| Beach House – Zebra Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Like in Cocteau Twins' songs, the meaning of the lyrics here is pretty much irrelevant to the experience that the song is capable of providing. It's all in the instrumental sound textures, the voluminous arrangement, the poignant chord progressions and mesmerizing voice timbre. I didn't understand half of the lyrics before coming on this page, yet I loved the song very much. Some musical genres are like that. Do you need to know the lyrics of a Latin chant to enjoy it? No. Now that I know the entire lyrics I don't feel like I've been led into some other important dimension of this song. AFAIC, Victoria could just as well be singing in Swahili and I'd love the sont just the same. |

| Grace Jones – White Collar Crime Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Grace Jones - White Collar Crime You're down and out and hungry, you rob the liquer store The pig throwed away the key after he's locked the door You were slapped on the hand after you stole little five hundred grams It's outrageous, nobody cares White collar crime - you don't have to do time Blue collar crime - you do time every time Stealing from a company Taking all the profits Sharing with your family Reaping all the benefits (?) You're shocking, it's all so mocking Do they get away with it Will they get away with it Do they get away with it Yes they get away with it Dirty money today Is clean money tomorrow (A crime, bah)? goes my mind Causes so much sorrow You take my land - protected by the law You steal one hand - "Hands up against the wall" It's all the same It'a a money-power game It's all the same Money-power game |
