There shall in that time be rumors of things going astray, erm, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia-work base, that has an attachment. At that time, a friend shall lose his friend’s hammer, and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight O’clock.

So some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
All that I know love as a caging thing
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
And all you folks, you come to see
You just to stand there in the glass looking at me
But my heart is wild, and my bones are steel
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

When something goes wrong
I’m the first to admit it
I’m the first to admit it

When something goes right

Something so right

If the sky that we look upon

Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No, I won’t shed a tear

I’m now slightly scared of Dave or at least his singing.

When Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) was in the charts, and I thought it was a terrible song. An awful message for kids (I was 15 myself), no proper singing, and clunky music that didn’t have a proper melody or anything.

Four years later, I listened to The Wall and thought it was the greatest piece of music ever made

Context is everything.

I may have mentioned this before, but maybe my favourite lyrics of all time are those to Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem”. Specifically, there are two lines that just hit me every time I listen to this song.

The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Yeah the wars they will
Be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
Bought and sold
And bought again
The dove is never free

Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That’s how the light gets in

We asked for signs
The signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see
I can’t run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they’ve summoned, they’ve summoned up
A thundercloud
And they’re going to hear from me

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That’s how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
You won’t have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart, every heart to love will come
But like a refugee

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That’s how the light gets in
Ring the bells that still can ring (ring the bells that still can ring)
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in

When I saw him play in Amsterdam, he started off the song by quoting those two lines “There’s a crack in everything / That’s how the light gets in”. Ever since then, those two lines of poetry give me goosebumps every time I hear them. They are incredibly powerful to me.

Turn my mic up louder
I got to say something
Lightweights stepping aside,
When we come in
Feel it in your chest
The syllables get pumping
People on the street
They panic and start running
Words on loose leaf
Sheet complete coming
I jump on my mind
I summon the rhyme I’m dumping
Healing the blind
I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways
We march to the drumming
Jump when they tell us
They want to see jumping
Fuck that, I want to
See some fist pumping
Risk something
Take back what’s yours
Say something that you know
They might attack you for
‘Cause I’m sick of being treated
Like I had before
Like it’s stupid standing for
What I’m standing for
Like this war is really just
A different brand of war
Like it doesn’t cater the rich
And an abandon the poor
Like they understand you
In the back of the jet
When you can’t put gas in your tank
These fuckers are laughing their way
To the bank and cashing their check
Asking you to have compassion and to have some respect

For a leader so nervousarrogant
In an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
In the living room laughingdumbfounded
Like what did he say?

EXTERMINATE!!!

There’s dancing, behind movie scenes
Behind the movie scenes – Sadi Rani
She’s the one that keeps the dream alive
From the morning, past the evening
Till the end of the light

Brimful of Asha on the forty-five
Well, it’s a brimful of Asha on the forty-five

And dancing, behind movie scenes
Behind those movie screens – Asha Bhosle
She’s the one that keeps the dream alive
From the morning, past the evening
Till the end of the light

Brimful of Asha on the forty-five
Well, it’s a brimful of Asha on the forty-five

And singing, illuminate the main streets and the cinema aisles
We don’t care about no government warning
About that promotion of the simple life
And the dams they’re building

Brimful of Asha on the forty-five
Well, it’s a brimful of Asha on the forty-five

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Mine’s on the forty-five

So was this, albeit the lyrics might be a little more softcore.

in honor of there being actual live baseball on Yes last night(it was intrasquad but still had the the actual Yankees playing)

I wanna to wake up,
in a city that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap

These little town blues
Are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you, New York, New York

Other half are just pissed off and don’t want to wear a mask and they’re just scoffin’.

And that’s how you end up catchin’ the shit off ’em.

“I just used the same basket as you shoppin’, now I’m in a fuckin’ casket from you coughin’.”

…,

“Prayers to George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery.

How the fuck is it that so many cops are dirty?

Stop, man, please officer, I’m sorry/But I can’t breathe when I got you on top of me/Your goddamn knee’s on my carotid artery.”

Somebody say…
Somebody say Hello hello hello

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

My father is a rich man
He wears a rich man’s cloak
Gave me the keys to his kingdom coming
Gave me a cup of gold
He said I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key

And I sailed away to sea, with the owl and the puddy cat in my beautiful pea-green yacht.

Fire Lord Ozai, you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of this world, and now you shall pay the ultimate price!

Well, I tried to tell you so (Yes, I did)
But I guess you didn’t know
As the saddest story goes
Baby, now I got the flow
‘Cause I knew it from the start
Baby, when you broke my heart
That I had to come again
And show you that I’d win

Coming out of my cage

And I’ve been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I’m falling asleep

And she’s calling a cab

While he’s having a smoke

And she’s taking a drag

Now they’re going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it’s all in my head

But she’s touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

And I just can’t look, it’s killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it’s just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside

Everything is permitted, everything is allowed
And all our gods we have outwitted
We are running with the crowd
And all the clocks are showing zero
And all our parents must have fled
And we just never had no heroes
And all our enemies will soon be stone cold dead

If everything is permitted, if nothing ever is taboo
Then there is always something shattered
When there is something breaking through
Then there is always something shattered
When there is something breaking through
Everything is permitted

This I know

I never said we are

Though I’ve never been through hell like that

And he who forgets will be destined to remember oh oh oh
Nothingman
Isn’t it something?
Nothingman

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy
