edna Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 "Cygnett Comittee" - Bowie. Wikipedia says... The song. Listen here... The lyrics: I bless you madly, sadly as I tie my shoes I love you badly, Just in time, at times, I guess Because of you I need to rest Because it's you that sets the test So much has gone and little is new And as the sparrow sings Dawn chorus for Someone else to hear The Thinker sits alone growing older And so bitter "I gave Them life I gave Them all They drained my very soul ...dry I crushed my heart to ease Their pains No thought for me remains there Nothing can They spare What of me? Who praised Their efforts to be free? Words of strength and care and sympathy I opened doors that would have blocked Their way I braved Their cause to guide, for little pay I ravaged at my finance just for Those Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility Those who said a new world, new ways ever free Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me" I bless you madly, sadly as I tie my shoes I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess Because of you I need to rest, oh yes Because it's you that sets the test So much has gone and little is new And as the sunrise stream Flickers on me, My friends talk Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word "We had a friend, a talking man Who spoke of many powers that he had Not of the best of men, but Ours We used him We let him use his powers We let him fill Our needs Now We are strong And the road is coming to its end Now the damned have no time to make amends No purse of token fortune stands in Our way The silent guns of love will blast the sky We broke the ruptured structure built of age Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage Where money stood We planted seeds of rebirth And stabbed the backs of fathers Sons of dirt Infiltrated business cesspools Hating through Our sleeves Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat Stoned the poor on slogans such as 'Wish You Could Hear' 'Love Is All We Need' 'Kick Out The Jams' 'Kick Out Your Mother' 'Cut Up Your Friend' 'Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End' And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above And We Can Force You to Be Free And We Can Force You to Believe" And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain It said: "I believe in the Power of Good I Believe in the State of Love I Will Fight For the Right to be Right I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right" And I open my eyes to look around And I see a child laid slain on the ground As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command But not hearing anymore Not hearing anymore Just the shrieks from the old rich And I Want to Believe In the madness that calls 'Now' And I want to Believe That a light's shining through Somehow And I Want to Believe And You Want to Believe And We Want to Believe And We Want to Live Oh, We Want to Live We Want to Live We Want to Live We Want to Live We Want to Live We Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live Live Live Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I looked at the video of The Veronica's the other day, Shawna. Their music is OK, not really my style, but OK. Their look is rather pedestrian, as far as I am concerned, so maybe the lyrics and content of the vid were to cause the video to stand up.....er, out.

MarcM Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I feel the love. Shawna, I know it is your birthday, but you have failed to provide me with the appropriate praise/pats on the back. Of course, you may do so in your own time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thank you for asking! I dropped an unopened can of Pepsi from an approximate height of 4 feet. It fell to the tile floor and exploded with great ferocity, sending atomized Pepsi into 3 different rooms (granted, I was in the hallway, thus the three affected rooms.) It took me 45 min to clean up the mess. I still need to shower because my face, arms and legs are sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
