Of course I'll nominate You Made Me Forget My Dreams! Of course I will. My first thought. Other than the Tom Waits song that says...From the things you can't remember to the things you can't forget. Which was that? hmmm...
Oh, Of course, it's TIME!! perfect for what I imagine this topic to be...
And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget That history puts a saint in every dream
You know, Shane, I sense that you don't really care all that much, but if you ever want to nominate a song (or bunch of songs) on the mothership, I think you're immune to the list/'Spill animosity, and I'd be glad to post for you.
steen - now if that Blimpy would be so kind as to nominate: Withered Hand 'no cigarettes' (I had to buy the album on cd (it so deserves a beautiful slab of vinyl) or 'Love In The Time Of Ecstasy' oh or 'New Dawn'
I think I have the same feeling with Withered Hand as The Streets - it's beautiful looking back songs - very thoughtful, using a facade of the dirty language they think they can get away with (without really being told off too much by their mums)
and yes 'the wrote and the writ' could have been in a few times lately..
I noticed you got WH in a b list straight off with New Dawn..
the words on the WH album are fantastic - almost too open sometimes.
I'm a huge Lenny fan too for his lyrics (I don't think this track is the strongest) but it suits Pixies vocals brilliantly.. Kim towards the end just makes it come alive for me.
I've got a copy of Pixies doing this song..
ReplyDeletewill you nominate 'You Made Me Forget My Dreams' bet you do!
I have a copy of the pixies doing this song too!!

I'm in a big A-list SLUMP anyway. Sigh.

ReplyDeleteSaneshane, I'd like to nominate the Wrote and the Writ
ReplyDeleteYour sentences rose high at night
And circled round my head
The circle's since been broken
Like the priest before me is breaking bread
I'm being asked to drink the blood of Christ
And soon I'll eat his flesh
I'm alone again before the altar
Shedding all my old regrets
The last of which I'll tell you now
As it flies down the sink
I never knew a part of you
You didn't set in ink, in ink
The letters that you left behind
No longer shall I read
Your blood's between the pages
And I can't stand to see you bleed
And I'll soon forget what was never there
Your words are ash and dust
All that's left is the song I've sung
The breath I've taken and the one I must
But I'd like to attribute it to you, if you'd like.
