This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
And every soldier's face is burnt,
and it's a mask of withered flesh.
And their hands have turned to rifles now,
and they kill everything and anything they touch.
So watch the trees swaying in the breeze,
keeping beat to the butchery.
And every subway station's wrecked,
it shuts down and off.
And business men in a panic: "Here they come! Here they come!"
And they collect power killing love.
So watch the bat,
a picnic death camp.
Keeping beat to the butchery.
So children come burn the skyscapers
and the city's alive.
Come clean within you.
And the metronome clicks like anew,
and the metronome clicks over our skulls.
And every single window pane is smashed,
and every compass smiling broken glass.
Here's a place where the soldiers came,
to rake up all that they could take.
So toss another bottle,
pull another pin.
Light up the sky in a butchery.
So children come burn the skyscapers
and the city's alive.
Come clean within you.
And the metronome clicks like anew,
and the metronome clicks over our skulls.
So children come burn the skyscapers
and the city's alive.
Come clean within you.
So children come burn the skyscapers
and the city's alive.
Come clean within you.
And the metronome clicks like anew,
and the metronome clicks over our skulls.
and it's a mask of withered flesh.
And their hands have turned to rifles now,
and they kill everything and anything they touch.
So watch the trees swaying in the breeze,
keeping beat to the butchery.
And every subway station's wrecked,
it shuts down and off.
And business men in a panic: "Here they come! Here they come!"
And they collect power killing love.
So watch the bat,
a picnic death camp.
Keeping beat to the butchery.
So children come burn the skyscapers
and the city's alive.
Come clean within you.
And the metronome clicks like anew,
and the metronome clicks over our skulls.
And every single window pane is smashed,
and every compass smiling broken glass.
Here's a place where the soldiers came,
to rake up all that they could take.
So toss another bottle,
pull another pin.
Light up the sky in a butchery.
So children come burn the skyscapers
and the city's alive.
Come clean within you.
And the metronome clicks like anew,
and the metronome clicks over our skulls.
So children come burn the skyscapers
and the city's alive.
Come clean within you.
So children come burn the skyscapers
and the city's alive.
Come clean within you.
And the metronome clicks like anew,
and the metronome clicks over our skulls.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
wtf where do we get this?
I think that
"And the national looks like a new And the national looks over our schools"
is actually
"And the metronome clicks like anew And the metronome clicks over our schools"
The rest of the lyrics otherwise sound pretty good but it's always hard to tell for sure.
And ^ to shfifty five, they might be releasing it....later on? in an interview, the bassist mentioned an ep they were thinking of releasing with this song. otherwise your best bet is downloading it.
incomplete thought from before: does anyone know the lyrics or even the title of the song that comes after this on the unreleased part of the album?
The other two songs I have from the unreleased section are labeled Champagne Party and Gladiators(acoustic, sounds sort of like Against Me!). I don't know if they're correct or what.
I read an interview with Morgan, the bassist. This is his favorite song off the new album.
This song is actually called "Metronomes".
He said it's a B-side and will be released on the next single (which I think is going to be either Love Rhymes or Peacock-- Trash Flavored Trash is also going to be released. It was supposed to be the first single)
i can hear the beat of the soldier's marching in the song. i think this sound really should have made it onto the cd.
This was one of the songs I liked better from the unmastered tracks, it should have made the album.
it's track 15 off of the unmastered advance of crimes. oh lordie. if any of you want, i could send it to you via aim.
it's on the singel "Love rhymes with hideous car wreck"
This is probably the only Blood Brothers song I haven't heard. Anyone on Soulseek have it?
